Over the weekend, Amazon Games has been trying to sort out a time warp bug in New World that caused several servers to leap forward a few months into the future, wreaking havoc on territory control due to unpaid territory upkeeps.

Aside from adding a new weapon, New World’s latest “Into the Void” update also included a whole host of balance tweaks and changes from the starter zone all the way up to the endgame.

It’s probably safe to say that New World has had its fair share of exploits, maybe even more so than most MMORPGs.

It’s been a rough month for Amazon Game Studios following the launch of New World due to persistent launch issues and having to quash exploit after exploit after exploit.

It’s another day in Aeternum, and with it another New World gold duplication exploit. Amazon had already disabled all forms of wealth transfers yesterday while they work on a solution to a duping exploit, but lo and behold, a new one springs up in its place.
