A few days ago Trion Worlds announced that ArcheAge’s beta events would be delayed by a couple weeks in order to incorporate Patch 1.2, a collection of content, balance and feature tweaks. What does this update change and why is it so important to ArcheAge’s success in Trion’s territories? For answers to those questions, rewind the ArcheAge timeline one year.

It's a Korean light novel that's been fan-translated. At times it's difficult to read, but I'm not-so-secretly hoping it gets translated officially some day. You can read it here: http://www.royalroadl.com/table-of-content/

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed.

We must enhance our security. :^)
For reals though: if I was shilling for Trion, I would probably have a job there already.

And yes, I did just create an account just to clarify that.
Thanks, I'll get it corrected.

Nice Article Mark.
Im one of those who didnt like the Trion changing plans, and even suspect them.
Going to take your word (and other posters around) that launching beta with 1.2 was the best decision and will provide a better experience to players.
Ya obviously there is a bit more to do then convert 70,000 words but really not a lot. The programing is all in place, testing done. Now 70,000 words may sound like a lot buts its not even half a standard novel and considering you can probably use translation software then go back and correct the errors this could be done by a single motivated person in 1 or 2.

This patch is a disaster. It completely reworked everything to be more dependent on cash shopping and brought in much hated aspects from every other MMO we were trying to get away from. Special pvp gear with toughness and resilience? Really? I'm done with this game and moving on.
Trion used this fake alpha to sell founders packs for a game most of the founders now despise. Shady as hell to even call this a sandbox game at this point. Trion is desperately trying to hide the negative things about this game because it has nothing else that is making them any money.
I came into the Alpha late so this is the first time of having the opportunity of owning land in a non Hostile zone so I am loving it. My favorite aspect is basing your land tax off your LP, keeps players from being too greedy, Gold comes easy in this game so it was not an issue for seasoned players to have 4 small farm plots, a large farm and large farm house. Now you have to make some hard choices. What do you want to spend those labor points on boys and girls ? Houses or crafting?
Just got my large farm scarecrow and I am looking hard at whether I want to keep my small house and do some crafting or keep all my farmland and do the trade and supply route. One thing is for certain you won't see acres and acres of small farm scarecrows sitting on empty lots littering the housing areas now
