    Anyone remember Evan "Scapes" Berman from EnMasse (Tera) ?


    Well now he has joined the Archeage team and will be Trion's new CM for Archeage and Defiance.

    Trion confirms FTP AA coming in 2014


    http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/03...afted-items-a/


    Now that Archeage has a CM, Scapes has been busy talking to the community. He stated that Archage is coming out this year, will sell beta packages and they are going to hold off on patch 1.0 for awhile till it's more fleshed out. So (Fingers crossed) it sounds like a more hardcore version of AA like the Russian version.


    Scott Hartsman also talks about this in his interview with mmorpg.com

    Now I'm really exited !

    So Korea was a live game before it was v1.0? I have not been keeping up with this one at all...

    Recent korean mmo trend has been essentially "pay for beta while we finish the game", probably due to the boardroom. Then they wonder why they hemorrhage players and that they are so flakey. The JP had a similar thing going with FFXI launch, however that was probably more along the lines of ineptitude and ignorance.

    1.0 means the point in the lore/story not the version of the game, if you were wondering. Xl games seems to do stuff differently, which is confusing for the rest of us.

    1.0 was the major expansion that happened back on Jan. 2014, but almost all the players I know hate the expansion, due to the dailies. So the players I know are happy that Trion will be postponing the 1.0 expansion.

    Archeage went live in Korea on Jan 2013.

    - Fishing is in!
    - 1.0 is in Internal Test soon, then they decide which 1.0 stuff is in.
    - Trion will think about Labour Potions, from the cash shop, they will at least have CD. (12 Hours for now)

    I was interested in this game earlier on, but right now I am sick and tired of F2P either at release or right after release because the game has been designed to try and make everyone happy, yet makes no one happy. F2P makes the companies much more money but I never see any evidence that it allows them to make any more content or quality improvements to the games. Starting to think its time to stick a fork in the MMO genre as a whole.

    I 100% agree...and it is a shame. Ftp seems to be the only way to go, but the people out attracts. Awful

    $1 a month would be great just to weed out brs, kiddies, and any other cesspool that can't come up with a payment method.

    Trion has posted their FAQ :

    https://www.archeagegame.com/en/news...ions-archeage/

    In the FAQ, Trions talks about the payment method.


    - FTP players will be able to get LP and participate in events but won't be able to own land, build houses, or castles. But they can share public farms and join other guilds families.

    - Subscribers will be able to get the full features of the game.

    - Players who can't afford to subscribe can still buy a Patron Pass (Just like REX from Eve Online) using in game cash to get the full features of the game.


    **So it looks like FTP players will just get an unlimited free trail, if you want to experience the full game your gonna have to subscribe or buy a Patron Pass.

    They mentioned in yesterdays live stream the reason for limited FTP access, is so people don't shit out free account and fill the areas with farms for cheap, making it in impossible for other people to use it. How much that would actually be a problem, I don't know though... but I suspect there are probably better ways to deal with it.

    Meh imo it's more shocking that people will spend 40+ on BETA invites. At least this gives you ingame stuff lol. Granted I would never do it.

    It really looks good. The only thing that troubles me is that it seems a lot of the stuff runs client side, and there are tons of reports of blatant hacks. (Dayz style). Hopefully trion got their shit together.

    Considering it's a Korean MMO, where most gamers play at those PC Bang centers, it doesn't surprise me they have a lot running client side, nor would I be surprised if it's not changed, for state-side release.
