The game still has labor points. Trying to tell me the game is fun with such a mechanic is a complete waste of time. And they still have not addressed the pvp zerg. Sure the new servers won't have that problem initially, but it will come. The last time I had real fun in pvp was DAoC and that game was far from perfect. You would think that someone could come up with a decent pvp design. This games pvp certainly isn't.
If you played the game long enough then you would see the need for labor points and they actually make the game better.
I am the solo player who could make 1 gold per minute without a trade cart.
Sorry, but please explain how the most disliked feature in the game makes it bettter? I just beg to disagree. Those who don't craft probably are ambivalent, but the rest of us really detest the mechanic.
The trade system evolves around it. You spend labor to make packs and trade them for gold. Without the labor limit you can make packs all day and the market will be flooded with items. You would be able to farm all day and craft all day. The way it is right now you gotta think about spending those points and the best outcome. Otherwise you just spend 1k labor and made 10 gold. If you are smart you can get 100 gold out of 1k labor.
I'm not saying its the greatest system in the world but it works.
Actual numbers are not to scale.
I have played the game and know how it works. No matter how you try to defend it, it is the stupidest mechanic ever introduced in a MMO. The entire trade design is so broken as to be laughable. When you combine that with the broken pvp you end up with a pretty bad game which of course was not addressed one bit by the current patch. For a game that was supposed to be the next great thing, it is a very sad case of just bad design. Of course Trion has made a ton of money off it hence their reluctance to change anything until the player base dropped off.
What mmo have you seen where crafting can actually make money? Most every mmo I have played its cheaper to buy crafted items then it is to craft them. You are usually better off selling the materials. This labor system wasn't a bad idea to make crafting actually valuable. It didn't work of course because of the players.
Ahem, EVE actually, but of course not always or for everything, but crafters can definitely profit from their work.
When I playing DAOC back in the "dark ages" (funny pun eh?) I was one of the top Spell Crafters on my server and I made good money adding gems (stats) to people's gear.
Thing is, was pretty time consuming, and I just don't like crafting, I like killing stuff, so I didn't really do it for anyone outside of guild mates and friends.

How has your play on the Legacy servers been @BillMurphy ? How has it been working out so far? Have you been finding your footing? Please give this article an update and talk about how you've been doing. Did you play any today?
Indeed I have. Logged in every day since Sunday. Got my house built, my farming is going, hit level 36 and moved into the more contested zones for questing. I will say that the leveling/questing in the new zones is much better streamlined. They move you right through the story without a bunch of "kill this, collect that" side quests. Going back to the old zones has been disheartening, because they're just traditional MMO zones with tons of ?'s littered about.
Ollo is pretty empty too. Only 9 people reside in my home region of Airain (sp?) Rock. NINE. It's the brand new zones, so maybe people just don't care to live there unless they're on new servers. Faction chatter is pretty decently populated, but in the Moors I haven't had to worry about PK yet. I've only seen Nuians.
My goal right now is to keep leveling so I can see some of the new content I've missed since launch, and to get my house furnished, find a crafting niche, and build a boat.
There we go, that's the sort of info I was looking for, how the new content/zones are working out for you. I like the idea they are trying to remove the rote quest hubs the original launch had.
As you noted, Ollo is pretty empty, what will be interesting is how many return once the "newness" of the fresh start servers wears off so you can report on that for us

