Everyone has a fighting chance
The ArcheAge site has been updated with a brief look at two of the new zones that will arrive with the Dead Prophecies update scheduled to hit live service in the very near future. Both the Golden Ruins and Mistmerrow are detailed in the new blog post.
A post on the ArcheAge forums continues, or hopefully ends, the controversy created last week with a gift sent out to former players. "Return to ArcheAge" packages included several RNG boxes, potions and Library access scrolls. However, several random boxes also included the $100 "Secrets Pack" and the Cynafin Dolphin which gave its name to the issue now known as "Dolphingate". Players loudly decried the move. Trion has subsequently admitted the error in judgment and is making good with players.
Trion is under fire from some quarters of the ArcheAge community for gift packages sent out to former players in an effort to get them back into the game. The "Return to ArcheAge" gifts included several RNG boxes, potions and Library access scrolls. However, several random boxes also included the $100 "Secrets Pack" and the Cynafin Dolphin which gave its name to the kerfuffle now known as "Dolphingate".
Trion Worlds is ready to unleash Secrets of Ayanad on ArcheAge live servers. The update brings a level cap increase, the Diamond Shores location, the Ayanad Library and more into the game. To celebrate the big update, Trion has released a new trailer. Check it out!
The ArcheAge team has posted a developer diary to give players a look at obsidian weapons that will be arriving in game with the release of the Secrets of Ayanad update. Players will be able to craft their own obsidian weapons, the how-to of which will be revealed in a series of quests to get the first one made.
MMORPG.com is very pleased to present this exclusive sweepstakes event! We have partnered with Trion Worlds to give away 10 Silver Starter Packs ($49.99 value) and ONE grand prize of a an Archeum Starter Pack ($149.99 value)!
In an effort to give high-level players more areas in which to level, Trion Worlds will be introducing the Diamond Shores to ArcheAge as well as altering the level of monsters in other areas. The site has been updated with a preview of the Diamond Shores with a small bit of background and a fairly precise location with instructions how to get there.
After ArcheAge’s big launch, controversy, and eventual settling down into its own niche, folks may be wondering where the game is headed in 2015. Good thing that we sat down with Trion’s Mervin Lee Kwai, Producer on ArcheAge to chat about precisely that…
Merv Lee Kwai has taken to the ArcheAge forums to give players a preview about what they can expect to see headed into the game in 2015. Many of the changes seek to address the most common concerns voiced by players over the months since launch. Among other things, the team will be working to balance the economy and rising inflation, making sure players receive better loot for harder work and more.
The latest patch notes for ArcheAge have been posted and give players a heads up that February is ‘gearing up’ month. A series of in-game events will launch that will help players increase skill levels and attain new gear in preparation for the level 55 level cap increase that will arrive in a future update.
