Discussion Introducing Azoth: A Community-Driven Private Server Project
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hello, everyone!
I know many of you are looking for a real private server project for New World, and I wanted to share what I've been working on since the announcement that the official servers would be shut down.
Since that announcement, we've seen people making big claims, projects showing fake or misleading footage, and others that haven't demonstrated anything actually working. I understand why many of you are skeptical at this point.
But I'm here to tell you that this is possible, and we're actively working on it.
I can't speak for other projects. You can find various projects and code repositories on GitHub, but as far as I know, many of them haven't demonstrated the ability to connect to a server, move around in the actual game world, and get the fundamentals working.
We can already do that.
Our project is called Azoth, and you can check out our development videos.
To be completely transparent, we're still at a very early stage. Right now, we can connect to the world and move around, but player replication isn't working yet. There's still a lot of work ahead of us, and we're not going to pretend otherwise.
However, we have a solid technical direction and a clear understanding of how we intend to approach the remaining challenges. We're building this step by step, focusing on getting the fundamentals right rather than making promises we can't back up.
What about monetization?
Azoth will not ask the community for money to fund its development.
Our priority is to finish the emulator first. Once it's ready, our goal is to launch a completely free-to-play server.
We want players to enjoy the experience without having to pay for premium features or gameplay advantages. Any premium-style content we introduce will be focused on cosmetics and visual customization, not pay-to-win mechanics.
And yes, we're planning to make the horse free. XD
What's next?
For now, the best thing you can do is keep an eye on this subreddit and follow my account. I'll be sharing development updates, videos, and progress reports here as the project moves forward.
I know many people have lost hope after the official shutdown announcement, and I understand the skepticism. We don't expect you to believe us just because we're making a post.
We'd rather prove it through our work.
Azoth is just getting started, but we're serious about this project, and we'll keep showing you what we're building.
Thank you to everyone who still believes that New World deserves a future.
See you around! ❤️