Then again, this site is about GAME discussion. Writing nothing but rants on server stability and launch issues doesnt really do justice to the GAME aspect of the GAME. Everyone knew the launch would be garbage. Not everyone however knew what the game had turned into over the past 2-3 years. Lets focus on substantive issues rather than get lost down the temporary rabbit hole of server hardware issues. My advice will also help lower your bloodpressure.
How is it a rant if it's true and honest journalism/reporting?
How many times has this happened to Trion & Archeage. Every. Single. Time.
What has Trion EVER done to rectify the ecosystems being wrecked by the launch ineptitude? Nothing.
Do issues like what the Fresh Start server is experiencing have long term effects, and undermines the purpose of "Fresh Start"? Yes.
How are these non-substantive issues and "temporary" rabbit hole when it's a common theme?
Put these on all you want, but the fact still remains that Archeage is in utter shambles... AGAIN. With no rollbacks on the land race... AGAIN. Which means they will more than likely repeat all their other past mistakes AGAIN.
Cant agree more, stay away from Archage like it is the plague...
They had their chance, now they will take their place next to Warhammer online...
I played when it first came out, but the community was toxic, the players were more about ganking their own faction and not about helping them against the other faction. It was really quite disgusting.
I join AA back when it first launch & I join at headstart I play for around 3 months that was my limit after all the p2w crap TRION put in the game, thousands of people quit even earlier than me whole guilds even, as some people have already said this game's progress is all about money, as long you have money you can buy the best gear in game & become a God pretty much, who are going to have the most money? those who keep on buying & selling APEX & other cash shop shit in auction ofc, in short there is no way to compete with wallet-warriors, also the game is f2p only on name, if you can't own land/build house without first subscribe & become a patron you are restricted to experience just half of the game.
So 1st words that the game is not p2w anymore are not true & those who are saying that don't know for what the fck they are talking about, 2nd the game is f2p on name only as a f2p player you cant own land you cant build a house your labor point will be less & the regeneration will be slower, in short as a f2p player you are handicapped in all fronts, 3rd TRION is a shitty/greedy company that deserve to go bankrupt, I would never ever play something they publish even if they are left the last MMORPG publisher in the West.
I just avoid all Trion games now. They have no interest in publishing fun games anymore, their only interest is how much money they can extract from their player base.
You say that, yet Trove and Atlas Reactor are arguably the exact opposite.
Fanboi much, people can't log in and you're blaming XL? Please.
I am almost a 3 year vet. I stopped playing about 2 months ago. Gave away just about everything i had. Did this on purpose just to see what it would be like as a new player!! Came back for 3.0 to find it very challenging to make gold even with a lvl 55 character.. No offence Trion - Wont be staying much longer. Do find the new races pretty cool to play, but cant do much with them with very little to almost no gold. To me these new features make it very difficult for a new player to remain interested in this game, and eventually Vets will get tired of the harder grind than before.
This game is about Greed. Who ever has more (patroned accounts), or as they are know as (Whales) gets more....
My suggestion to fix this: On my server everyone is a do it yourself kinda player. Guilds are gonna have to start working together to farm gold and help their members!!

I've always found it pretty easy to make gold in Archeage. I have about 2k gold and almost never run trade packs.

As it always should be. My first draw to AA was in alpha was with a well organized guild who had big plans at launch to work together to prosper.
Had it all figured until the early launch and hacking issues shredded the plan and everyone in guild walked away.
Doesn't sound like things would be any better this time around, at least on the fresh start servers.

