Later this week, Korea's G-Star convention gets underway. To lay the foundation for his visit to Korea, MMORPG.com's Richard Aihoshi had the opportunity to connect with Sung Jin Hong, Executive Producer for Archlord X and Paul Doo, Archlord's Product Manager to chat about Archlord X. We've got an exclusive firsthand look at Archlord X through the eyes of the dev team. Check it out!

MMORPG.com: When did development of ArchLord X begin, and what is the current status? Why did you make the unusual decision to launch global service instead of starting with the domestic Korean version?

Sung Jin Hong: We started development of Archlord X in January of 2010. The development concept is to target Archlord global users who highly value and passionate about the game. Currently, we are working our hardest to launch in early 2012.

Most boring interiew ever. Is this game completely uninspired or does it just seem that way to me?  Additionally, those heads are way too small for their bodies.

Terrible game.

There are some things I like about it, but gender locks on creation - I hate.

It's combat is uninspired. Which is why I play any game.

Killing jelly cubes? What am I, 6 years old?

You can just see another Aion westernisation attempt coming up. These companies need to explore the western gamer mentality deeper before launching another "you can pvp/rvr" etc etc.

The most successful games over here have pve and pvp servers. Going just for pvp servers instantly knocks out a large percentage of the playerbase here, resulting in yet another asian minor game in the western market.

Korean grinders for the lose. Highly successfull, right. Strange enough that this thing isn't completely dead yet. Server merge, upon server merge, this is definitely not a game to start playing, unless you adore the grind for the grind. (Edit:typo)

Prelaunch Developer lols

Prelaunch -> Race based PVP woot yeh we are epic.

Postlaunch -> Race based PVE woot yeh we are epic.

archlord actually came out long before Aion.

I did enjoy Archlord when it first lauched for a bit.

Oh my GOD !

Is this a serious article. Someone is making yet another clone game but this time with added racial PvP! Wow that sounds so original. 

FFS developers can you not think of anything original at all now?

And FFS people that play games like Archlord. You must be mentally ill to play the same old game reskinned again and again and again.

Articles like this make me just dispair at the current crop of MMO developers. 

I was going to say I pity the reviewer who got handed this one, then I saw it was Richard.

Please stop buying theese games people. Obviously someone is buying theese games as the market is flooded with them....

Never played Archlord myself, but I like the Manga.

I'v just created this account to say to you , STAY THE FUCK OUT, game is ok, but dont waste ur money in webzen.

I played Archlord for 2 years but quit when Webzen took over :(

The game is typical but for some reason there are a lot of players in Archlord that are phenominal and make the game fun.

I remember a guidlies PC crashing and everyone in the guild sent him money to buy another computer lol .. never happened in any other game I have played for sure.

Great peeps .. lackluster game that tries to RAPE you in the item shop thanks to webzen.

Archlord was all about the player base. Most new-generation people won't understand as they pay monthly for games to walk through a themepark and have the game hold their hand. When Archlord first started out it was the clans and alliances that were constantly at war or holding dungeons that made the game fun.
