I haven't been on the site in a while, and I noticed that ArcheAge has dropped noticeibly on the game list. I was looking forward to its release, and I thought a lot of others were, too. What happened?
What? There was no push back since there was never a date for CBT4 announced in first place. When they will be ready with new systems and content for CBT4 then they will announce and do it. Exactly same way like it was with previous CBT's.
[mod edit] Both those games make me laugh,i don't have to trial either game,as i have already seen enough to know they are both very weak games.
I will not go on a limb and say AA will be much either,but it at least it does deserve some hype.Neither GW2 with it's fake events nor swtor with it's voice overs are worthy of much notice.IMO SWTOR is as i expected from Bioware a single player design with a mmo tag on it.IMO there would never be a gw2 if people had to sub to gw1,it would have never been given any recognition.
The future does not look bright as Blizzard makes simpleton games,Soe is going cash shop all the way,Square Enix has lost their touch/direction,not many big guys left to hope for a solid mmorpg project to surface.I feel sorry for Schilling's game,i imagine it will be more of the same old and by that time ,people will be really sick of it.
Perhaps Archeage and Asian developers are our future,they are slowly catching up while N.amerk devs are moving backwards in the wrong direction.
I hope Archeage is not rushed and is done on an above average scale,we need this game to encourage other Asian devs and to change the current trends.If i can give AA a 6/10 that is a good thing,i hope i can.My favourite game was FFXI,i once gave that a 6.5/7/10.All the other mmorpg's i give 5-6/10 at best.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
I will buy SWTOR. I probably won't get GWII. I will buy Secret World. If ArcheAge comes out, I will get that one. Which one will I play long term...who knows. I am betting on Archeage. I love sandboxes.
Currently Play: ? Occasionally Play: Champions, Pirates of the Burning Sea, WOW, EVE ONLINE

Wizardry why the heck do you have to insult people? If you find the games weak then that's your prerogative and more power to you. But just because someone embraces something that you dont' like doesn't make them sheep any more than it makes you a sheep for following archeage and jumping on its own bandwagon.
That statement can cut both ways you know.
Personally I hope ArcheAge does well, it seems to lean more towards "one" type of game I enjoy. But that doesn't mean that someone is something lesser because they follow and enjoy a game that might have more mainstream appeal.
Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."

Video games do not determine personal characteristics. A lot of people do follow the flock but i dont think video games have as much impact on society as music does. Music can cause a revolution in thinking or not thinking.. games are just entertainment

Well games did have revolution that changes the world.
With the inroduction of mobile platforming gaming, the market for games have increased expotentially, I think Zynga already has a higher revenue than EA due to microtransaction, and this was only one the last 4-5 years. (not complete sure about this, heard it from a recent game developer lecture at uni)
How much WoW could a WoWhater hate, if a WoWhater could hate WoW? As much WoW as a WoWhater would, if a WoWhater could hate WoW.
I haven't been on the site in a while, and I noticed that ArcheAge has dropped noticeibly on the game list. I was looking forward to its release, and I thought a lot of others were, too. What happened?
I wondered about the same thing.
It IS kind of strange and I don't think it is due to fans of other games rating ArchAge down. The influence of people doing that is consistent throughout a game's hype meter history. This is a very sudden and big drop. Most of the time that's due to specific, game related bad news.
But there is no bad news at this time in ArchAge's case. It might be manipulation.

