Trion worlds the published of many mmo, among them Archeage was acquired for Gamigo a while ago, since then they have been trying to fix many mistakes made by their previous publisher that were made in the game and drove a great amount of people off the game.
I didn’t spend much time playing Archeage because the blatant pay to win in the game, I don’t have any problem to spend some money in something that I like, but being forced to do it to stay relevant or competitive is a no-no for me, there have been some fresh starts (new servers) of the game but they always have been connected to the old system/world/advantages that spending real money gives to the whales, but now there revive the game with a brand new server but this time buy to play.
Archeage unchained is a buy to play model of the game, where It will still have microtransactions BUT “without any pay to win” its suppose to be just for vanity items and nothing more, the date of the release is the 30 of September and the prices of the packages was recently revealed, starting from 25.99$ up to 79.99$. The differences between these packages are some cosmetics, badges and some credits (cash store currency).
This could be a great opportunity to bring back a really great and complex game, with a lot of features and different gameplay, probably one of the best open world-sandbox mmorpgs made. We are still to see if the new publisher will keep their word or for how long it will be, still this is a game that worth to try.
So who else is excited to get another shoot to ArcheAge?
