New World released on September 28th, this is a brand new game. We should know that there will always be some problems when a new game is released, and New World is not listed. For example, there is no minimap in New World, which seriously affects the player's gaming experience.
As far as MMO user interfaces go, New World's is incredibly sparse. However, while getting rid of bundles of potential hotbars is a welcome adjustment, replacing the genre-standard minimap with a Skyrim-style compass has left behind some players longing for additional conventional navigation tools.

Two players went ahead and built their minimap themselves:
Redditor Morbrid and their buddy created their minimap that successfully presents a portion of the game's regular map within a small portion of the display at all times, eliminating the trouble of having to open the main map on its own. It seems fully functional, presenting the site of sellers, resource nodules as well as letting you aim and out at will.
"One of the most common complaints at the moment is that the map isn't easy to use when in towns - its always zoomed out, or you can't see anything because of the "Upcoming War" message," Morbrid wrote. "I teamed up with my friend to build a minimap to help improve on the map interface, stop us getting lost in towns and make it a bit more efficient to farm resources while out questing."
Going by the opinions, it seems like a lot of gamers are eliminated to locate an alternative to constantly opening and finalizing the primary map. However it's currently uncertain whether New World even makes it possible for these sort of addons-- the absence of minimap seems a purposeful option, and the activity's Terms of Service are vague on where the video game draws a line in between cheats as well as UI mods like this.
