Trion is IMO one of the LAST western AAA devs who truly cares about mmos. Sure Rift wasnt revolutionary but it had arguably the best release and post release support for a long time. This is probably the best news ive heard in a long time.

I'm in agreement with a lot of the other folks here; TRION Worlds was a completely unexpected yet WONDERFUL surprise!
This just increased my anticipation factor by a numerical value that goes off the scales. AWESOME News!
I burned out a little on RIFT, but I cannot deny TRION's quality level and steady effort to churn out continuous SOLID content updates. ArcheAge will be in good hands.
NOW THIS is a hype train I can board. Trion, is a hard working, caring studio. They're content may not be interesting to me, but their quality and quantity of it in such a small time is outstanding. GREAT PICK.
This could be where Trion eventually end up making that mistake which will take them off the much loved list of MMO devs...
I feel Archeage will disappoint because of unrealistic expectations. I hope it doesn't though.
Could be?
There COULD BE a crap load of things that happen. There COULD BE a nuclear holocaust 2morrow. There COULD BE a giant meteor that hurls into the earth next week.
What kind negative thinking is that? Try being positive for once, so tired of the negativity on these boards........

well N Korea is planning another nuclear test... but anyway back on topic:)
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
great news indeed! I would love a factional pvp server thou, open world ganking, been there done that, can be fun but can be boring. Factional gives you that team effort and Sticking to your side pre-set defense. Easier to identify friend from foe, get a better community feeling even thou many guilds will form. Alliance will sprout allot easier and quicker. Make the battles more over conquest then just random ganks
I say Factional ftw and I am in bring it Trion, if anyone can do it, you can!

Yes, yes.. I said somehting you don't like. I obviously mean that I think there's a high chance it could happen and obviously you don't. Let's get over it shall we?
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
I hope Archeage is going to be a Descent Game. I'm so sick of playing this Dumbed down themepark crap. Someone was complaining about 30 levels of Tutorial? Sounds good to me because it will keep the childern, and adults who have the attention span of a Ground Hog out, and it will be just like EvE with a steep learning curve. We need to bring back more indepth MMO's, ones that require you to use your brain and not just sit there mindlessly clicking things.
Originally posted by vtravi Hmm 30 levels of tutorial. How many players are gonna quite before they get through the tutorial. I only need about an hour to figure out how a game works. This seems excessive
ITs not really a tutorial.. just think about those first 30 lvls being like your standard themepark MMO before it opens up into the sandbox game..
Anyway this is great news, im not a huge fan of trions games but they have always been solid developers and worked with their community. This is an awesome choice and a suprise..
Originally posted by winter A players can only have 3 abilities that seems pretty limited by todays standards. is crafting one or more of the abilities?
" In ArcheAge, even if you are in the same class, players can choose the skills they want to learn, and I think this would give originality to each character."
Sound to me like an ability is simply a skill-set.
Seems more like a system in rift. See the abilities as souls.

Yes thats great news. But I read further and found
"Trion will translate the title and make changes to suit Western audiences."
It was inevitable but naively wished it would come over as is....
But AA is already casual as it is once it comes to being on your home continent.
I guess they'll have a pve only server with some restrictions on it I guess, that's as "western" as you'll get.

I don't want a PvE only server. I want a server with faction only PvP instead of FFA. A server with no FFA.

Well said. With this team combo, I think I'd feel pretty comfortable with a Subscription model.
I really, really, REALLY hope they don't choose the scummy, scam-my "Free To Play" model... That would be a death sentence waiting to happen.
