Actually its free to download and play with a trial key so ha :P EPIC FAIL
That don't mean anything unless you have the a trial key. You still need to purchase a box set to get perma account.
You are wrong sir. Free to download and play. Never payed for a box, just signed up for an account, and added in the key they gave me on the spot. All you have to do is sign up, download the client, and enter the FREE key they give you. There is no trick, no catch-22, this game is absolutely free to play, I have never spent a dime on it, ever. NEVER PAID A PENNY FOR IT.
Freaking amazing that some people believe item shop games to be free. They are not.
Never paid a penny, like I said before, not even in an "item shop". Leet gear can be bought through the auction house easily. The "item shop" in Archlord basically sells stat and exp buff type items (which last for limited times), which I could care less about, as they do not have anything that would give me an actual edge, except of course faster xp gain. I make my money the old fashioned way, I play the game. Nothing more, and I do just fine, great in fact. I kick ass in pvp, and never spent a fricken dime dude.

Well then i guess you do not play the game a long time.
1ST) The chantra items that as u said are like buff items are more than important for pvp. Giand pots(purples)that increase your life points, evasion pots(blues) that give you 20%possibility to evade or block attacks, defence pots +10 defence these 3 potions only (not to mention the rest) make a character twice as pwoerfull. So if u say you kick ass in pvp you are either below level 45 or it is not true.
Let me explain sth.One of the best armors for lets say level 50 and a sorcerer increases your life for 200 HP. And thi is one of the best armors you can find. Giant potion now increases your life at the same level for 200HP too!!!!!! same is for evasion and defence pots. And there are like 10 more items you can use in pvp that make you even stronger. So it is simple Chantra items(real money) make a character powerful
2nd)As some of us mentioned before there are also some items not chantra items that some people have and you can not find now unless you pay 500$ like physical defence rings that by using the e-mail bug make u truly invincible!
This is a game made to make money of the players more than any other game i have played. It is way better to know that u have to pay 15$ per month, than paying 50$ and the game saying FREE!!!!!!
I'd say skill would be knowing the right skills to hit in a given situation - not on muscle memory, but on knowing who you're fighting, their strengths and weaknesses, and being able to think on your feet and adjust your tactics accordingly. The best PvP'ers I've seen have been those who could change their tactics on a dime and adapt from one moment to the next.
Well do not bet your life savings cause you will lose them.
I have been playing this game for ages.
If a character has bought from the stores a ring that gives 10% more life, and if it mails it to himself (cause it is a bug) it will give 20% more life, and the same for a 5% physical resistance ring that will turn to 10% physical resistance, and this character is full of chantra items (the items you buys from the game with your credit card), then this character can kill 4 of the same level that have no such items even if they have a perfect character build.
Trust me i have tested many things in this game and if you want to be really good at it you need like 50-80 euros per month. If you give 30 Euros you will be an average player, and if you give no money then you will be only a PvE player grinding all the time cause the other players will kill you
Well then i guess you do not play the game a long time.

Well IMO i think the game is ok it is no more of a grind then L2 or many other games out there with the exception that you can do it all for free and i like how so many ppl bash it and they them selves have prolly never really experienced the game properly or have spent way too much time playing a game that hands everything to them to know what it is like to work there way to top lvl, GRIND,GRIND,GRIND meh if you did not grind in an MMO seriously what would you do?
The OP is clearly a person with not many MMORPG experience .... after playing this game for 1-2 weeks. i found out its the BUGGIEST thing ever, there are bugs everywhere, i keep getting stuck on trees, npc,s , normally fail to click in mobs... Meh and this are the simple bugs..
And oh lol... this game needs skill? what skill? the skillk of point and click and then click in numbers and spamming potions? .. Skill is only present in WASD MMORPG games mate.. where the way u move, or many of the moves are based on the location of your char comparing to the oponent.
Archlord fails.. it could had been a good game, it certainly had bases that.. however it was a total failure.
I would just like to say that no Archlord isn't great, merely good. But to all the people telling the OP that he must not have played many mmos, because he enjoys Archlord, you are being judgemental and short- sighted.
Besides, YOU must have not played many mmos before, if you think that Archlord is the worst one. Actually it is one of the better f2p mmos. I don't have the time nor the patience to list off the sea of crap out there that makes Archlord look like a super model.
Sadly, people will always do more of the former so they can do as little as possible of the latter. People will always try to circumvent the system. Close up one hole, they just start looking for another. For some people that *is* the game.
Heh...someone said at lvl30 they were like wtf am I doing? I got that at lvl3 But its f2p so can't expect much. They got WASD now but its buggy. The PC always turn the other way when you are through running. Its better to click to run in that game in my extremely limited experience with it. But it was enough. Wont ever give this another glance. Even AO is better in its fp2. AO classic a damn sweet game to be honest, but it's showing its age.

Haha, Maybe you should play some more games.

Its no wonder Codemasters and some other companies have paid for some research to be done on MMO economies.
- 100,000 players pay 10 each month, is 1,000,000
-100,000 players and 10% pay pay 100 each month, is 1,000,000
Archlord....pfft.
I'd rather pay 15 dollars a month on a game that is balanced and fair for all players.
Even if its free to play, you're gonna start hating it after you try to add stones and reinforce(upgrade) your weapons after level 29.
The game has much potential.
But, the game sucks.
****Think I've said enough****

what is "freaky amazing" is that this game has no anticheat protection.
So trust me when i say..at lvl 4 first thing i noticed was high lvl botters in low lvl spawns.
A great game indeed...only matched by the failure to provide anticheat
Be carefull of what you say, tommorow or today, for the words that you now speak, may be the poison your enemies later seek; Truth
Sadly, people will always do more of the former so they can do as little as possible of the latter. People will always try to circumvent the system. Close up one hole, they just start looking for another. For some people that *is* the game.
Archlord is a really nice game
I haven't played it so long.. It seems to have problems with windows VISTA
The game was chrashing and freezing all the time, and that's why I quit
But maby I'll give it a try again soon
-------------------------------------------------------------------
waiting for ... nothing..
Heh...someone said at lvl30 they were like wtf am I doing? I got that at lvl3
But its f2p so can't expect much. They got WASD now but its buggy. The PC always turn the other way when you are through running. Its better to click to run in that game in my extremely limited experience with it. But it was enough. Wont ever give this another glance. Even AO is better in its fp2. AO classic a damn sweet game to be honest, but it's showing its age.
