The New World December patch brought with it a host of issues that the developers did not take into account. WIth this update they are focusing on resolving them, and preparing the game for future changes.
This week’s update is focused on resolving some of the issues that have arisen from the December Update. While the development team is continually working on improving the New World experience, they also give thanks to all players for your patience and reports that you continue to make on the official forums.
The first fix is focused on the Restricted Coin Lockboxes earned from the Tree of Light to players level 15 and above to coincide with when Event Quests are enabled for players. This change was implemented to discourage bad actors from repeatedly creating new characters in an attempt to exploit the availability of coins.
To enable a level playing field for players, Amazon have reset the faction cooldown time for all players. Once players choose or change a faction the duration of the cooldown will be set to 60 days.

And as far as Azoth is concerned, developers have fixed an issue causing Azoth balances to not update after fast traveling or crafting. Azoth balances should now adjust to show the amount spent when traveling or crafting.
Hopefully, this will offset the problems the December patch has brought to Aeternum, and there were a lot of those, and prepare the game and the player base for the, dreaded, January patch.
