I can't go back to tab target combat. I understand that there are other things they wish to focus on to make the game more broad and they want the pace slow.
If I need this type of play, I'll go fire up Aion again or something. Thanks but no thanks.
Funny. This is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for. I cant stand action combat. Has no business in an MMORPG... but they havent been making those for years.
To the others who are hating on the game ... its obviously not made for you but please recognize there is an audience who wants to play this.
If you really think this is antiquated and out-dated go play GW2, TERA or whatever new shiny pretend-to-be-MMO that suits your fancy.
I could not have said it better myself. If this game is not for you then gtfo.

Its not about being "pushed". Its about wanting to participate and interacting with others. Open high seas war fair and castle sieges? who wouldnt want to take part in that. even as a spectator. You dont even have to participate in the sieges. You could be a supplier of goods to ether side. making siege weapons or repairing them. Beats the hell out of me what there is to do at lvl cap. but lets hope to god its more then just dungeon crawling for gated raid gear.
Oh and btw. from what i heard the best gear in game is CRAFTED!!!!!

Its 2013, I thought we'd be past all the UI clutter and tab targeting by now.
tab target, or something similar, will be the standard in 2023 too. Get used to it.
Although with consoles grabbing more MMO attention youll get a bigger % of action combat (maybe someone will even make one with interesting action combat), but tab target will always be the standard because its a much better fit for the genre.
Novelty of that will wear thin... I mean, unless you are a heavy role player... and most gamers are not... none of that is anything more than a novelty.
Every game loses its novelty eventually. I think there are some pretty cool pvp features that will add replay value once all the sandbox / exploration is done with (e.g. all the stuff in The Land of Origins). Also, this IS an MMO. Meaning, it will keep being updated for years to come.
"For those who aren’t familiar with the game, there are two continents that are safe from PVP. But north of them, across the Sea of Serenity is the Land of Origin: ArcheAge’s big free-for-all PVP area."
This is how you handle those who want PvP and those who want PvE . You put them in the same world with a PvP region. Here at least Archeage ticks the right box.

I just want to point out that the writer is wrong on this account. Over in Korea, only the lvl 1-30 areas on the 2 continents are safe. The lvl 31-50 areas are free for other players to PVP, especially for opposite factions.
There are huge pvp battles that go on both the western and eastern continent, not just in the northern "Land of the Origins".
I cant figure out why people are hyped about this game, it adds NOTHING new to the genre, its just another ripoff with horrible visuals and dated gameplay.
F2P is again a wasted concept, its just absurd. Wish em good luck becouse their gonna need it for sure! Iam staying away from this game becouse of the huge hype that will result in utter dissapointment in the West.
And mmorpg.com staff should stop hyping this game, this is just horrible.
People who are lazy like you should better keep quiet, than say pointless things without doing a bit of research!

that news alone with worth my time.
You know what I meant by pushed...being forced to take part in it for quests, loot, crafting materials or because there just plain isn't any real PvE end game to do. If there is, then PvP is optional and not forced! and I will take it gladly.
Good news though if its true that the best gear is crafted, of course if the materials are not only gain in the PvP areas. Cant wait to find out more.

Yeah, the combat is by FAR the worst aspect of ArcheAge.
Free to play is quite disappointing. Free to play game MMOs are very "drop in, drop out" oriented, while sandbox MMOs are very "long term goals" oriented.
Kinda hard to build a community based on long term goals when people have the mind set of "I can stop for a week or so if I want, it doesnt matter, its Free to play afterall".
The dedicated players will still be there, if they want to be. Or do you want players to feel forced to stay?
We both know theres no dedication to f2p games. None by the devs, or the players unless you actually play that game seriously meaning you have absolutely nothing else to play.
They don't need to do anything to let people get to the land of orgin. The players should stop being lazy and hire themselves out as escorts against the pirates. Sandbox solution, check it.
I dont mind pvp, but i mind that i cant deside for myself, when to partake in it.
Cant stand the idea that apparently there is only some 5000 house plots total in un pvp zones, that can be claimed.
Say 100.000 joins the first day... what about the 95.000 other players? they are forced to build a place where they can get the house burned down, robbed, getting killed etc, just because they were to "late"? stupid idea.
And the taxing of safe house areas just screams to high heavens.... what is there to stop a guild to demand 80% tax? alot of people probadly cant pay that, is evicted, and guild members can settle down... or the guild could sell the safe house area for highest bidder.
It all sounds like a good idea, but in the long run it will make alot pf people flee from the game(i fear) and tell their friends, not to join, since they wont have a chance of... well probadly anything, but to be fodder for the masses... and so the game will die slowly, since no new player will join and spend money in the game.
If there truely was a place where i could build my house(no stupid taxes) and go about my day(harvesting, planting, killed etc, i would sign up and have a try at AA.. but as it is now... why even bother, i am not a pvp player, I would hate to log in and see my house burned down, my crops stolen/forest harvested etc. just because some stupid idea of "you no fast playa, go unsafe place to live".
I didn't mind the pvp when they said it was up north. However, if it's all out pvp after 30, then forget it. I don't need a gank fest. I liked WOW (before they made the game so lame) where it had pvp, rp, and pve servers. You had a choice if you wanted to face the gank fest or if you wanted it with instanced restrictions.
Eve could've been greater than it is. It's a great game, but has only gathered a small portion of the players it could've had. You can't leave the low lvl safe zones without a slaughter.
Korean AA is showing that you can't leave the safe zones without a high seas slaughter. 1v1 I'll fight you. 5 or more is just stupid. Getting robbed is not fun. Getting smacked by packs of "sociopaths" is just a pile of steaming S##T. Don't need it and don't want to smell it.
Give me a start to endgame safe zone, or a PVE server w/options. Otherwise forget it.
F2P, B2P, Sub, I don't care. As long as it's not P2W. Type of play makes a bigger issue with me over type of pay. GW2 B2P works fine, but it's a reallllly boring game. IMHO.
Funny how you talk about GW2 being boring, when you hate the features that makes MMORPG not boring. Fear of losing and item decay is what really makes a game worth playing in a long term. It might be fun for the first weeks to do everything in peace, but what is the reason of playing if u dont have anything to lose? Its like playing counter strike with godmode, might be fun the first 3 rounds but after that it really loses its meaning.

Phew we need to calm down. ArcheAge does not use a mega server, it uses normal old style servers. So there will be about 5k plots of land in the safe areas for each server. Why would there be 100,00 players playing on one server?...lol
The only place your house can get burned down, is if you build it near a castle on the 3rd "Land of Origin" continent, and it can be torn down during a siege. That is it.
If you have a scarecrow they create 25 m safe area around them, so nobody can steal from you. It's why you see plants and animals around scarecrows.

From someone who's favorite games are ultima online, shadowbane, anarchy online, asheron's call and swg pre cu this game is exactly what I have been looking for . I am all for full loot on death also. I have pretty much had no mmorpgs to look forward too until now. I have absolutley no interest in games like everquest and wow.

Full looting upon death is one of the principal reasons people fled UO (including myself and my wife).

When they added the mirror world in UO with no pvp is why I left the game. To each his own and UO back when it came out was always packed more people left when they added that than any other time. I wouldn't mind them adding a server with less harsh looting condition for more care bear type players but for me personally it's not my thing.

Sure can, here is a video of a lvl 16 player and his friends finding a nice island to place their houses and gardens.
