    Helllooo!!!


    If you are going to be playing Trion's new F2P MMORPG ArcheAge, Please please please let me know here what your IGN will be and what race/faction preference you have. (Currently the majority of our guys i'm aware of play Nurian and Elves) We were approached by a few other community friends from other games and I told them I would let them know if we would have people to play with them or not!

    Please comment if you are going to be playing the game.


    And for those of you reading who might think "da fuq is this shit?!":

    ArcheAge is a F2P fantasy sandbox MMO from Trion. In comparison to other MMO styles and features I will simply say that ArcheAge is about:

    - 30% Guild Wars 2
    - 30% World of Warcraft
    - 10% Rift
    - 10% Runescape
    - 10% TERA
    - 5% EVE Online
    - 5% Everquest
    Below are all the main blurbs from their website:

    RACES & FACTIONS
    ArcheAge is home to four major races: spiritual Nuians (Medieval Era European Style Humans) and secretive Elves (Think Link from The Legend of Zelda) share the western continent, while the nomadic Firran (Hybrid Khajiit from TES and Charr from Guild Wars) and cunning Harani (Medieval Era Asian Style Humans) inhabit lands to the east. Loose ties connect the neighboring races, but allegiances are fluid, forever complicated by the whims of pirate factions sailing, trading, and pillaging at will.

    CLASSES
    ArcheAge features over 100 classes built from 10 skillsets favored by the gods and heroes of the Great Expedition. Skillsets host a range of abilities, from Sorcery’s devastating spells to Songcraft’s soothing ballads. Each one levels up independently (as you gain experience with a skillset, you will unlock its array of powers) and over time you can master them all.

    After reaching level 10, you can combine any three skillsets to make a unique class. You can swap skillsets in and out to change classes as often as you like, with no predefined path to follow. Experiment and discover classes to fit any situation, and all with the same character!

    Player-Driven Economy
    Gatherers, crafters, and traders: You are the engine that drives ArcheAge, and its economy is yours to control. Master diverse skills to craft goods and homes, galleons and castles. Transport and trade materials across the realm, braving danger and piracy to support your allies in wars that will change the fate of the world.

    World-changing PvP
    The Land of Origin offers immense wealth to those with the will to claim it. Assemble allies and build an empire to span continents. Sabotage your enemies’ trade and lay waste to their armies in the field. Rally your forces and craft massive siege engines that will carry you into the heart of rivals’ power – and help you rip it away.

    Naval Combat on the High Seas
    A vast, uncharted ocean separates the old continents, its churning waters ruled by chaos and gold. Amass fame and fortune by securing trade routes and controlling their flow of resources. Riches await whether you lead fleets against enemy armadas or ply the waters as a pirate for hire – just beware what lies beneath!




    EDIT: Changed some percentages as I experienced more of the game ;)

    EDIT: THE SERVER WE WILL BE PLAYING ON IS CALLED Aranzeb, AND THE FACTION WE WILL BE IS THE NUIAN ALLIANCE. (nuian/elf) That is where we and our friends over at 903rd will be located as well as a few other outfits. SG will be playing on the Harani Alliance, same server

    In beta I've been playing Elf/Nuian but am willing to switch for live if that's what we're doing. Haven't decided on an in game name yet, it's got to look good as one woird since you ca't stick a capital in the middle.

    BEWARE THE DARK LORD, GENE.

    I'll likely be playing on Tahyang since that's shaping up to be the unofficial NA RP server. And I am a filthy, filthy rp'er. AA may end up being the best game for RP since EVE, given the sandboxy'ness.

    So do we want to be law abiding types or more villainous?

    I just watched a few videos, especially the PVP ones.
    The game looks like a really nice mix of TERA, ESO, WOW and some GW2. I'm pretty sure that the graphics are way better that what we see on Youtube.
    Since the game is Korean, does that mean there will be endless grind for everything or did they make it friendlier for the Westerners?

    Also, PVP combat looks kind of iffy but not in a bad way, more like little clunky in a way.
    I wasn't able to gather any information on Battlegrounds and/or Arenas but the World PVP seems to be legit. Knowing that the game is made by Trion (developers of RIFT), I wonder if they have an open ear when it comes down to listening to their community.
