a good 45 minutes in the reading and watching some clips, a good reading i must add!
surgical preview (of a closed beta) if i must say
Schedualed conflict for 2 hours on the weekend ! Thats disappointing. (yes I know its beta....but thats the way the game is TODAY).
amazing article
I really do wonder why it's taking so long to find a Western publisher. They already have Chinese and Russian publishers. Maybe, they're low on resources and want to release their own game before designating a team to work on another?
Wow, I didn't know about Russian publisher! DAYMN, so I don't need to learn Korean after all :P
I'm Serbian and Russian isn't so tough to learn for me, thank you PsychoPigeon, great news to me
Oh and care to point me to a link for that info?
NEW IDEAS that can refresh the STALE state of MMORPGs
Well I've just been seeing lots of Russian videos of ArcheAge so I assumed they had a publisher already.

Me likes..
Good God ... a Baraka and a Castanic had a kid
shame about sieges being limited to 50v50 (or even 100v100) that is a massive massive let down for me.. The more details abotu this game that come out the more it turns me off a bit..
Still a long way to go yet.
Yeah, seems their has been some cross breeding,damn he looks good.
I can honestly say that i will leave GW2 once this game comes out in Europe.
Think they really have given the dwarfs that western feel,this could come from any western MMO.
And then the new eastern themed humans..
Hariharans
Apprently the Haritharans humans and the more western Nuians humans hate each others gut,what for know one knows yet.
great detailed review of a beta, thanks for sharing
can't wait for this game
I am not sure what the cause of the war is/was, have to finish reading the Lore translated over on AA Roleplay site. http://www.archeageroleplay.com/ It might be mentioned in there. I do recall reading, no reference at the moment, something about the two sides being Nature vs. Technology, but cannot cite it.
As to the factions, it is believed the races will fall out as Nuian (western Human), Elves, Dwarves, Fairy, with a Capital city that is western themed, Marianople. Some one pointed out that the Elf names are based on Greek, and the Nuian on latin(?).

And on the other side, Hariharan (western human), Ferres, Returned and Warborn. With an Asian themed Capital city, Pipa Port.

Pipa Port wins for me,just the ambiance and look of the city is enough to enthrall me.
I've looked everywhere but NO ONE has extracted the music files and uploaded them. GRRR
there are a few music videos on youtube

and many more on the right tab you can find
I just hope which ever english publishing deal it gets doesn't lead to a simple westernized version of this, with triple xp and linear quest paths full of low brow pop culture references thrown in to appeal to the more generic mainstream crowd.
I hope we get to play what we see here in these videos, that's the game I've been wanting to play.
^ this ^
The scenic vids in the write up look fkin awsome, the sunrise and day night time lapse pretty damn nice.

LOL@ Pigeon. Was looking at those theams for AA on you tube and your on every one saying best game ever!!!!
I hope your right about it. im tired of looking for a good MMo i can emerce myself in.
What can I say? I like to hype myself up for every game just so I can wallow in my own disappointment.
But seriously, everyone that's played it so far has said it's an amazing game and the fact XL Games have real beta tests show they want to get it right. It's kind of what I wanted Darkfall to be, I'm not bothered by the combat I just want that old clan rivalry back and ingame politics.
yeah an 80+ day cbt4? that seems to be the right way to do things. iron out the bugs and whatnot.
They extended the CBT4 until March 11 to allow further testing and development of the Siege system. Much rather they take their time and actually test in the betas, rather than making people pay to test the broken crap they were supposed to be testing.
Ooo, and underwater play... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL3hL63OEkI
Awesome vid. i didnt know under water action was like that. useing balloons to bring sunken chests to the surface is just an awesome idea.
