The RWP

I found it, guys. I found the best game ever. It is coming out before the end of 2014, a beautiful open-world sandbox MMORPG... it is free to play but you can pledge money now and be an honorary player or whatever. Look how cool the characters are! And if being a furry is your thing you can do that, too!

I'm pretty sure you can actually play this game right now if you buy the Founder's Pack, I think the alpha is out.

Let me tell you right now: "free to play" and "MMO" does not equal best game ever. I've played a lot of MMOs over the years, and the only F2P ones I've played that haven't become total garbage or shut-down were Runescape and Maplestory.
I can guarantee this: Land is only going to be owned by less than 1% of the players. Not only do you need to keep paying a subscription cost to be allowed to own land, there's a limited amount of it in the game and I'm sure there are a number of in-game resource requirements that will end up making land ownership only something active guilds can afford to do. And those stones and regent potions? Those scream cash-shop exclusive.

I'm not say the game is going to be shit, and I will play it with you guys if anyone is playing when it's public, but you should really think hard about it before you spend money on this. You're getting three months of subscription plus a handful of exclusive in-game items for $150. That is a lot of money to spend on one game, and if you aren't going put the time and effort forth to gain land and run a guild, that's all going down the drain because after those three months are up you'll have to pay again. Think of all the games you could buy for $150, and then think about all the temporary and limited use content you'll be getting for spending it here.
Trust me, I've made this mistake before. You think you're getting all kinds of sweet shit but really you're getting almost nothing. It's the worst kind of buyers remorse, don't let it happen to you.

Derek · #7 29th July 2014, 03:26 AM

Yeah, you're probably right. I'll most likely not own land and play it free to see how it is.

I'm DEFINITELY gonna play this. FIRRAN RACE REPRESENT

1. Dont worry about not having a glider to start with, You will get a quest at level 10-12 which gives you your first glider. Its completely free and isn’t even a hard quest.

2. If you’re going AFK to eat dinner don’t log-out you gain more Labour points while you’re in the game, These labour points are used for pretty much everything you do in the game which isn’t quests and PvP. You will need as many as you can for this CBT. Always AFK in a safe place.

3. If you see an Iron ore, Plants or a random tree which is ready to be chopped down DO IT Boats, Houses, Farms and Gliders all need supplies which cost a good amount of gold. Unlike other MMO’s “I’ll go back and do it later” isn’t the right attitude with Archeage you should take the time to Harvest whatever the circumstances.

4. Overachieve. Some quests can be overachieved this means doing more than the quests asks of you “Kill 10 Boars” If you kill 15 you’ll overachieve the quest which gives you more XP which is worth it in the long run, Just test if you can overachieve by doing the action an extra time.

5. Once you’ve completed the first zone you will get a quest from someone who’s exclamation mark has been replaced with a green plant, These are your crafting quests which are very important in Archeage, Read this text dialogue its useful, You’ll be learning about trade packs growing your own plants/trees and general crafting, try to get these done until you atleast have your donkey, But don’t waste all the CBT on these quests. They do take a while.

6. When a tree in the wild is ready to be chopped for wood it will have an Axe icon when moused over, If the tree has a spade icon you will not gain any wood from cutting the tree down and just receive the Sapling of the tree.

7. Building houses/farms/boats is not an easy task, Completing the main story line is the easiest way to get Gilda Stars which is the currency for buying blueprints for your construction. Blueprints can be bought from mirage island, Mirage island teleporters can be found multiple times in each zone. The other way to get Gilda Stars is by making cross-continent trade runs these can be time consuming and dangerous during CBT2 i suggest same continent trade runs for gold as you get enough Gilda Stars for basic boat and house by level 30.

8. Always look for illegal farms, Illegal farms are placed by people who can’t afford or don’t have enough room in their own farm these are usually placed on the outer-rim of each zone using in hidden cracks and hillsides, You can sometimes get a good amount of resources or profit finding these at the right time. Bare in mind stealing from farms gives you crime points which could land you in jail for a period of time. YES there is a real court which player juries and Yes there is a jail.

9. Families are a thing in Archeage now i don’t mean Brothers, Sisters, Daughters or sons but more like your group of friends in the real world you share things with them. The concept of sharing can be used in Archeage if you own a plot of land and one of your friends needs to plant some carrots if you set them to your “Family” they can use your land.

10. Experience the world that is Archeage no loading screens cross continent, Find a friend with a boat and travel across the open sea (Watch out for jellyfish) Or climb a big mountain and glide all the way down (They only last 3 minutes per use) Archeage is a beautiful game go experience it!

PVP Sidenote
Killing your own faction can happen this isnt your normal MMO each continent zones will go into war status at random times or will always be at war, These are shown by the red zones on the map. If you’re in one of these zone be aware that other players can kill you including enemy faction and you can kill other players by going into (Ctrl+F) which turns on the mode to kill your own faction. This is technically Murder you will gain crime points and be sent to jail if you accumulate 50 crime points.

Found this somewhere. Beta goes live in an hour or so, im hype.
