Raised in a State famous for a Land Run, Red Thomas is the ideal guy to give his thoughts on ArcheAge: Unchained as the game stands now. Red talks about the differences he’s noticed in the game since the initial release to Western audiences and what that might mean to those still on the fence about getting jumping in.

    i fall in this scam game...
    ok, i was alerted by more than one ppl here...

    now the main issue is EXPLOIT! after they "disabled" archeage, some found it was just the UI and not the archepass itself ... so what? look at reddit and others sites about how to modify a .DLL and get it back

    on my server, tons of low level sell hundred of coins (you can recreate a alt without the 7days wait if you dont hit lvl 30)

    no ban for exploiters, nothing coming from gamigo or XL, population halved (if not more) on my EU server

    that's a blast!

    so running for land? no need! lot of space avalable 2 weeks after the land rush cause of lack of taxes and ppl quitting already

    I didn't play the Trion release due to reasons, but I have been playing the Unchained version. It's heartbreaking to see a game with so many great features being ruined by poor business management. Really very unfortunate.

    Edit: spelling

    If you want to play a decent korean mmorpg thats not P2W check out Lost Ark Online. The Russian open beta just started last weekend, it is an soft-launch so there wont be any wipes. Lost Ark has way more content than Archeage and is less grindy. Only downside you need a russian VPN to be able to play and the language is in russian but you can play in english with an english patch.

    I'd still prefer to play AA 1.0 again, with all the wonders and pains that it had.

    You dont need a "Russian VPN" - unless this is just bad wording.

    You just need a VPN that sources your IP from Russia, but the VPN services doesnt have to be owned by Russians.
    Seems like a lot of effort to save pennies ...

    Red mentioned land being more available in the east.  I now recall back in NA Alpha/Beta and even post launch reading it was still true, population usually was unbalanced with west over east and am thinking its happening again this time.

    I also remember some said it made playing east a bit more miserable but those who enjoy the challenge of being an underdog usually were OK with it.

    I went to OK State.  =)    Though, the wife went to OU, so I'm sure she'll be cheering you.  =)

    I wish we'd have rolled East, but too late now.  It could be a natural Western bias, but I suspect it may be a streamer on our server pulling an undue number of folks to one side.   That may or may not be it, just a suspicion.

    Either way, I've enjoyed the PvE up to this point enough that I feel it was worth the entry price to me.  That's probably why some of the current problems haven't bothered me much.  I don't normally care a whole lot if folks cheat their way into extra cash or whatever, just as long as it doesn't impact me directly somehow.  Now, if I couldn't get land because of it or something, then I might be more frustrated.    As it is...  I don't really care if other people cheat their own experience in the game.   Even if they win in PvP, they cheated to do it and it's not going to bother me as much as I does some others.

    It's probably that I'm a business guy by day.  Lots of companies have unfair advantages over me.  It's just the way the world works and it'll never change.  I don't really care how well other people do, because I have no control over that.  I just care about how well I do and how successful I am at meeting my own goals.  That tends to bleed over into games a bit, I think.

    The very existence of a land rush seems like a very bad thing for people who aren't there on launch day.  Would someone who picks up the game a few months from now be consigned to forever have inferior land plots?  Or is it the sort of thing where even if you didn't get your first choice of an exact location, there are a ton of others available that are just as good, like in A Tale in the Desert?

    As of now, it doesn't look like it'll be a major issue.  I'll know better after the weekend when we see how many plots become available, but even mid-week, I was finding free spaces.

    They're not all equal, but all have value.  For instance, Temperate climates are probably better early on because you need to grow so many trees and Pine trees are arguably the best option for a number of reasons, but there are still trees you can grow in all other climates.  In fact, I think all plants/animals can be farmed/raised in all climates, just that they mature faster in the right climate.   Other climates become more important later on, though.  You start needing more exotic resources that grow better in those other climes, so I think it probably shakes out in the end.

    I think it's about like anything else in life.  There are choices that seem clearly better, but even if you end up with something else, there'll be reasons for why it might be pretty good, too.    If you choose to be mad, you'll be mad.   If you're open to the advantages, you'll find some pretty solid advantages.     Military folks who get Korea for their first tour will know exactly what I'm talking about.  =)
