Why do you love Archeage? Share your epic moments

What features do you like the most? Share your epic moments.

Personally I love how much there is to crafting and farming. You can literally craft anything - castles, houses, underwater farms, gliders, ships, boats. I also love the farming aspect. 

Another thing which I love how many interesting game mechanics there are - battle pets, different types of mounts for different types of occasions, gliders etc. 

I love the fact that everything is seamless and that there are very few instanced places - e.g. a couple of dungeons.

But utlimately as I am levelling up I find that there are tons of stuff to do. Bored of questing? Craft, farm, do trade runs, go PvP. I have done tons of pvp at low levels. I love how much player interaction there is and the fact that my "goals" are usually not gear related - e.g. I want a mansion, farmhouse, large farm, submarine, new cooler gliders, new ships, fishing boat!

I will share some of my epic moments later on today. I am only level 28 but I have experienced quite a few fun situations with members of the other faction!

 

Please bear in mind this is not a thread to talk about what you don't like about the game. These kind of posts are unrelated to this topic so feel free to use one of the other threads for this.

    I wouldn't say I love the game, but just yesterday I saw the coolest thing I've seen in an MMO in a while - a populated and busy town/village. People farming, crafting and going about doing things among the farms and buildings. Different crops growing in rows everywhere with people harvesting them. It's almost as if it was some staged scene from a trailer. I haven't really seen that happen much since ATITD, Puzzle Pirates, UO, SB, etc... basically in almost a decade. 

     

     

    There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

    I like Archeage, and most things about it.

    Unfortunately I haven't been able to log into the game yet due to ques, so I probably will start to play when the hype dies off.

    Laughing on my arse off listening to a guildmate say how a nice couple of guys with their harpoon clipper were towing his rowboat down the coast to help with his trade pack run... as they then proceeded to tow him into international waters, gank him, take the pack and leave his corpse floating in the sea! :D

     

    Really shouldn't trust anyone who isn't in your guild! ;)

    Oh man, now I am really wanting to get past these queues to play. This is exactly the type of game world I want to live in.

    I think what I loved most about Archeage was their homage to Mission Impossible where their game download self destructed. What can I say, I'm bitter.

    Still only lvl 22 in a small guild where the higher one is 42, everyone with bad gear.

    But we try to deliver some packs in pirate island anyway, we fail, but was alot of fun trying to reach the npc and avoid enemys.

    We only lose half of the packs, those who stay on boat circle the island when others "scout" the island, we deliver the rest of packs in a more safe zone, less reward but was fun.

    We will keep trying, its part of the learning process and one day we will made it  image

    I'm very slow at progression, but yesterday I finally got a boat. I was probably in the water for 5 seconds before these two rpers come swimming by, they were chasing each other, boy chasing the girl (typical) at any rate she jumps in my boat and is hopping around all happy, I row over to the guy and let him in too, he is trying to push here into the water (collision detection) I spin the boat to give her and hand and wouldn't you know she pushed him off into the water. I started rowing away as he tried to chase the boat down. It was quite humorous and it all just came out of nowhere for me.

    What do I love about Archeage?

    It gives me a good reminder and makes me appreciate the other MMO companies who know how to put up enough servers for launch, who understand how to not completely piss off their customers, and know how to overall run a business.  Sometimes you need to see someone do something really crappy like Trion is doing, to really appreciate the other guys.  Thanks Archeage.

    I'm in a very large, very organized guild on a high pop server.


    My most epic moment so far was a 180-person cross-continent trade pack run. 4 raids, each raid lined up at the farm wagon to receive a pack. And then the guild galleon we built came around the corner and sails unfurled. Wow. Escorted by a dozen clippers to scout and pick up the overboard, it really was very immersive since we were all ready to "purple up" if attacked. It was a peaceful run so I'm guessing most wannabe attackers took one look at the armada and said hell no. LOL


    Most epic part of this? 200+ peeps in TS and you could hear a pin drop. ;)
