ArcheAge is a Free to Play (with optional subscription) fantasy version of EVE Online.

TL;DR Version

Spoiler

 

It's a Free To Play sandbox MMO where you can choose from ~120 different classes, build your own house & farm, or join a guild and create a town. You can also choose the path of a pirate, and instead of doing all the hard work you plunder and pillage other peoples ships and towns. There are no loading screens (bar dungeons and special areas) so you walk, sail, glide or ride anywhere you will. Player convoys sail between continents, praying pirates or threats from the depths do not get them. 

 

 

 

Some of us will be playing the faction consisting of Humans and Elves under the guild name "Red Corsairs". We'd love more of you to join us

 

 

 

Basically at Level 1 you pick a class-component. At level 5 you pick a second, and level 3 you pick a third, the combination of three determines your class. I chose Battlerage (melee weapons), Defence (toughness and threat generation), and Auramancy (buffs and party defences) to create my Abolisher class which plays like old school Paladin from WoW: Vanilla. Naia strung some unholy combination together and managed to make a Hellreaver, meaning she fights like Jax from League of Legends assuming he takes the Ignite summoner spell and flash

Note: Graphics in video are alpha footage and quite shite. Actual graphics are very sexy on full

Oh, this is the thing you didn't tell anyone about. Right.

 

Seems like an interesting cross between WoW and Minecraft, kind of (in so far as you can farm or build a city with a group of people).

 

Is the idea going to be to group and and raid and so on?

[MetalHead666X]

Possibly. But will we actually play this seeing as that whole RoR thing went downhill pretty quickly. I mean I like the Idea of it, and I will probably end up making a character that randomly turns into flame. I will find a way. 

 

All depends If I can run it though. Looking at it, its more than likely.

The RoR thing did NOT go downhill, I told you it's being recreated (currently alpha status) and it wouldn't be fully playable for years. 

 

With that facepalm delivered, there's a few of us going to be playing this as our main game; the more of us who play it, the more stuff we can do. Obviously we'll be recruiting people in the game itself but any of you are welcome. Note that we're playing Human and Elves, so if you want to be the asian or cat-people race then you will not be able to play with us.

You'll be on at like 12 AM for me (UK), right?

 

Typical. Consider this a maybe.

[MetalHead666X]

thats out the way, but can I burst into flame?

[CruciasNZ]

The guild will be majority US timezone so hopefully there'll be a lot of people on throughout the day. You're a Mod on here so if you want an Officer position within the guild it'll happen; from there you can recruit and organise people within your own timezone. Remember we're likely to schedule events on Sat nights (UK) so we can have all timezones participate!

 

@Metal - not entirely sure, however the sheer volume of fire based AoE attacks leads me to believe it's likely

Is this thing by chance on MAC?

No OSX isn't popular in Korea so they don't make games for it. Trion is only the redistributor of the Korean game. It does not run under Wine or Codeweavers either - if you want to play you'll need a bootcamp partition

Ill be picking up this game. I may possibly buy into the beta depending on school and stuff. Looks like fun!

[Authrix]

So I signed up to the Beta.

 

We'll see how doomed I am.

[CruciasNZ]

We're on the NA server called Naina or something like that (the only one with an N in the name atm). Beta is expected to be back up weekend of the 16th

With the continuing success of ArcheAge’s Beta events, we are thrilled to announce the dates for Closed Beta Event 3: Blood & Bounty.

Our third Closed Beta Event will begin at 10:00 AM PDT next Thursday, August 14 and run through Monday, August 18 at 10:00 AM PDT. With this next Beta event, ArcheAge going to get even bigger with over double the number of invites randomly sent to those who signed up on the official ArcheAge website, even more Beta code giveaways on partner websites, and additional servers! Remember, all Founders get into every Closed Beta Event!

[CruciasNZ]

Just thought I would poke this again. I've been hard at work recruiting people from my trail through MMO history and sounds like we're going to have an easy 10 people before we start recruiting in the game at all!
