Amazon Games' new MMO New World runs into trouble when it accidentally bans a streamer for milking a cow--with a misspelled ban pop-up.

Amazon's MMO game New World is becoming increasingly notorious for crashing and stressing or even damaging computer hardware, but now it appears that players have something else to watch out for. One New World streamer was accidentally banned from the game for attempting to milk a cow.

Milking a cow is not a particularly difficult or controversial action in the game--in fact, it's a basic action that is usually rewarded with a consumable item. However, when popular Twitch streamer AnnieFuchsia attempted to milk a cow last week, she was immediately slapped with a “permenent ban" pop-up, complete with typo. This isn't the first time players attempting to engage in a simple action has caused the game to react strangely, as another player had New World crash on them while fishing.

The text of the pop-up explained that AnnieFuchsia has been permanently banned for one confusing reason--namely, that she had been banned. Soon after the tautological reasoning was made clear, she began giggling and commented that the pop-up window's header wasn't even spelled correctly. This information is not particularly helpful when it comes to figuring out why she was banned, though it does give players an avenue to appeal accidental or misinformed bans. Since New World featured paid cosmetics and other opportunities to sink real money into the game, it may reassuring fans to know that a permanent ban--or "permenent ban"--isn't necessarily the end.

Asmongold, another streamer known for his MMO presence, soon weighed in on the situation and helped shed some light on what was going on backstage. In his own stream, he quickly called AnnieFuchsia and explained that his chat had let him know about her circumstances. Reportedly, he'd talked to someone on the New World staff who told him that AnnieFuchsia's ban had been accidental, they were looking into reversing it, and it was okay to milk cows in the game. While this conversation appears to have put one set of concerns to rest, 3090 owners are still warned not to play the New World Beta.

For the most part, fans appear to find the situation incredibly funny, but some have already begun criticizing New World for several core issues. Fortunately, the general consensus seems to be that the devs are handling criticism quite well. Unfortunately, fans have a lot of criticisms to make, from confusing bans to lackluster storytelling to a feeling that there is very little to experience in the game. With the latest GPU controversy also placing stress on Amazon Games, fans may have to wait and see if New World will sink or swim in the modern gaming market.

New World is scheduled to be released on August 31 for PC.
