The aim should be to move from lugging everything around yourself to mass production and carrying vehicles as well as other players. Trade is difficult as you need to transport goods as well as craft them. The "end game" is the player economy: Trading/PVPing over limited wealth and resources. It's more like Eve Online but in a fantasy world. The issues are sorted out now mostly and the game is settling into a nice rhythm. I've now played for a few weeks and I'm still loving it.
In AA, you will be farmed, you will die a lot and there is nothing you can do about it until you stop whining and sub like everyone else. In those games you have a chance at being somebody. If you refuse to buy a patron pass (monthly sub), you will be farmed, you won't own land, your gear will be 10 levels behind everything else in the game that drops and you can't even use the auction house to fix that problem. There's a lot to do and if you can afford $15 a month, it is a truly awesome experience.
ARCHEAGE MAP SIZE SIMULATOR
well, this isn't a freeware carebear simulator like they're used to. and as we have seen so far, they don't generally like it because. F2P users rarely like to invest anything into any game. It is insanely time-intensive and you have to invest time and effort to get things done. but then again, AA is not a game for casuals or for people who don't have an income. Lots of kids and freeloaders will not like this system. You can play for free, but until you pay for it you will never amount to anything. Think of the pay options in AA to be more like older try before you buy style of pay models. Sure, you can opt to pay as a F2P user, but you are throttled way back and will be used as cannon fodder until you pay. Some things folks may not like: This game requires a subscription. Animations are lifelike, dynamic seasons and weather.
ARCHEAGE MAP SIZE FULL
Make no mistake though, this is a full on PvP game at its center. There's ships to sail, open world PvP, trading, light PvE content. There's a vast amount of things to do and I haven't ran into any bugged quests or glitches yet (Level 48 of 50 presently). Gameplay is great IF YOU KNOW WHAT A SANDBOX MMO IS. With a relatively high-end PC, I am getting 150ish FPS in most areas with a large format monitor. Fully optimized with nextgen hardware in mind. it's review time! I'll keep is short and simple here. There's a vast amount of things to do and I haven't Now that the launch nonsense is fixed.
