How to select a faction in New World MMO?

This guide will explain how you can select a faction in New World MMO. When you start playing the game you don't belong to a faction. You are a standalone guy and you can do whatever you want to do. But if you want to progress and participate in all the activities you will have to select a faction.

You can't do it right after you jump into the world. You will have to complete some quests before you can select an alliance.

Don't worry! You will not have to wait for too long. The game will ask you what alliance you want to join at a certain step after you complete some missions in your first village. All you need is to relax and follow the general quest line. Sooner or later you will see a similar screen:

This means now it's time to make a decision.

Why you can't select a side right from the start?

It's simple. The game wants you to get familiar with all the available factions before you select one of them. The main quest line will ask you to complete several quests for all the three sides and you will understand what they do and what their goals are.

You will also be able to follow the territory war and see what side is stronger. The game gives you time to understand the situation because the faction choice is permanent! You will not be able to switch the side later on. That's why we advise thinking twice before making a final decision.
