Archeage

I would like to have some feedback from you guys on this MMO from Korea: ARCHEAGE.
Thank you very much.


edit: what do you guys think of this --> BLACK DESERT

ArcheAge is coming out in a few days, head start is this Friday! We're super pumped for it. It has a fresh approach to open world PvP, land ownership, naval warfare and crafting. After playing so many onrails type MMOs a truly open world game with world PvP, player driven crafting, a beautiful world for exploration and player-built cities is a breath of fresh air.







I'm part of a PvP focused guild that's built a reputation for victory. Our goal is to claim villages, islands and a castle in the north and defend it against any who would seek our destruction.

We began in August 1999 in Ultima Online and have competed in every major MMORPG, on the respective hardcore PvP servers, since that time. For a more detailed account of our accomplishments, see our http://www.prx-guild.com/combatstatistics or our http://www.prx-guild.com/history. 100 members of our team have been with us over 6 years, we have 100+ testers in Alpha.

We look forward to the same success in ArcheAge and are always looking for a few good gamers and people. Note that we are closing recruitment on Wednesday so we can prepare our members for battle on Friday.

Iv looked a little into it. I have a feeling its going to be crazy grindy?

It's like PoE. Getting to a respectable level where you can do most things and compete with most other players only takes a week of /played. Getting BiS gear is nearly impossible.

Right. Though the difference here is you dont have people run up and kill you world pvp wise in PoE. Either way not here to talk about PoE. Im actually interested in this game lol. Im back into WoW again at the moment. However I wouldn't want to shift to a game with 2-4x as much grind. I didnt like Tera for this for example.

ZiggyD is sad:

That anyone would be surprised by that is extremely surprising.

In the vid, Zig admitted he had deliberately tried to ignore the trend, but things got too blatant even for his hopes for the game to allow him to ignore. ='[.]'=

The surprise is the eleventh-hour changes made to these elements:

ZiggyD is happy, again! =^[.]^=

The combination of PvP + grindy + P2W is just deadly. Not sure why anyone would play this. I adore the UO'esque aspects of it, and the relative openness, but ArcheAge seems to be far too big of a cash grab.

Trion started out pretty well, but somehow they are turning into Perfect World.

It's a pure example of a P2W korean MMO. It looks cheaply produced, and has all the "classic" elements of an MMO. In other words, it's an unimaginative derivative work with a ton of repetitious grinding.

I'm pretty sure since only paid members can build farms, and free members can steal from those farms, that this game is trying to attract griefers. Reviving mounts also costs money while other players can kill them on free accounts.