This seems to be the case,i mean look what Snail Games of China are going to unleash on us.
The game is apparently over 40,000 square kilometers, 40 times the size of World of Warcraft. In this huge open world, there will be 10 races separated into 2 factions. Of course, these races will be available for players to choose. They include humans, elves, beastmen, dwarves, fairies, demons, dragons and more.
When players create a character, the system will generate an unique growth path for them. All players will get to try out the various battle and life classes at first in order to allow them to choose a class most suited for them to progress. Eventually, a well-trained character will be a sword-wielding warrior who is able to throw fireballs in the middle of battle!
Other than the battle classes, there will be a variety of life classes for players to play as. Having your own shop (like a real actual shop space), going on a trade expedition, a skilled blacksmith, a world-renown herbalist, a wandering storyteller, a knowledgeable historian, a dragon trainer (gasp!)... All these and more is possible in Darkness and Light! These unique classes will cater for players who are not so much into battles.
When players eventually gain a huge amount of honor and recognition, the kingdom will bestow him with a title and a piece of land. With the piece of land, players can build a grand castle from scratch, eventually turning the areas around it into a town! If the player is lucky, there will be a time where a gold mine is discovered in the mountains within his territory, which can be farmed by the citizens of the town.
There will be an active and live weather change system. Snow, fog, sunny, rain, hailstorm... all these will have an effect on the world. For example, if a snowstorm suddenly strikes, trading markets in town will close shop early. When players use a massive AOE ice skill during such a time, a mega blizzard will be formed!
The transportation system will be one to look out for as well. In such a big open world, it is not possible to move around just by using a pair of legs! There will be flying transportation like tamed dragons, personal gliders (what?!), parachutes and of course, normal mounts and even a personal dragon.
All players will be within the same server. Other than just plain grinding for experience points, activities like taking part in political campaigns and even trading will nab players with points.
AA has dropped in the ranking for one reason....the GW2 fanboys.
every single game on the list has gone down over 10 points at the minimum with GW2 actually gaining 2 pts at one time this week. now GW2 is back down to the 8.73 it was when the fanboys made their assault on every other game.
AA itself has dropped over .25 pts with ZERO info coming out about it. nothing bad, nothing good. AA was the only game to make a semi rebound from the GW2 assault as it climbed back up a few points before being hammered to death the last few days.
speaks volumes(atleast to me) as to what the GW2 community will be like
and this assault the past 2 weeks is not the first time the GW2 tards have done this
Last I read there was uncertainty over the pvp and loot system. Some say its FFA full loot and others say theres factions and server types.
Combine that with it still being in development as well as needing extra time for english localization, youre probably looking at at least another year and a half before it is released in the states and parts of europe.
There is NO full loot, there will be NO any loot in ArcheAge. It is confirmed. PvP will be about RvR and teritorial control not about looting corpses.
Yeah ArcheAge is west imho no earlier than Q4 2012.
This is because , game is still in closed betas in Korea (one more closed beta propably) + then open betas and finally release , not earlier than Q1 2012. So add time for translation , marketting ,etc - so a year from now for this game to appear in NA / EU.
This might not be too bad. Game will be more polished with some starter bugs patched out ,etc
Still it really has potential , much things to do , big open world and georgeus grahics
One more thing. Do NOT be mistaken , ArcheAge is made for casual players as well , do NOT expect some hardcore game like UO or Darkfall ,etc - game will be much much more casual.
After I got caught up with what little news there was about it, I began to wonder if it was some of the features that turned people off. I knew that the main following was people that tire of the WoW formula (I'm the same). It was a little vexing to see a yellow question mark.
I haven't been on the site in a while, and I noticed that ArcheAge has dropped noticeibly on the game list. I was looking forward to its release, and I thought a lot of others were, too. What happened?
People have just been trying to drop the rating that is all. Besides the hype rating on this website is a total joke. Only 664 people have done a hype. I wouldn't go by that. Trust me there are a ton of people who are interested in this game that the hype from one website doesn't matter. GW2 hype is from 2606 people hyping it.
Anyways the lower the number ofvotes on the hype the faster it drops. It was at 8.3 with 640 people. The other 20+ people it has gone down. I don't go by hype of a game on this website it is misleading. I go by what I like and I like Archeage. I don't care if this game gets taken off the list from a ton of bad hypes. I am still going to play because it interests me.

It's just for the beginning of the game and to give a direction to the player early on. The game is not like that they've said it numerous times in the interviews and the hype drop has probably little to do with it as it was known for quite some time.
Comments
To few new informations and a long time till it comes out. Wait until we get more infos than the hype gonna get up again.
Link?
Afaik it had not been canceled.
Cancelled
Pushed back indefinitely

Regarding this game in the making.. Darkness and Light - my god.. how long will it take their developers to make and fine tune this game?
It does look pretty though.. hope it doesn't end up on the cutting floor or that they take so long to make it people forget about it.
One way or the other, it does make me go WOW!
"Huntress"
I admit, it's fallen on my radar mostly due to the lack of info.
It's been in development since 2005.
