Nothing new but just to hype up open beta

Nice video, really sets ArcheAge apart from everything else. NA and EU release can't get here soon enough.

Torturing me

Really been looking forward to this one.

The game looks great.

Much more importantly, however, are the features. As opposed to the slight variations on the same theme/gameplay we've been getting from themeparks in the genre, AA looks like it will actually be different in a way that counts.

Still looking foward to this, though an NA release is still probably a year or two away.

It looks pretty damn good.

But remember everyone: No game these days is ever as good as the hype videos. Don't disappoint yourself by giving into hype before trying it yourself. Keep that excitement on the back burner.

I hope the game will be as refreshing as the videos indicate. I am so fed up with the "Standard MMO" form (SWTOR, WoW, GW,...)

Also hoping for the regular 15 USD / Month business model....and an early release ofc .

It is refreshing in the sense you feel unrestricted. It's still got tab combat system and gear system that we're used to which I personally have no problem with but there's a certain aspect that makes the game feel vintage. I remember at level 10 I stopped leveling and just ventured round the entire accessible world and joined up with friends and went sailing. You kind of drop the 'i need to level as fast as possible' mentality because the world is so huge, there is no scoreboard, no things you need to do first (except maybe securing a plot of land for a house), there's going to be so many clans all doing different things it'll make for a diverse game world.

What I find important is the developers have stated that they want players to have things to do at max level, they want to work on the activites to keep people interested rather than spend remaining time on maybe diverse quests at low levels. I mean obviously it would be nice if an MMO could be launched with all the features we can think of but it seems to take so long.

Looks good but it is another one of those "actual footage" type of videos that is never seen in game.

How often have you seen a PC walk. . or emote while chopping a tree. All of this with the HUD removed and no floaty names.

I wish people played like this but add hotbars etc and speed all the movement up by about 4X etc .and that is what the game will look like. . still good though I am looking forward to trying this game out.

Great vid. Makes me wonder how big the client will be and what the hardware requirements are. Tons of artwork.

We just have to be patient people. Finally a real mmo!

Just 18GB for OBT, the textures have been "optimized" as XLgames said. Hardware specs nothing special, for example CBT5 on my 4CoreCPU, 260GTX, 6GB RAM was running smoother than GW2.

looks great, i wonder what people can do with polygons

So what is different in ArcheAge ?

It looks like Conan's age of the Rings and we had a church in AO 10 years ago already.

What is really different to the mainstream in ArcheAge ?

wutae · December 2012

you all are losing the main point, this is a sandbox, but more than sandbox it's a pvp game, in all pvp games, there was always sthing that companies failed to do, and that was rewarding pvpers. DAoC had rps, WoW at begin had a hardcorefarming with awesome gear "vanilla" but all other games FAILED to make pvpers stay and keep doing pvp,, what AA does ? Anyone can answer on this question plx?
