The developers briefly thought they’d fixed the issue and dealt with the characters stuck in this state. But as players continued to transfer over the last couple of days, it seems it’s become a larger ongoing problem. So, they’ve paused character transfers for now, and will turn them back on when they’ve fixed the exploit. Character transfers were added to New World to help with long queue times in the popular MMO. The idea is that players could start a character on a less populated server so it didn’t take them ages to get in, then move into their preferred server later down the line once queues started to ease up.
