How to play

Blighted is a community server that runs the Blighted Emu emulator. It is a work in progress: many parts of the game do not work yet. See what works before you start.

1. Own the game

   You need your own legal copy of New World: Aeternum, the final PC client (build 25810808). We never share game files.

2. Get the Blighted launcher

   Download it from the download page. The launcher logs you in and starts the game for this server.

3. Make the patched client

   The game needs a small patch before it can connect to a community server. The client patch guide tells you how to make it from your own install.

4. Join our Discord

   You log in with Discord, and only members of the Blighted Discord server can play. Join the Discord.

5. Connect and play

   In the launcher, type blightedemu.com and click Connect. Log in with Discord, make your account, and press Play.

Before you play, look at the server status. For help, ask in our Discord.
