gonna be a looooong time
Settle down, Beavis. I understand your excitement but the game is still years from releasing in the West. At this rate you'll get a seizure before you actually get to play the game...Unless you live in Asia, then it's another story.
ArcheAge isn't released yet. Only upon release will we know what the real score is. Every single advertised Feature of ArcheAge is nothing more than a "design option" until release. All MMOs are made that way now. If a Feature proves too difficult, or too costly, out it goes.
Besides... Suits run MMOs now... ALL MMOs... whether they admit it or not. Never trust a Suit. Suits forgot how to play.
(For my purposes no MMO exists until it is made for / converted to a Western English speaking Player base. Until then I can not play it because I won't understand it. The greatest MMOs in the World might exist in the East, but unless they are Westernized (into English) they don't exist for me.)
haha unless you want to learn korean then your gonna have to wait a good few years before you can get your hands on it.
Stop getting so worked up on a game that is years a way.. sure the feature list is nice but how many games have we seen with awesome feature lists that just dont deliver..
Calm down..
not gonna happen lol
Seriously. . . this was the first thing I thought of when I read that post. . sorry I know it is hard to watch.
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
Dont get me wrong im playing this when it comes out simply for guild vs guild territory war...however
Im looking through all the info and looking at the youtube videos.
I see classes, i see quest question marks above the heads of NPC's...i havent yet found any information on how progression works in the game (do you level do skills level and if they do how)
This game doesnt look like a sandbox, and player housing doesnt make a game a sandbox.
Is this a case of believing anything with player housing is a sandbox again?

"Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day!"
yup when i read about that it totally put me off the game..
Still there is a long way to go so wo knows it might turn out good..
It have actually been worrying quiet about this game lately, people were really hyped up when it was in beta this winter and early spring but since then almost nothing....
I wish this site could find someone that speaks Korean and have him or her make a review of it and tell us how the game actually is doing. it is surely one of the games I really would want more information about together with WoDO and Class 4.
Im excited also but u better see the release of this game so we can see the real deal
"Come and have a look at what you could have won."
Rift has all the above and it is not a sandbox MMO - it is always called a themepark. Sandbox - themepark who cares what it is......
I think people need to stop pidgeonholing games, over-hyping and just allow them to become.
If it only cost 50 moillion then there will be somethings not developed fully, many compromises, and some things that are OK. 50 million is not lot of money for games any more, with all the computer power needed to render them, code them, etc.
From what ive recently read about people in the closed beta:
A pvp criminal and staling system. You leave blood in murder of fellow faction players and footprints when stealing from them, both can be turned in but im not sure what happens after that, mention of consumables such as a broom to conceal crime and "finger print powder" used to unconceal the crime, probably cash shop items. Theres a jail as well. No penalty for ganking other faction.
Instanced seiges and instanced battlegrounds.
Themepark quests.
I see theres some minor glitches and only 30% of the game world is open, which leaves a lot of room for more beta or issues down the road.
Oh and the skill system works based off your level. You apparently can swap any of the 3 skill trees which define your class for a cost, however how many skills you have access to is determined by your level.
Like i just said, ill play this game simply for the guild vs guild territory war and seiges, theres no other endgame mechanic i like more than that and recent games seem to ignore it.
It certainly doesnt look like a sandbox however. Just because theres player housing and ability to build stuff doesnt mean its a sandbox. Still has levels quests a storyline instanced pvp and other themepark rides.
None of that stuff is a bad thing, however, this is NOT a sandbox. You going to be dissapointed when you get in game and see a bunch of npc's with question marks over their head who all need 15 mob tails.
Either way ill be playing though.
Hmm,i'm a huge fan of AA but saying it seems to be the only post MMO with depth is wrong.
It's an hybrid mmo which is not alone in the depth department,seems hybrid is the way to go.
Oh, and did i mention that Vanguard has plenty of depth as well,it's also an hybrid mmo.
