This is the point the people in this thread are making. That nobody plays them cause most players don't want to play them. That's why 90% of them fail, why publishers avoid them like the plague, etc. Albion is the only one to have seen widespread success since EvE (so 20 years). That's because they actually designed their game well. PvE only zones (blue), varying gear drop rule zones (yellow, red, black), content that can only be done by solo or small groups, making gear acquisition easy to pad the negative feeling of dying.

Most pvp mmorpgs just give a ton of freedom to their players (mortal online, fractured online, etc). And they take advantage of that to cause the process seen in >>1238387.

Chances are if New World had followed Albion Online's example and implemented a similar structure, it would've blown up in population. NW first attempted the "too much player freedom" in the early testing stages. It backfired and cause a bunch of issues. So they reworked the entire game. But if they had gone the albion online route, I fully expect them to have seen much better success.
