While not quite a Minecraftian level of creation exists here, you will be surprised at how far and deep the player options go, allowing you to construct siege weapons and use them against other structures, the ability to breed and sell animals, including mounts, a large underwater element complete with diving equipment where you can search for treasure, and much, much more.ĭuring our demo, much of our time was spent traversing the seas in a ship, which you could go fully below decks and explore. Gameplayīlank Check. As one of four races in the game, you are given near carte blanche access to this sandbox world, allowing you to do nearly anything and everything you can imagine. Want to build a trebuchet and take down another player’s castle? Become a pirate? Escape from jail after being judging guilty by your peers? ArcheAge lets you decide what path you will take, and you can make changes at any point. If you want to be a farmer and focus on farming the land, you can do that. You will start from one of two different continents, Nuia or Harihara, after you make your choice of one of four different races: Nuian, the warriors Elf, graceful forest folk Hariharan, the workers and farmers Ferre, the cat-like nomads who seek adventure.įrom there you can combine 10 ability trees and over 120 different classes, giving you a ton of different options. MMORLY? This brand-new MMORPG has a very loose storyline, as the emphasis in this game is on whatever you want to make out of it. We don’t tend to use the word “breathtaking” that often with MMOs, but it certainly applies here. The game is out now in Korea, and due in North America in the near future from Trion Worlds. That’s what Jake Song and XL Games have done with ArcheAge. Song was one of the creators of the NCSoft hit Lineage, although he left that company in 2003 to found XL Games which began development on ArcheAge back in 2006. So how do you stand out in this realm? One way is by making a completely gorgeous game. Blizzard has been facing dwindling numbers as World of Warcraft has begun to show its age, and new titles like Guild Wars 2 and the upcoming The Elder Scrolls Online are all fighting for a chunk of that MMO pie. These games require massive amounts of time, energy, and money to develop their worlds, and once that is done, you face the daunting task of telling people about your title and getting some traction in a sea of other MMOs and video games. You can also find more information and pictures about the conference that this information was found from here.Right now, it’s a hard time to envy the life of an MMO developer. What else?Ĭurrently, I cannot find any information on what other things may come out or change in the 3.0 update, but keep looking at my blog so you can stay updated on what might be happening! There are going to be a number of siege changes, although it’s not very clear what they are. There is a possibility of cross-server arenas, so that’s something to look forward to! PvE/pvp updatesĪ new world boss (possibly a dragon) will come out in this update.Ī new type of skills, called Abyssal Skills, will be added to enhance combat.Ī new type of naval battle will be added, along with new ship components… And possibly new ships? (For the next content update after the Thunderwing Titan/Reedwind update).Īuto-roll on drops will be added (finally!) However, there have been rumors of Trion going to sell an item that will allow bound items to be unbound, so maybe that will come in handy for those who might want to move their character’s items over to another. XL Games does not plan to release any item or service that allows you to change the race of an existing character because they believe it will be more fun to level from the beginning. The two races will be able to activate these once they are level 30. The Warborn race is able to transform into a “Ravager”, and the Dwarves are able to have their own special form, called the “Juggernaut” (found in the background of the picture above). The Warborn (left) will most likely start in the zone “ Sunbite Wilds” (south of Arcum Iris in Haranya), and the Dwarves in Aubre Cradle (west of Dewstone Planes in Nuia).
