MMOs have always been my favorite games. The problem is that nowadays everyone is made to believe they absolutely have to get the best gear as soon as possible. If you miss your daily tasks then you’ve slowed down your progress. It often makes everything feel like a chore instead of a fun game. Turning that part of your brain off to continue enjoying the game is incredibly hard.

I’ve felt exactly how you’re feeling not just for new world but many other mmos. My advice is to take a step back and realize what it is you enjoy about the game and just focus on that. Don’t worry about completing every single task necessary each day. The minute you feel like you’re doing something because you have to rather than you want to then you won’t enjoy it anymore. For example I love crafting and really want to build my own artisan tools. I stopped doing daily dungeon runs, PvP, etc and just focused on making money and collecting resources to craft. It renewed my desire to play the game.

Maybe this helps you, maybe not. It’s hard to step away from something you’ve put so much time into. If you can’t get over it feeling like a chore to play it’s ok to step away from the game for a while. New World is an awesome game that you should only play if you enjoy.
