if im reading things right it seems AA has all the features american and EU developers have been pising on for years, but the community has been asking for, especially since this new anti-WoW clone sentiment has been growing. Short of stopping it from being published here, what is americas answer to archage? |

I believe the president of the GW2 motorcycle club wants a word with you. I'm so broke. I can't even pay attention. |

Doomed? No. There's alot of different tastes, so that's that.
Will AA have some features that will be a hit with alot of people? Sure. |

Before I make my decision on AA.....I will need to see that it has all the features actually working and in the game. I will say that I'm very intrigued by the game and hope that it will find a NA publisher. It's the next "big one" out there for me. President of The Marvelously Meowhead Fan Club |

DOOMED!!! Doomed i say! Hahahah Thanks for the joke op, the title of this thread is just tooo funny for words. Its doubtfull archage will even sell as well as D3 or GW2. Still keep your dream alive every MMO needs its Fanbois, and the humerous threads are good for a laugh.
Doomed! we are all Doomed i say there will be only one MMO Archage! hahahah |

Originally posted by winter Dude just try to keep your dignity for christ sakes. To the OP, it is titles of threads like yours that support the war here on the forums. It is ok that you are happy with the features list, but you should just leave other games out of it. Do not take it as an insult, more like an advice if something. Regarding the features that ArcheAge offers, I think that it has potential to be the next big MMO. I have been waiting for a game like this for a long time. Hopefully, the features work as they are supposed to and the game lands in a polished state. The depth of building, crafting, creating promises a long run :)

As long as AA can deliver everything offered in a perfectly translated Western version and be supported by the company chosen over here, I think AA will do very well. If a Western company could do something similar to this, it would attract millions of players IMHO, simply because it would give everyone so many options to play how they wanted to play and therefore cover a much wider market. For me, AA is looking like it will be the closest AAA MMORPG to come close to UO, yet on a modern game engine. I hope to see many more games like it being released int he future. |

As Kilsin stated above it all depends on how well the material is presented- case in point: for me personally the list of features available in EQ2 should have sealed it as everything I desire in a MMORPG, however the aesthetics and feel of the combat don't appeal to me at all (I've tried it four times now because I really want to like it) so despite the features, it's the presentation that ruins it for me. |

Originally posted by coretex666 OP is asking a legitimate question though... If AA delivers and sets a new standard, other MMO companies will have to lift their game to compete or risk being left behind, this will be awesome for gamers if AA does well. It will show these half arsed F2P companies that we no longer support their cheap throw together MMOs that lead us down scripted paths and will instead start throwing our hard earned money at companies who create games like AA, that cater to a much wider range of players and give us more bang for our buck, so to speak. If they pull it off...if not, we will be stuck with this current garbage for a long time to come. I just hope they can nail the Western translation or it will kill it for me. |

Originally posted by Orphes And let the Gw2 motorcycle club meet the moder fkin Cookie Monster son. He doesn't stand a chance. ArcheAge is what the MMO genre needs. Its bringing the virtual world back, not the railed system that keeps getting more rails as of late. ArcheAge has a little something for everyone. Player housing that actively affects the world. Being able to create a real farmhouse/village/city/town/castle/port/port city etc. Yes all the features are working as of CBT4. This is the guy that brought us Lineage (jake song) He is the reason Sieges are a big thing. He brought us one of the most popular games out for a very long time. I do believe its stillt he 2nd or 3rd most popular MMO in Korea, behind L2.
Ship crafting/ship warfare exploring with no loading screens Active Jailing system, so PK's can't do it without any consequence. Questing with some pretty cool features (You can pick up quests you like and overcomplete them for additional rewards 25/15, 20/10 etc. Or you can undercomplete them and get a reward equivalent to the undercompletion 5/12, 6/15 etc.) CryEngine 3 so its going to look extremely good They are working on adding in weather affects. Cities in the middle of the ocean/under the ocean (you can create) Gliders Emphasis on world feel with active travel (carriages, airships, paying for passage from a player with a ship) Teleports are expensive for a reason, they dont want you do dumb down the world they created Player created factions along with the guild feature (so more then one guild could be apart of a full on player created faction) create an Empire. Did I mention Sieging? A class (Ability) System with over 1000 different combinations. (way more indepth then TSW's Ability wheel)
The only downside to this game is it is coming out of Korea, so it might not appeal to a wider western market. But that being said the art style is not what you would normally see out of Korea, so that might not be that much of a problem.
"In the immediate future, we have this one, and then we’ve got another one that is actually going to be – so we’re going to have, what we want to do, is in January, what we’re targeting to do, this may or may not happen, so you can’t hold me to it. But what we’re targeting to do, is have a fun anniversary to the Ilum shenanigans that happened. An alien race might invade, and they might crash into Ilum and there might be some new activities that happen on the planet." ~Gabe Amatangelo |

As if you put GW2 in the same sentance as D3. GW2 is a very good game, D3 medicore at best. D3 sold millions upon million of copies, GW2 will be lucky to sell a quarter of that number. And lastly, neither of the two games are sandboxes, so what do they have to do with ArcheAge? It's like comparing Justin Bieber to Mumford and Sons, one outsells the other by a large number, but that doesn't mean they are better or should be compared, as they are both very different types of music. Sometimes I cannot stand themepark fangurls, and in this case GW2 fangurls.
On topic though; ArcheAge will become the biggest sandbox, and a lot of people who have never tried sandboxes before will move over to it, it will do something amazing for the sandbox genre, and maybe even impact the themepark genre in some ways. |

Originally posted by Vunak23 my first impression, gut reaction say, was to laugh and think, well how often have we heard all this before.. but.. it does sound interesting, despite the references to 'lineage' maybe Archage will achieve what Aion was unable to do, and actually succeed in the west.. its about time sandbox games were taken more seriously. |

Originally posted by winter Because the sales of D3 and other games pretty much tell you how good the game is. Is this correct?
Anyway, I'm waiting on ArcheAge and The Repopulation. No themeparks for me..so..I'll be playing Planetside 2 until something along those lines come along. Some people might be suprised at all the sandbox players once they actually make a funded one that doesn't just shit on everything.
If a Western dev would take the ideas of ArcheAge or many other sandbox (remove the FFA PvP, keep guildvsguild ffa), make it post-apoc, add zombies, they would sell millions. |

And I also believe zombies are just the latest trend, we'll move on to something new soon, I've got a feeling it'll be aliens again.
Point I'm making is, instead of making a game with what's popular today, they should make a game with something that's been popular for a long time, something that's proven itself time and time again. To be honest though only fantasy and sci-fi-opera are the only two that have lasted for so long that I can think of.
Multi-verse could work, lots of different genres in one game, that's why I'm looking forward to Otherland, which so far has blown me away.
But ArcheAge is fantasy, which has a loyal fanbase and most people like that setting, so it will do very well if it lives up to even some of it's hype. |

I'm watching AA. I'm not interested in any other MMO to date, and I'm a bit worried that AA will be too much Themepark inside that Sandbox. But it has a boatload of good ideas. I think it'll be a big success over here just because it does have so much Sand content. I hope to see it released here in America, and I'll probably play it barring any heavy Themeparkiness yet undisclosed. Once upon a time.... |
