Archeage

Haven't tried it yet, but wondering if anyone here has had a chance to play it.

It appears to be the next super hyped MMO coming out. Any first impressions? Reviews? I'll admit I'm somewhat intrigued by the "open world" concept.

My buddy's been playing it and he was saying it's fantastic. Says the highlight for him is the PVP.

And gone in 30 mins.

I read acreage first, then thought why is this in the tech forum.

I'm surprised they're still making MMO's like this tbh.

**Bump**

So the 'head start' began yesterday and it's been a 'positive cluster ######'.

The game has played pretty well and things are generally running smoothly for a launch, but all that positivity is lost by the insane queues and general inability to log in.

Anyone else playing head start? It's the first time I've played a game like this at launch....curious to know how it stacks up against others.

I played the beta, thought it was just a nicely disguised themepark. Tab targeting, boring fetch quests, player housing only in designated areas. The game is advertised as open world and anything can happen but it really did not feel like that at all, just seems like nice window dressing on another WoW clone.

doesn't open up and switch gears till lvl 20 which is just long enough for people to lose interest before they get to the good stuff unfortunately.

yeah I didn't get far in the beta, maybe level 10. There were weird graphical glitches and stutters that made it headache inducing.
