Arche Age and a NA release date?
I have been following this game for two years and there has been no information at all, in regards to the north american release date..Im begining to wonder if AA will turn into one of these titles that will get release in Asia, and 2-3 years later we see a English NA version of the game. It is annoying that we on a daily basis see screens from the Beta but still years after it was announced for an NA version have heard very little about its release. 2012 is the asian release and news on NA or opinions on when we could see it?
I have a feeling that if Arche Age doesnt hit the NA market before q2/3 2013 then its bound to fail with the amount of sandbox games that are due out within the next 1-2 years.
Heres to hoping we get some information on the NA version sooner than later.

People have been speculating about AA for a while. I am of the opinion it never sees the NA market. I can not believe it has not found a publisher already.
Everything you need to know about Elder Scrolls Online
Playing: GW2
Waiting on: TESO
Next Flop: Planetside 2
Best MMO of all time: Asheron's Call - The first company to recreate AC will be the next greatest MMO.
I think we have a better chance of learning Hangul faster than that ArcheAge gets released on our shores within a reasonable amount of time.
Ugh, that sentence sounds off somehow.
Thier is little to no news on when ArcheAge will release, still keeping my eyes open but for now I know as much as you do.
Yeah i agree, considering the amount of interest it has it is odd they have not found a NA publisher.
Oh well even if it doesnt make it here, we have pathfinder, Legends of Etherell, and a few other sandbox mmos due out in the next few years, maybe if were really lucky gnostaria will resume full development again once Realmsource/finder are out and create money funding for the Gnostaria project.
Fingers crossed.
Also i wonder why MMORPG.com doesnt have those games listed....
You won't hear anything about a NA release or publisher until CBT is completed.

2015 Q4 Release for NA/EU
It will not fail.
The asian market and it's population is a better mmo business land than only NA. I myself am from India and the amount of players switching to mmo these days is very high. If you google the population of India alone you will find a mere 10% of one of this asian country is a few times of entire NA.
They are actually making a smart move of making a good game release where the player base is ever growing and increasing and in course of time will over take NA by leaps and bounds.
If I am into selling something, it is better to sale where there are lot of buyers than sell where the number of potential customers are limited in number.

Ah so you have a nickname for your toilet as well?

Asking Devs to make AAA sandbox titles is like trying to get fine dining on a McDonalds dollar menu budget.
Having A NA release after an Eastern release is the best news I have heard about AA. NA gamers are simply to immature, impatient and lacking in vision to support a game at release that is not finished and polished. Releasing in the East then waiting 1-2 years on NA release allows polish and content to get added where the fickle NA gamer might be more accepting of the product. Eastern players are much more patient and understanding and are willing to wait for a game to get fixed. The release 1st in the East model worked wonders for L2 and FFXI but not doing so was a disaster for FF14.
I hope AA takes its time on a NA release. The longer the better the chances for success.
Other Triple A Sandboxes announced before 2013? Didnt hear about them. And WoD is far away from release, maybe 2015, if we are lucky.
And they have enough money to release ArcheAge in NA by their own. And dont forget.. there is the Europe Market, too.
So no need to lose hope... but i cant belive this will release in Asia 2012, it really didnt look finished/polished enough for release. Is really a release date announced?
ArcheAge will never fail,just because it may not come out in NA does not mean it will fail lol.XLGAMES has the whole of Asia and Russia and Europe to go at.
It already has a Russian Publisher,next step europe IMO.
It could actually come out in Europe before NA,now that would really be funny.
Just hoping this game doesn't get screwed with as with most NA publishers who don't know what their doing. End up selling products that are either completely different from the original and breaking things.
If it does come to NA just hoping this game isn't gutted to fit some QQing immature WoW players and their asian mmo phobias.
If it does come out in NA with the same mind-set as EME they might as well leave the game in Korea.
In one of Jake Songs interviews he states that the game will be launched in the USA. we have to remember, just because we haven't seen anything as far as a US publisher, doesn't mean there isn't already one, or that their team isn't working on transulation already. Its not a matter of if, its just when. My guess would be early to mid 2013.

What are all these sandbox, "quality" games you are talking about coming out? There's a few...Archeage, Tera you could call a limited sandbox, World of Darkness (probably 2015), Game of Thrones (production just started) thats about it.

It already failed by releasing in the east first.
Name ONE game that worked in NA that was released in the east first ? It just doesnt work. The NA gamers are not hardcore anymore they want carebear casual crap that they dont have to work for to get stuff.
Lineage 2 and FF11 are two games that benifited greatly by releasing in the East first. Contrast those two to FF14 releasing globably. NA consumers simply do not have the maturity or patience to play a MMO that is not finished or polished. There simly is not enough timeor money for AAA developer to releae a game with broad quality content that is polished. Normally a developer has to decide whther to go big with poor quality and no polish like Vanguard and hope to finish the game after release or go narrow like Rift and broaden the content after release. Making a sandbox game generally only allows the 1st approach but with the ability to release in the East first a game can do both at least in NA.
The best thing any MMO can do is release in the East 1st where players are much more understanding and loyal and then release a year or two later in NA when the game has polished and mroe fleshed out content. The most promising thing about AA is that it will release in the East first meaning there is the possibility we could get a game with enough content and polish that may retain a fickle NA playerbase.
There is a chance they have already begun some inhouse translations for NA even without a publisher. Is this my speculation? Yes it is. Truth be told we have no idea. Maybe they have a publisher for NA and are keeping it under wraps for now we don't know. Here is to hoping I guess. I really can't wait for this game to come out.
Actually Asian MMO's that release in NA have very little bugs. Hell those koreans test the shit out of the games over there. They release here in a better state than every other NA MMO does. Look at Rift, AoC, SWTOR and the list goes on how buggy those are. So you can't say it failed before it even released. This game is going to be big if they can have the content which they do and all the classes. The littlest details that they brought out in this game are what is going to bring it to life. It might even be an RP'rs dream lol.
On another note it hasn't released yet in the East get your facts straight.
I am not a fan of RIFT but call it buggy just shows you cant be taken seriously.
Not to mention MMO's don't fail or succeed based on bugs, or even a smooth launch. Anarchy Online is all the proof you ever need to disprove that notion.
While I agree that Asian markets are certainly viable in their own right, for people to start writing off the NA market as insignificant based on population is pretty dense.
When you look at the Asian market there are language issues all within the one zone. Not everyone in asia speeks korean, or mandarin. So the work that needs to be done to bring the game to NA has to basically be done for every country in the asian zone.
Converting the game to English however gets the game 90% ready for launch for practically 1/2 the world, and not only that, the affluent half where a lot more people have the disposable income to buy the game. An English version works in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Western Europe and half of Eastern Europe and some of South Africa.
No, the relevance of the market is not the question, simply whether the market wants AA is the bigger question and what publishers are probably asking themselves right now.
If we look at other games imported from korea they take a year or so to release here after releasing in korea. and they had partners before releasing in korea (I think).
so using logic archeage is releasing in korea pherhaps end of 2012 start of 2013. best case scenerio it releases here in 2014 or just before tbh. and likely later considering no partner yet.
so people should really stop holding thier breath for this mmo!
