About Archeage

Currently in the closed beta phase, Archeage is a new MMO from Korean developer XL Games, who are known as the former developers of Lineage. It is being published in the west by Rift and Defiance publisher, Trion Worlds.

Archeage brings a breath of fresh air to the MMO market with its strong sandbox and crafting features, such as highly customizable open world housing, a very intricate crafting and economy system and 120 different character classes. The game also has very strong nautical elements with player-craftable ships and ship-based combat and trading. End game content includes player crafted guild castles and siege combat with future updates promising player created factions with faction v faction combat.

What does Archeage cost?
Archeage uses a variation of freemium called the Patron system. Patron status will need to be bought monthly for real cash or from other players with game gold via the auction house. It is possible to play without Patron status, but this does limit you quite a lot. It would certainly be possible to create a free account and then grind for the gold to buy Patron, but this would be a significant challenge at launch. We recommend buying at least one month's worth of Patron and then using game gold thereafter.

When can I play?
Trion is currently running closed beta events lasting about 4-5 days each at two week intervals. Keys can be obtained from giveaways, but are only valid for that event. No dates for open beta have been confirmed, but we estimate that it will start some time in October. For instant access to beta events, Founders packs are currently on sale.

What are the Founders packs?
There are 3 different Founders packs, each with different benefits. All however include access to all of the beta events with Patron status included for their duration, and a four day head start at launch. They include varying amounts of cash shop gems and Patron status, and a title each. The highest tier pack also includes access to the ongoing Alpha server.

Are the Founders packs worth it?
The Silver tier pack costs $50 and includes a month of Patron status and $20 worth of cash shop gems. The gems should be able to get you at least one more month of Patron, so in all for $50 you get two months worth of Patron, access to all betas (with Patron), and the four day head start. After the first two months prices should have stabilized and it should be easy to maintain your Patron status with game gold. So in all the game need never cost more than this $50. So, yes it's worth it.

Where can I get a Founders pack?
They can be bought directly from the game site at ArcheAge | ARCHEAGE FOUNDER. Protip: The game is much cheaper if you pay in dollars. If you see prices in Euros or Pounds, try and clear your cache and refresh.

Is Archeage pay to win?
Nothing we've seen or heard about the game up to this point suggests any aspects of pay to win. Archeage is freemium however, and therefore not a free game. Purchasing Patron status, whether with real money or game gold, is definitely recommended in order to experience the game in full. The game does have a cash shop, but features primarily cosmetic items. The few non-cosmetic items are not bound and can therefore be bought from other players via the auction house.

Will there be server wipes?
There is definitely going to be a wipe before launch, but we're still waiting to find out if there will be a wipe after CB as well.

How grindy is the game?
Being Korean, Archeage is definitely not free of grind, but the due to the broad sandboxy gameplay, the pain of the grind is vastly reduced and there are hordes of things to do. Max level though can be gained in under a week. The real challenge is crafting the end game gear, housing, ships and the guild castles.

The 2 games I have been following for a long time is this and black desert, I'm thinking of getting the Archeum pack for alpha access but just can't motivate myself to pay $149.99. Yes there is loads of bonuses but its still a hefty amount, but still looking forward to it!
 
Fully agree. Everquest Next also sounds very promising for the same reasons. I did the math, and I don't think the Archeum pack is worth it anymore. Basically if you got it when it came out, considering you got Patron for the entire length of the Alpha, which amounts to about 6 months or more, then the monthly cost is very low. But getting it now, the value is much lower, and that server is pretty saturated, so it's hard to get anything done. For the reason I wrote before, I got the Silver pack instead. I expect the closed and open betas to last for quite a long time, since Trion is currently negotiating a major customized patch prior to launch, which should take quite a while to implement. So I figure I'll get my money's worth.

If you just want to try it out though, the next closed beta event start next Thursday, Aug 14, and there will be keys given away on all the major mmo sites. Including Curse, MMORPG, ONRPG, Mmohuts, Alienware & Razer. Plus, if you've signed up on the Trion site, there will be a larger amount or random keys issued too.
 
This game looks epic.

But $149.99 for a game (R1,600.00 +/-)... I dunno man. That is a bit over the top for a game.

My wallet is looking at me right now saying "Keep on dreaming homie that ain't gonna happen and you ain't gonna win the lottery any time soon."
 
The game has gone through quite a lot of updates recently, and so I need to add some updates here as well. Tried editing this old thread, but I can't seem to find a way to do it. Have had to instead make a new one, and so am closing this one.

We've also settled on our server choice - Dahuta. See you all in game.