I've been a member of MMORPG for over a dozen years. I've probably posted less than a handful of times. But reading this article, and upon suffering once again with TRION and this time with Archeage, I think your readers need to know that this launch is the worst I have ever experienced since I started gaming in Asheron's Call (RIP). That includes suffering with TRION in Rift and Defiance as well.
First -- the FRESH start was promoted as a way for new players to start on equal footing and not have to compete against uber geared up opponents, and play in a world where there was no land to stake.
Trion vastly underestimated the number of players who would be signing up which is incredulous since you could only play FRESH if you started a new account after Dec 10. So they had the numbers in front of them and added only a single second server. They now say they are at 600% capacity but there are still queue and d/c and grey and or black screens and at least 5 other common messages for why you are unable to play
Second -- there is no equal footing. Many players bought Patron for the aspect of being given priority for logging in but that wasn't set up initially. And some people used hacks and go-arounds to jump the queue altogether. Or they reconfigured their files to allow them to do so as well. This meant that there were soon people at level 55 and doing advanced content while others had yet to get in the game at all. Plus all the prime realty and locations were grabbed -- meaning there has never been a real equality.
Third - The gold farmers are just as devious and they have been able to multi-box and macro to allow then to jump the lines to get connected as soon as a restart happens -- and to stay AFK (as well as countless others doing the same). You can see "trains" of characters doing trade runs already; you can find as many as 50 characters at a time AFK in starting areas for hours at a time let alone where else they are squirrel away.
Fourth - The Free to Play accounts have now been shut out of any queue priority with teh best guess being 1 is let in for every 10 Patron -- but the posts suggest it is more like 1 to every 100. A Patron can reg8ularly start at 1750 in queue and move up 8 spots a minute. Where as a F2P can move 250 in 7 hours during day time work day hours -- and hav eno chance at all of getting in after a 10 hours wait in evenings or weekends.
The response is for F2P to go to one of the established servers -- which defeats entirely the aspect of "suggested" fair play and opportunity.
SO many NA players have started to play on the Euro FRESH server that now the Euro players are experiencing 2000+ queues.
AND THIS IS NOW 10 DAYS AFTER LAUNCH.
Trion's response is to give some free mount to everyone -- including those who were advantaged. As well as a few days Patron time which also benefits the line jumpers. There is nothing to spend the labor on since there are no trees to farm and the gold farmers or Guilds have all the mineral resources camped 24/7. As well -- even if you purchase some out of the way land with your 5 days of Patron, once it ends you can't pay for it or improve it or use it.
NO -- this has not been an acceptable or even somewhat successful launch. TRION has continued to add Seasonal content and Santa outfits while not solving login issues and connectivity problems. Their Community Relations departments say to send in tickets but the responses that are received and often screen shot for posting are generic and disregard the nature of the ticket. The times there are responses to forum posts, they are self serving and deprecating; dismissive and condescending. At one point Celestrata, the senior Manager actually suggested that they believed their servers were working well and they had no reason to consider needing to add any further servers.
There have been almost 1000 pages of posts about issues with the launch, servers, game play, and disengagement by TRION from their base. Almost a million views. TRION in reply has approximately 100 posts of value with most just linking suggested fixes; updates that are meaningless; or partial replies to only a fragment of a detailed post. TRION closes threads every day and some members have stated that their individual posts have been deleted.
Players/posters are getting warned and even banned over voicing discontent including one poster who set out how $10K was going away because his Guild of over 70 was now going to withdraw and cancel subscriptions.
The forums are rife with posts about people cancelling and demanding refunds. There are posts about litigation and suing for not delivering what was promised. There are repeated posts about contact with visa and Paypal about revoking transactions and fraudulent transactions.
So contrary to what the original post would want many to think -- TRION and this Archeage launch are not going well. Anyone thinking of jumping in would do themselves a favour and go and read the Archeage Forums to get a glimpse of how the community feels about TRION and make an informed decision.
Dont worry! I guess we'll soon be seeing another Scott Hartsman propaganda "interview" on this website again, in which he'll again spins all the launch failures into a success story. Plus a giveaway for a Trove or Rift ingame gimmick some week after. This usually happens after a major Trion f*up, mmorpg.com to the rescue providing a platform for Trion to PR damage control. Like the massive queues weren't because ONCE AGAIN trion was clueless and cheap on network structure, but because of the "incredible success of ArcheAge 3.0" and such.
Still can't find the game worth playing "New Races, and stuff sure its great" but...
. Labor Required for everything needs to be looked at.
. Allowing same faction griefing, and PK needs to be reverted as it was to begin with only dule with consent, unless doing Guild Vs Guild events but not an instant wardeck / fighting without a days notice / 1 hour times unless accepted by an officer of the guild.
. No wardrobe for the game cant store your costumes everywhere even when you have 20+ its insane it takes up inventory space.
. No crafting Material Storage like Guild Wars 2 since they added so much non stackable stuff to the game over the years.
Over-All I like the new race, and the new zones etc, but I just cant see myself brining back online several accounts spending hundreds of dollars a month on a game that is going to be unplayable because Trion makes these type of changes in expansions killing the game by changing key parts of the game "Froced same faction PVP, as well as not listening to customers.
You cannot enjoy this game if you try to play on a fresh start server. You also cannot really enjoy this game if you are not a patron. Legacy servers are the sweet spot right now and they have land everywhere.

But they still have the old Cash Shop, am I right?
They told me they don't plan to EVER bring them back. XL wanted them, they fought tooth and nail to remove them. They won, but you can still buy a 30 day labor stipend - 1 bound labor potion to your account per day, for 30 days. Basically just 30 labor potions for 1250 credits, but given out slowly as opposed to being purchasable and drinkable over and over.
So direct and limitless purchasable pots are gone, but the stipend remains. It's only 1,000 labor a day, but it's there.
The thunderstruck? They're gone, finito, permanently. In game only now.
Sorry Bill but need to call some bullshit on Trion's end. Either they were lying to you when they told you the above quote or they were lying when they posted this (post #6 by Scapes)
Anyone trying to defend Trion in this thread, you have to know that the rest of us are laughing at you for being such shills. The worst publisher out there just got worse. Congrats Trion for being such a complete loser!

Considering that despite being the worse publisher (hypothetically), they still have a ton of people trying to defend them, wouldn't that make Trion a complete winner? The losers in this case would be the ones paying Trion (unless they're enjoying themselves, of course)
I tried this game on 1.0 and 2.0 and didnt work.. but i have to say i love 3.0 so far and i am having sooooo much fun.... exploring, gathering, crafting, already have a hosue and a farm!! i am soo busy in this game i dont really care about questing for leveling since lv 30 at all (42atm)
High taxes for player who owns 3+ propeties helped a lot to reduce/ almost erradicate land lores at the start, now there is land for everyone and everyone can have fun. Maybe i will neve be the BEST geared powerfull as F2P player but i will have fun and thats the most important thing.

I will be the first to admit how bad they screwed up the first 2 years of this game. I was right there with the harshest criticism. You really need to take another look at this game they have finally made moves that make it worth playing again. I feel bad for the people who had to suffer through the past 2 years of crap. But right now its pretty cool.
