Go figure.
Some people can drive their car for hours and hours to the Grand Canyon just to find out it's nothing but a big hole. Sometimes you have to do something just to see what it's like no matter how long it takes.
I'm glad folks are doing the driving for me so I don't have to.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
This is the reason why I am quitting...The game requires to much. This game is for hardcore, its just if your gonna play this casual its gonna take you a LONG time to be competitive
If you have a guild that can just give u everything then you've got it made.
Points I agree with.
This game is niche, it's for the invested player, not the casual drop in for 30 mins a night to run a dungeon guy, I agree. It is 'hardcore' in a way that most modern players won't like. saying that, if you wish to invest and pay in, AA, IMO, will pay you back 100 times over.
Good guilds are essential. This is an interdependent social game that relies on you having a solid support network of good people.
Most mmo's are very social games.
I reached max level and the guilds i tried are mostly support made guilds. After playing for so many years, it is easy to say what the guild is. Didn't find many actual players in game. I quit because whatever the game has to offer does not appeal me and the community side is pretty dead. The FUN part is missing and the gear race and the crafting race might challenge the RNG factors but oh well, not my cup of tea.
On top of these the hacks available and the lack of player interaction due to the model of the game makes it a chase to no-where. I cannot play a game to have super gear with which i can PK everyone from the other faction or make some GOLD at auction house selling some goods. I need FUN and clean and decent player interaction.

I mean, I accept that it doesn't appeal to you, and that's fine, but to make a statement like 'the community side'is pretty dead' is ridiculous to me based on the game I have experienced. I have found AA to be hugely interdependent and community based.
I haven't played a game that is so guild/ social network based for over a decade tbh.

Fun is subjective. Its why there are hundreds of posts like this, in spite of the ridiculous amount of hours you waste white knighting for it. Its too bad you cant change the majority of peoples opinions on AA with sheer willpower, that would make you a Jedi.

There is subjectivity, and then there is plain falsehood.
The following opinions will definitely be considered as plain falsehoods:
1. There are no social interactions in this game (clearly false, because it is above anything, in fact is a guild and commerce game)
2. Not much population, which is also clearly false. Just look at the jury queue alone (NOT the game log in queue) and you know how much people are playing the game at any one time, on one faction on one server.
3. Pay-to-win. Clearly false because there is basically nothing you can buy in AA cash shop that you CAN'T buy with ingame gold (that is, including patron status).
Not saying what you said is falsehood at all, just thought I point this out generally since these are points which naysayers keeps referring too.

So you can buy labor pots with ingame currency now? Well thats a step in the right direction. course if you have to earn in game money to buy item shop credits, its going to take far longer. and in a competitive pvp game, longer is akin to losing before before the race starts.

Weird.
I find no players to play with and you show me jury queue. I feel most, to almost all guilds are made by support player base and you still say that infinite number of people are actually playing. I didn’t need nor found any team-play side of the game till the highest level and you insist that it is all about team-play. I found dungeons lacking players to party with but the usual support player queue who can at best give you a single run. I found the game dead and you are insisting that it is alive.
Just for a logical cause. If your ArchAge is so wonderful and immersing and the community is so active and the jury queue is so entertaining proof of the population, why will “me” the player waste my time writing in this forum???
Speaking honestly, trion and its support player base or whoever and whatever is trying to control or make ArchAge look very populated is just trying. This trying is what I see in your writing too.
If the game had the elements and cleanliness without hackers and support player base involvement then may be it would have been a better example.
Given all said and done. I see you are trying hard to prove a ghost town full with players, that is a good try but for how many days before the game does not need to put up the show of population.
I can show a 600+ jury queue keeping 2000+ alts from the player base support side. I joined a few court cases too, but isn’t it some chat and a bit of joke to begin with?
What are support players or support player base?
”To all who do not know.”
Every game company when it launches a game or launches a new server makes an ample amount of characters to be played from the back-end to help the newly joined gamers to understand the game and give the knowledge and also to help. This support player base will make the fastest levels, get all the gears, get all the in-game currency and somehow be an example or sometimes try and control the game so as it does not become easy as a F2P and most F2P players are then manipulated to pay. However, this idea cannot be balanced completely and neither will be ever. It is well known that this same support player base is there to make guilds, is there to make social interaction, free up dungeon queues, etc. Sometimes this support player base is known to use game glitches and game flaws to their advantage. However, sooner or later this support base players or alts or ghost characters ultimately move away from the game once the game has a lot of players.
When I see ArchAge community, I only see support player base and no real players.

Yeah, I have read this same statement (joke?) from you here on these forums before. At least I assume it was you? You guys tend to merge after a while with your 'snappy cynicism'. Time for a new one maybe.
MMORPG.com... Where negativity is embraced and valued as 'valid', and positivity is dismissed a s'white knighting'. It's just so predictable and tedious. When the points are answered about the game, attack the poster, right?
Look, I am here to talk about the game, why are you obsessed with talking about me? I did enjoy that you you explained that fun is subjective though, right after me saying the same thing. Great posting.
Time to ignore you and your empty jibbing I think.

