Can you play New World Aeternum solo?

If you're new to MMORPGs, you might be wondering if you can play New World Aeternum solo. Although this might sound absurd considering the game's focus on online content, you can play New World Aeternum solo from start to finish. The developers have made it so you do not need to rely on others to complete the storyline and other quests.

A large percentage of the player base is expected to play online due to the existence of PvP, which gives you the option to fight other players and/or team up with other like-minded individuals to dominate the battlefield. However, this is not mandatory, and you are free to avoid PvP if that is not your thing. Instead, you can focus on PvE and enjoy the game without worrying about getting stuck in a fight with real players.

There are no benefits as such, but playing solo can be a slow grind. Instead of being shown the ropes, you will have to discover things by yourself. This is not bad, but as mentioned, it will slow down progress. On the contrary, if you decide to team up with another player, and if they happen to be more experienced, the grind will be relatively easy.

Experienced players will be able to teach you how to effectively min-max stats and gear for maximum damage output. You will also get a better understanding of how to use resources to earn New World Coins as revenue. And of course, they will help you find lucrative loot spots of different kinds.

However, keep in mind that these are just based on an ideal scenario, wherein you find a helpful player. If you find someone who doesn't want to help you grow or is a beginner, you might as well play solo. However, teaming up does help when it comes to killing mobs since even beginners bring decent firepower and muscle to the fray.
