Game looks and sounds very impressive. Not sure I agree with all their mechanics but I'm willing to see how it plays out, especially with all else it offers.

the amount of terrible MMOs that came out of asian region is just staggering; they don't just test for koreans only, the game itself is designed for asian players period.
look at Aion, they sure westernize that game; it was the same as the chinese version and the korean version. The only difference was the language! They are no such thing as westernizing an asian mmo. they're bad, no matter how much effort they put into the graphics.
I've played so many MMOs from asia, none of them kept my attention because they're bad.
I hate Koreans MMOs, read all my posts about Lineage 2, Aion and Tera, let's not even talk about the F2P ones..
I can tell you though, Archeage is not just your usual Korean MMO, when Jake Song said that Archeage has been developed keeping in mind the western players, he meant it.
They don't have to westernise the game because it is already designed for the NA/EU
I can see that through the game design information that are leaking
This game looks a mix of UO, Darkfall, WoW and Aion.........4 completely different games blended together
Will it work?
Well WoW stole the best features from its predecessors and it worked, so if XL Games plays well its cards this game could do very well indeed
They're really going to have to elaborate on the trial/jail system. That'll be make or break for me. I'm completely through with days of non-consensual PvP.
How will PvP work in the game? Is it an open system? The answer is half yes and half no.
*sigh* kkthxbye

"The answer is half yes and half no. In ArheAge, players can attack another player if they wish and can steal crops that the other user raised. Such sandbox features can give fun, but it can create conflict and disputes between players, and might damage the game play. Especially free PvP is favored by some but hated by some others. So in ArcheAge there is the trial and jail system. Players who kill another player will be put under a trial by the other players and be judged whether the activity was reasonable or not."
To bad another sandbox that under estimates peoples ability to cheat and exploit.
Sigh... and there goes my interest with ArchAge...
I will NEVER play a MMO with open PVP, corpse looting and CERTAINLY not one where I am judged by other players. NOT IF HELL FREEZES OVER!

A trial and jail system eh? I can already see people abusing that simply out of spite. As the game isn't released yet, there is still a chance for things to change. So I'll simply keep an eye out.

Time for me to move on. I had high hopes for this game since I really like sandbox MMO's.
is this game going to be another Aion..total pvp and no pve?..what i mean is are there going to be pve servers?
Tera is going to be the next Aion
Hmm, unlikely. K-Tera is actually not doing well while K-Aion on the other hand is going strong. How it will do in NA is debatable.

I can't see the trial and jail system working. If anything that kind of mechanic is going to lead to more greifing and abuse than comes with standard pking in sandbox games.
LOL you people assume to much in a game you never played... its an indie not an AAA where they follow a scipt they do what you want a and gamers want, being in game design I had an idea like this for a wild west game, it will work if you do it right and have anti griefing where certain choices can't be picked.
Example, someone killed someone one time, death, wrong, if it was someone killing , and killing, aka griefing then you get an option to say death. But if it then then get jail, for ex amount of time , or and some big fees, even have it where your friends /guild can get you out by raiding that town. Etc.
So stop assuming things , gamers today have no pataince and expect the world... Go to school and you would understand what it takes to make these games, and what you can do.. I did.. I know now.. But I never whined like alot of people do .
Pardon? I'm not sure why I am even bothering to respond to your post quite frankly but for the sake of argument here goes....
The only thing I am assuming (and this is coming from someone heavily biased towards ffa pvp) is that people will work a system given a chance. Any system which allows other players to decide the fate of others via some form of 'trial' is going to be prone to griefing.
Until we get clearer details it is wise to debate the point, given the fact it has been posted here for that very reason. If you do not like the fact that people are putting out opinions, why the hell are you here? Or do you take umbrage at the fact that I didn't immediately jump to the high heavens and proclaim the second coming over such a notion because "you had this idea for use in a wild west mmo"?
ArcheAge may well get it spot on and it is an interesting take on the idea, but as it stands it is right to pose the question that yes, such a system could well be prone to excessive amounts of abuse.
At this moment in time and with just the very idea put out there with no details, the system looks like it could be prone to griefing and potentially even worse than standard ffa to me. Sorry that get's your knickers in a twist.
"Come and have a look at what you could have won."
I dont know why they say its for Western market...i mean watch the beta videos and you will see the game is very korean in style.
Game sound great but i cant stand the Korean style.
Playing: PO, EVE Waiting for: WoD Favourite MMOs: VG, EVE, FE and DDO Any person who expresses rage and loathing for an MMO is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae.
This game has began to perk my curiosity but the fact it is a korean game and only tested by korean testers will most likely mean it will be a grindfest when its all said and done..
I am watching it now and glad to have added it to my tiny list of only 3 games that may be worth my time..
A broad statement like that is full of holes. Ask anyone who has been in war and there are always nuetral and even beneficant parties with only the interest to help. The trial system is pretty interesting to say the least. Although in function it really depends on some fantastic community individuals. Ive seen it work on free Uo shards. We'll see how it all pans out. I for one am excited to see how the character models are fixed up. With the crytek engine there using the models could be amazing!

god damn koreans i wish i lived there
The game itself looks ok but the anime like overtones will ruin it.
Why does every asian MMO have to have some retarded looking cat women in it. Its so lame
Yeah like EQ1-EQ2-Vanguard. I don't know ,all these retarded western MMOs with cat people in them..
It is not a tree.
You have 10 skill at your disposal but you can choose only 3 of them to mix and match
Just browse trhough the official website and choose the "Abilities" section
You have 4 premade classes but you can play around with the skills if you choose the "advance" option
I believe this system is quite clever and interesting

XLGames is planning on creating both PvP and PvE servers, although this is not final yet.
i doubt my computer will handle this....damn. so much for waiting for this game for years...
This truly is the GREATEST mmorpg ever made ever in the history of ever made MMORPGs ever...EVER.
How?
It has nothing to do with it, except some graphic cues
Tera is going to be the next Aion
Archeage has very little in common with Aion, Tera or even Lineage 2 (even though they share the same producer)
Archeage has 3 main playstyle
A Theme Park PVE, Hardcore PvP, and Sandbox economy and community features.
This game is not Aion
I just don't see a trial and jail system working at all.

I agree
I meant it as similar gameplay
Tera is quite similar to Aion, probably it is a bit more PVP focused than Aion, but they are not that different
Aion is tab-target auto-track tank and spank. Tera is aim and dodge. Huge difference.

Playing GW2..
Looks awesome
But, I hate being penalized for PvP. "For Me" I didn't care for it in Lineage 2 either.
In war there is no PK and Carebear, everyone is a solider.
Definitely a deal breaker, unless they refine the system.