Callidor knows very very little by looking at all his posts. It doesn't stop him having rock solid opinions though.
I have actually explained all this about pots before to the 'criticisers' and about how easy it is to earn the gold to get them. It falls on deaf ears though, because they apparently know it all and are experts. See how he demonstrates a basic lack of understanding or knowledge of the game here, and then follows it up with another rock solid assertion?
5. Griefing doesn't make you flag purple--that is BS. You can harpoon friendly boats all day and not flag. You can knock people off carriages and not flag purple.
It should flag, I agree, but it doesn't. My solution? Fuck who flags first and kill them.
If you are talking about in a PvE zone, then yeah, I think certain abilities like harpoons should be disabled as is PvP.
Saying that, the obvious solution here is to do your thing in a PvP zone, and if you get 'griefed' flag and kill 'em.
Ves while i agree you gave OP the fitting answers to everything i don't believe you right here regarding purple flag.
The described case about harpooning should go directly to CSR requesting ban of such a player while in same time attacking someone where is aloowed is part of the game andget resolved with the in game justice system.
So IMHO it is either a case of ticketing and ban or getting care by reporting and ingame justice system (another sandbox innovation by AA btw PLAYERDRIVEN justice system !). No "purple flag" is needed.
10. I am not having fun and I don't have any goals. I have 2 houses, 4 gardens and and a boat and got those in my first week of play. My guild will fail at placing a castle--I guarantee that for sure with absolute certainty.
12. THIS GAME IS NOT IN ANYWAY A SANDBOX. Being able to build a house does not make it a sandbox. I see trees I can't cut down. I see stone I can't mine. I see npcs I can't kill. I see areas in which I am perfectly, completely safe.
13. THIS GAME IS NOT IN ANYWAY A THEME PARK. There are no dungeon Qs or battle grounds. IT IS a hybrid with none of the good features of either genre but the bad features of both see #5#7 and #8
Agree with these points.
The only thing keeping a lot of people logging in is the labor system. AA really shows how these time released F2P can be so addictive.
Right now endgame = Use labor to get money --> take a chance to regrade gear. No dungeons or battlegrounds required.
I am barely holding on for castle sieges, but my expectations are pretty low. Maintaining a 75 man roster for matches that only occur once a week is going to be rough.
I agree nearly with all in op, except I have (fortunately) started as trial and did not have houses, .... and about 15. Trion is just publisher. But this is their problem. They should never put their name on game they can not stand behind. Rift was one of the best releases ever, no bugs, no lag, multibuilds, wardrobe, ... since day 1 ... I really had a blast. Trion before AA was for me trademark for quality. For this reason I believed in AA. I was wrong.

Yeah, I have read this same statement (joke?) from you here on these forums before. At least I assume it was you? You guys tend to merge after a while with your 'snappy cynicism'. Time for a new one maybe.
MMORPG.com... Where negativity is embraced and valued as 'valid', and positivity is dismissed a s'white knighting'. It's just so predictable and tedious. When the points are answered about the game, attack the poster, right?
Look, I am here to talk about the game, why are you obsessed with talking about me? I did enjoy that you you explained that fun is subjective though, right after me saying the same thing. Great posting.
Time to ignore you and your empty jibbing I think.
Callidor knows very very little by looking at all his posts. It doesn't stop him having rock solid opinions though.
I have actually explained all this about pots before to the 'criticisers' and about how easy it is to earn the gold to get them. It falls on deaf ears though, because they apparently know it all and are experts. See how he demonstrates a basic lack of understanding or knowledge of the game here, and then follows it up with another rock solid assertion?
Amazing, really.
Ves while i agree you gave OP the fitting answers to everything i don't believe you right here regarding purple flag.
The described case about harpooning should go directly to CSR requesting ban of such a player while in same time attacking someone where is aloowed is part of the game andget resolved with the in game justice system.
So IMHO it is either a case of ticketing and ban or getting care by reporting and ingame justice system (another sandbox innovation by AA btw PLAYERDRIVEN justice system !). No "purple flag" is needed.
It should be 5x times more, people with so many proprietys and so many people with none.
All the rest dont diserve any comment...
Agree with these points.
The only thing keeping a lot of people logging in is the labor system. AA really shows how these time released F2P can be so addictive.
Right now endgame = Use labor to get money --> take a chance to regrade gear. No dungeons or battlegrounds required.
I am barely holding on for castle sieges, but my expectations are pretty low. Maintaining a 75 man roster for matches that only occur once a week is going to be rough.
I agree wit all these poinst...for you.
AA is NOT the game you are looking for.
