ArcheAge – Merv ‘Khrolan’ Lee Kwai Takes to the AA Forum to Reassure the Community

ArcheAge Senior Producer Merv “Khrolan” Lee Kwai has taken to the game’s official forums to reassure the community.

More will be shared “as soon as possible”.

MKK TV shows off what high-level Primal Rage sets look like

Though I try to keep myself as informed about as wide a range of fighting games as possible, I must lead with an admission: I have spent my whole life ignorant of the mechanics of Atari’s Primal Rage. This arcade relic has bizarre anti-piracy measures that make it difficult to emulate, and with Atari themselves long abandoning the series, this (at the time) commercial success seemed to be lost in history.

MKK TV’s long sets above shows off the combos, footsies, and high octane pace of PR matches thanks to its movement speed and DarkStalkers-like chains.
