ArcheAge - Free to Play Only, No Money Spent - Darkrunner - P13 HD

Playing as a Darkrunner in ArcheAge, a FTP (free) MMO. This series will be during Beta 4. This is my first time with this new MMO from XL Games and Trion. Going to be doing a good bit of soloing but want to also try dungeons and PvP content. Archage is currently in beta (duh?) so obviously a lot of things can/will probably change.

The game was released in Korea on January 15, 2013 and has also had a closed beta in China. ArcheAge is described as a "sandpark" MMORPG, which the developers say is a hybrid of the open content style of a "sandbox" game, and the more structured play experience of a "themepark" game. Development Initial development of ArcheAge began in 2011, and closed testing of the game took place over two years. Before finally being released in Korea on January 15, 2013, the game went through five closed beta tests and one open beta test. In 2012, an XL Games studio representative said he expected ArcheAge to be released in North America on late september or early october of 2014. Also, in 2014 a newly hired CM has stated the game will be transitioning into beta phase and will release for NA and EU in 2014.Announcements made in July, indicate the launch of the beta phase for July 17th 2014. On April 24, 2014, Trion begun to offer founder packs, for early alpha and beta access. Gameplay Typical in-game scenery with player using a glider (upper right corner). Archeage features a zoneless world with third person view. Combat In addition to traditional combat settings, ArcheAge offers naval combat in such settings where players have to secure trade routes or engage in sea-land battles. Ships need to be built and equipped with weaponry and man power and fights can be between players or against sea monsters. Player vs player (PvP) Player ships can be attacked. Buildings can be destroyed by other players including castles being attacked with siege weapons. City founding is possible by erecting floating city stones which can in turn be attempted to be captured by enemy forces. Crafting The crafting system in ArcheAge is very extensive with everything from equipment and food, the construction of vehicles, and building furniture for the player-owned homes. The more you craft, the more crafting options become available. Housing The housing system allows players to construct buildings in designated, non-instanced zones throughout the world using a free-placement method. These buildings allow players to decorate their interiors/exteriors with both cosmetic and functional
