Originally posted by DMKano From what I hear both XL and Trion have commited a LOT of efforts to get AA launched this year.
Trion already had to fire 1/3 of the staff of their only launched game because they spread themselves too thin. Trion is the best in the business at medum budget marketing which is great news for ArcheAge, but next to zero resources should be used on anything to do with the game itself until they get their other games under control. EoN is a mess, Defiance looks to be mediocre and with hartsman and a significant chunk of the veteran staff gone Rift's future is very uncertain.
While i myself don't like Rift for what it is. (A shallow instance Tier item & Instance grinder), as a Publisher Trion did good.
There have been News Banner all over big gaming sites and adds in magazines. I could buy game boxes even in a local grocery here.
A solid choice from XLGames.
Exactly this is why Trion gets the job. They advertise, and are masters of spin/PR.
If only SoE advertised like Trion does, because Archeage would be a nice addition to the station pass. But Trion is the better choice because they know how to market, SoE is so clueless on that end.
