ArcheAge Beta

[Scrooge]

Can use our Uthgard channel on IRC, if you'd like, it's simple to connect/join (can be done anywhere) and gets the job done.

3:00 AM MDT would work perfectly...

I'm trying to get off of work early with the excuse of "I have furniture being delivered at 2 and my wife isn't going to be home"

It starts at 1pm est, so I can log in and figure out what server etc and post it here. We need a time we can agree on...was thinking 7pm est?

Gonna try it out. Made me super sad to see this though:

ArcheAge Credits may be used to purchase boosts, equipment, mounts, and tons of other items from the in-game ArcheAge Store. Visit the ArcheAge Free-to-Play page for more details.

Yea this kinda sucks. I really hate pay to win games. I can understand buying cosmetic stuff like marvel heroes does, but boosts and shit just give people an advantage. I'd rather have it be a good game and be sub based....

The boosts are pretty minimal, TBH. You can get mounts and gear for your mounts (that increase their move speed, HP, and defense) that you'd be able to get otherwise in the game without needing the credits. And the boosts are pretty dumb, too. (Like, you don't lose exp for an hour when you die. Stuff like that). The majority of the store stuff is cosmetic.

That's good to hear.

I just hope that the true subscription model isn't extinct. I understand that the free to play model provides some instant return [microtransactions] on development costs for investors, but they need to realize that original mmorpg players are not 15 years old now. They are, by and large, 30-50 and have enough income to pay for a decent game. Thinking about it, I would pay upwards of $40/month for an evolving game I could look forward to playing every day.

Wow costed > $60 million to create and profited $8 billion (most of it from subscriptions).

Gimme some qualityyyyy.
