Must be. I knew a lot of people on my server since there was a lot of overlap with the ex-darkfall community, and I think pretty much everyone I've talked to has quit. Archeage is one of the few games where I had a lot of fun at the peak, yet actually regret playing.

I'm kind of curious to see if Archeage was a massive financial failure for Trion, or did it do exactly as expected (Make a shitton of early money, who cares about longevity as they didn't pay initial development costs).

Archeage was designed from ground up to drill for whale oil. I'm sure it has made and will continue to make money.

Has anyone checked out this new game from Square Enix, Triad Wars? https://www.triadwars.com/ If you believe their literature it is supposedly a sandbox, curious what embittered ex-AA-ers might have head about it.

I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that

no the library is regular content. Lobby? who knows but im invested in this game to the degree that i cant even remember the name of my guild unless i log in.

I have how ever farmed everything for the car myself (other than the mysterious garden powder, because gently caress the combat in the game is dull), and just waiting on the stupid timber coupe to be released. Then i can leave knowing i won.

There are "lobbies" for each floor, which are really just town-like zones with npc vendors and mailboxes and whatnot. You can buy scrolls that teleport you to each one if you're really lazy and don't want to go through the floors in sequence.

The lesson here is that mmo players are never happy. Bad deals make them angry. Good deals make them angry. Their whole existence is pain and rage and the only thing that can bring them temporary relief is the knowledge that their number is bigger than someone else.

I just started to check this game out. Seems fun so far because I'm going "ooooooh" at all the crazy class combinations you can make. I'm working on an Oracle (archery/vitalism/auramancy).

Any good guilds on Inoch?

Yeah don't touch this game. There's a few diamonds in the rough as far as gaming mechanics go but the publisher stopped giving half a flying rat's gently caress about the game years ago and Trion took a massive, steaming, Taco Bell-poo poo on what was left to suck as much cash out as quickly as possible.

If the endgame at 55 is even remotely as grindy as it was a 50, you're going to have a miserable time trying to pvp, especially since the community is dying down.

I usually don't get into MMO's until a year or so after launch.

There's a lot that's interesting about the game such as the farming aspect and the massive amount of class combinations. There are essentially 120 classes!

The playerbase seems pretty anemic.

You can farm under the ocean by planting trees upside down under the seabed. You can change your current health via a file in your own client install and remove any debuff, like the one that prevents you from chaingunning fireballs or whatever. Only like 12 of the classes are remotely useful, and only like 4-5 of them are actually good in pvp. If you're having fun then cool, but the second it stops being fun at all you should stop because it doesn't get better.

There are some things about it that raise red flags for me, such as the fact that Trion doesn't seem to any form of customer service at all.

you need to log in to access customer service. Getting a suspension prevents you from logins. You need to contact customer service to appeal your suspension.
Their anti-cheat is total rear end and throws more false positives than catches hacking

Trion is comically incompetent

I sometimes turn down sex and blowjobs from my girlfriend because I'm too busy posting in D&D. PS: She used my credit card to pay for this.
Also CoC and ToS violations are incredibly inconsistent. Service in general is widely inconsistent, the older your account the more poo poo you're likely to get away with. They also don't take the sexism, harassment, or other parts of the their TOS/COC seriously at all, and If you own a castle I'm pretty sure you could start a child pornography ring and they wouldn't do anything until it hit CNN. (Because it's unlikely they actually can do anything that wouldn't break the server)

But it also manages to go the other way, where you'll just get banned for a week for no reason. Probably because you pissed off somebody with a GM friend.

Basically stay away. Go play black desert or some other bad game and you can run into the exact same assholes.

Hey now, XLGames hasn't abandoned it. Korea is up to 1.8 now, and every other version but Trion's is at 1.7 or will launch at 1.7. XL has made maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany bad decisions, but only Trion is treating Archeage like a blatant cashgrab nowadays.

that's the frustrating thing about it yea. like i have fun every day logging in and tending to my crops and stuff, it's farmville with pvp, but it's annoying that the version that's in English is the worst one. i feel like if there was another company handling the game it'd be way more competitive. trion has been trying to get better lately but still pretty far from satisfactory

the RNG boxes are just the worst lol. i'm not sure if the guy who came up with them, or the people who spend hundreds of dollars on them are worse.

Probably because their company is a sinking ship due to their handling of this game, and managing to transform Rift from a pretty solid MMO to a total steaming poo poo pile. Yes, I'm still bitter about spending $200 on this game.
