Play ArcheAge for freeArcheAge’s 4.5 update is going live tonight, complete with raise-able dragon battle mounts and shadow invasion content provoked when big world bosses are downed. But what most players are probably looking forward to the most is the introduction of new fresh start servers. “ArcheAge: Legends Return introduces two new progression servers, Nui and Ezi, for North America and Europe respectively. Nui and Ezi will offer time-locked content for the first time in ArcheAge, starting with low caps and systems from the game’s original launch and developing major systems, like Castle Sieges and Hero Elections, over time.” As we’ve previously covered, some players are already worried about the potential for pay-to-win messes on the fresh start server. But Trion is downplaying that: “Marketplace restrictions will be in place to ensure that as the servers open, players will be placed on even footing through marketplace and gear progress … [Read more...] about ArcheAge 4.5 Legends Return launches tonight with new fresh start servers

ArcheAge players fear pay-to-win practices will infect new progression server
Play ArcheAge for freeWith ArcheAge’s new progression fresh start server going live today, players are raising concerns that Trion Worlds has slipped in pay-to-win elements in its cash shop mere hours before the shard’s activation. Some of the questionable items that have appeared on the cash shop include dungeon run consumables, leveling consumables, best-in-slot pajamas, and combat consumables. One major ArcheAge content creator, Paradox Gaming, called Trion out on Twitter for the last-minute move: “Its not to late to save this fresh start launch of ArcheAge. You have time to fix the ‘pay to win’ that has hit the fresh start marketplace. The community wants to hear that all is not lost for ArcheAge. What say you @hartsman? Can we get a public statement on AA FS P2W?” Source: Reddit, Twitter.

Diaries From ArcheAge: Endless Review Queue
I feel like I’ve gotten a lot done since ArcheAge launched just a few days ago. Don’t believe me? I got my homework done in a timely fashion for my journalism class, and I even managed to level in Destiny to 23 with rank 1 in the Vanguard faction. At the rate things are going, I should be level 25 by the end of the week and might even have some coveted Vanguard armor. I’ve also been able to catch up on some reading and on the overwhelming list of podcasts I subscribe to. I also can’t even describe the amount of napping I’ve gotten in. This must be a testament to ArcheAge, but rarely do I come across a game that I still want to play after sitting in a queue for an hour and a half, and that is with patron priority. By that time, I’d probably be doing something else, like fixing the neck muscles I’d strained by falling asleep in my $15 computer chair that has no back support. The more I venture into ArcheAge, the more I find things that I like. … [Read more...] about Diaries From ArcheAge: Endless Review Queue
ArcheAge 4.5 Update Launching April 5, Adding 2 New Progression Servers
Trion Worlds announced today that the next expansion for ArcheAge titled "ArcheAge: Legends Return" launches on April 5th and will be known as update 4.5. The new update adds new customizable dragon mounts which can be raised and used as battle mounts. The update also adds new major world bosses as well as major balance changes to many of the game's classes. The launch of 4.5 also brings with it 2 new progression server, both of which will be available to free users on day 1. Players who pre-order a Legends Return Entry Pack can secure their names beforehand. These packs run for $9.99 - $99.99. Personally, I'm quite glad to see Trion Worlds give access to progression servers for free. Numerous other titles, including Rift from Trion, requires a monthly sub to access these progression servers. I suspect the fresh start servers will be a big hit, as they have been with other MMORPGs. Like other progression servers, these new servers will start off with limited content and lower level … [Read more...] about ArcheAge 4.5 Update Launching April 5, Adding 2 New Progression Servers
