December 2020 Community Update Blog
Mon, 21 December 2020
Hello Gamers™,
This is it, 2020 is finally over.
Major updates for the year are also done, so we are going to have a brief blog this month.
I hope you've all had/are going to have a great holiday season and enjoy whichever holidays you celebrate. Calgary (where the New World studio I work for is) is on another lockdown now, so we are all being sequestered to our houses. Luckily I'm a huge nerd and the idea of staying in and playing games during my time off sounds pretty ok.
There aren't any more streams planned for this year, so we will get back to that in January. I didn't have anything to announce or show off so I didn't want to waste everyone's time and get you all hyped up for nothing.
The studio is closed from December 24th until January 3rd, so you probably won't hear a lot from us for the next couple of weeks.
Since we spoke last we released Cold Blood. It's now live and in the wild, and the addition of toggleable optics has been a smash hit so far.
We also made a change with 1.9 that was less popular - the adjustment of weapon availability for factions. After the change went live we saw all the feedback from everyone and decided...

This scenario is a simulation and does not have any political message.
The Far Side of a Canal Flank by El_Chacho
1) SITUATION:
a) Enemy:
An ENY Bn (-) forward detachment is probing our east flank and trying to find a vulnerable point for future offensive operations. The ENY will likely attempt to secure a crossing over the Mittelland Canal.
b) Own:
Our Cavalry Squadron is re-locating and re-orienting its screen mission in order to protect the main body. Troop A (your command) is on point for the next two hours.
c) Attachments and detachments: un-armored vehicles and dismount reconnaissance troops are detached from the main body and under your command.
2) MISSION:
Secure OBJ Heineken and do not allow ENY forces to cross the Mittelland Canal.
3) EXECUTION:
The Squadron needs two hours to start moving forward, re-position and re-orient for a new screen mission. The crossing at OBJ Heineken and the absence of ENY forces on the west side of the Mittelland Canal is essential for our future operations.
a) Concept of Operation:
At your discretion.
i) Maneuver:
At your discretion.
ii) Fires:

LIF:MMO (Dev News #194) The end of LIF MMO!!!!!
Fri, 18 December 2020
Dear feudalists!
We are forced to close Life is Feudal: MMO.
Yes, that's it, we have to close it, and we have to do it because of the reasons that are beyond our control.
A couple of days ago we received an official letter from a certain company that basically says that they will stop paying us our share from LiF: MMO. There is nothing much we can do in a legal way since we do not have the required funds to pay for the costly legislation in the US. Especially in a situation where our own hard-earned money will be most probably used against us.
Back in 2016, this company was preparing its first steps as a publisher and a video games investor. From our perspective, we believed in them and thought that a publisher who is making its first steps will be more motivated and more flexible in a way how they can publish and market our hardcore niche MMO.
It resulted in some hectic marketing and PR attempts, partly misused marketing budget, and failing to fulfill some of their obligations. In the end, we had to make our own attempt to establish operations in the CIS region, work by ourselves with a PR agency, and try to grow...
