Gameplayīlank Check. As one of four races in the game, you are given near carte blanche access to this sandbox world, allowing you to do nearly anything and everything you can imagine. Want to build a trebuchet and take down another player’s castle? Become a pirate? Escape from jail after being judging guilty by your peers? ArcheAge lets you decide what path you will take, and you can make changes at any point. If you want to be a farmer and focus on farming the land, you can do that.
You will start from one of two different continents, Nuia or Harihara, after you make your choice of one of four different races: Nuian, the warriors Elf, graceful forest folk Hariharan, the workers and farmers Ferre, the cat-like nomads who seek adventure.įrom there you can combine 10 ability trees and over 120 different classes, giving you a ton of different options. MMORLY? This brand-new MMORPG has a very loose storyline, as the emphasis in this game is on whatever you want to make out of it. We don’t tend to use the word “breathtaking” that often with MMOs, but it certainly applies here. The game is out now in Korea, and due in North America in the near future from Trion Worlds. That’s what Jake Song and XL Games have done with ArcheAge. Song was one of the creators of the NCSoft hit Lineage, although he left that company in 2003 to found XL Games which began development on ArcheAge back in 2006.
So how do you stand out in this realm? One way is by making a completely gorgeous game. Blizzard has been facing dwindling numbers as World of Warcraft has begun to show its age, and new titles like Guild Wars 2 and the upcoming The Elder Scrolls Online are all fighting for a chunk of that MMO pie. These games require massive amounts of time, energy, and money to develop their worlds, and once that is done, you face the daunting task of telling people about your title and getting some traction in a sea of other MMOs and video games. Right now, it’s a hard time to envy the life of an MMO developer.
