The best part of ArchAge is how it absolutely gutted the remaining wushu playerbase. I never played it (got deep into monster hunter instead) which is probably a good thing considering how quickly it died off.

To this day I don't know how so many people were suckered into archage especially with the 150 dollar pack. There was no way it was gonna live up to half of those expectations.

Nah, it's like stock. If you can convince a few people to overvalue something, you can sometimes use them to convince more people to overvalue it. Then the more people you've got tricked, the more reasonable your price seems to people you haven't tricked yet. Ever hear anyone say 'they can't all be wrong'? It only takes a few hiccups to break the illusion though, and then you get... Archeage.

Sorvah the person with more money than sense posted:Appealing to whales only works if you're actually providing something of value. There's certain games I play where I'll spend £200/£300 because money is an easier resource for me than time (and I have terrible impulse cntrol), but there is still an inherent value decision I make, even if I don't mind spending the money.

 All I did was kill afk people doing carts and I got 4 pages of mad Also wulin is pretty good, but battleping/wtfast is necessary. Huge lag spikes ping around 300-400 without. Fairly stable 150-200ms with.

The best thing I ever did in AoW was getting this costume from the Jianghu status thing and I still have no idea what it means: I was a guard of Evil Men's Valley, you had to be liked by 20 NPCs (which I did abusing the cash shop horse merchant system and an autoclicker, as many NPCs like you buying things.) I don't really see how it would be possible to do this without cheating at the time - when they changed NPC relations they removed the Jianghu Staus rewards. You got a weird little side quest that gave you basically nothing. Grithok was supposed to do the opposite but I don't think he ever did because he's a jerk.

I just think he's surprised that there's a wuxia style game that a Gweilo is interested in.

Grith, be my husband/concubine when this makes its way to the English version (Natalie can be our maid in waiting). I'll love you long time and give you many fruitful male childrens. Quote from Haroshia- It originally started because way back in beta the Vietnamese guilds moved here convinced they would dominate the game with their knowledge from the Chinese game. When Goons arrived, MO specifically went into a panic because their leader at the time had apparently been ganked by goons in EVE. They spread the word and the Viet guilds at the time started to KoS Goons while throwing racial insults, chief among them being calling Goons "American Dogs". We responded by barking at them, and taking a silly, sarcastic "'MERICA" style stance where all our allies were warriors of freedom, and all our enemies were obviously terrorists. Bark bark bark, I'm an Australian dog and I'll be referencing our greatest freedom fighter allies' when I can get into moonlight blade.

That Jerk Steve posted:Tractor blocking trade routes was the most enjoyable thing I remember about Archeage. That and uprooting trees with bigbo. I am a bad person. In a past online life I was a hyper aggressive control freak wow raid leader. ForestCrow was my karmic punishment for every time I was furious about off spec tanks/healers and warlocks/druids getting loot. We joined fc because we liked playing with feedz and he made it sound fun. It seemed the perfect goon utopia of messing with pubbies because they were bad while also being far worse people than the pubbies. The problem with fc was although feedz talked like it was his guild it was run by a freakish sperglord who made every mmo story or experience i have had or heard about seem tame. It started as all good terrbile elitist mmo guilds do with an interview. Now we had been talking to feedz for weeks about joining, he kept explaining that we just had to hit max level and do "the interview". "But feedz we know each other we sperged for ages in wushu you already know that we are terrible broken human beings making us perfect mmo players." "Ah its okay Unji is the actual guild leader but we share the guild he just does the admin I can't be bothered with, and he likes to do a joke interview." Except it turned out not to be a joke. It was exactly the same as terrible mmo interviews for sperg guilds I had given and taken in wow and even explaining to him the we had played with feedz for months got us no traction. More annoyingly not all of us hit 60 at the same time and so people were left waiting for interviews for days and in one case weeks because Unji didn't have the time to ask what your favourite ice cream flavour was or how much you liked anime. But why didn't Unji have time you ask? Because of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH643ajGXFc This is the kraken and the only thing Unji loved more than the kraken was sword art online which was the only time he would stop cosplaying as Captain Ahab and let the guild have a break. The kraken dropped a glider that made you immune to the strong winds which was a mechanic in open sea pvp areas that stopped you from abusing flight in ship v ship battles. In wushu terms it was similar to that one area in the imperial city that prevented flying skills, except with the flyer you could goose step even on the open waters. The main problem was our version of archeage had a buffed kraken that was intended to be fought with ships and items from content we didn't have access to. This resulted in ongoing wars with what seemed like the entirety of the rest of the server. There were times when I would go to sleep after 6 hours of sitting at a kraken spawn, and log back in in the morning to quickly reset the timers on my archeage farm only to be shouted at that i wasn't at the kraken and where had I been for the last eight hours. Sometime kraken fights would last days continuous 72 hour stand offs were people would log off go to sleep go to work/uni then come back to stare at the kraken with ahab. Some people got around this by pretending to be afk but Unji knew better because the only thing he liked more than captain ahab and anime was keeping tabs on the entire guild. Unji used the ingame equivalent of /who to keep track on which zone which guild members were in. If you changed zones did anything to cause a message or made the mistake of talking in a guild or public chat Unji would know, he would sense it. He would screenshot who was in which zone and compare it every so often to make sure people were afk, and then demand they come and sit staring bleakly at a virtual kraken. The class system in arceage was great you choose 3 sub classes and they combined to give you a class. Unfortunately Unji had very specific thoughts about which specs were neccesary for staring a a kraken for several hours, and your special snowflake spec didn't cut the mustard. The kraken fights also consumed a lot of resources several hours worth of farming would be wasted in cannonballs at every attempt. Anytime we did pvp at the kraken Unji would check your buffs to make sure you had expensive one use consumables active. He would also at times do checks and demand people open trade windows with him to show that they had full stacks of the best potions and food in preparatrion for staring at a kraken for hours. TLDR: feedz tricked a bunch of us into having actual interviews all so we could be tracked with far more dedication and accuracy than sex offenders. To have us work 4-8 hour shifts watching a kraken and occasionaly fighting until we out sperged the other groupoften for days or in one case weeks. We had our chat monitored, our pockets were riffled through and we were harrassed if we weren't the correct spec or had poo poo gear because we had no money because all game time was consumed by the kraken.

That said...what kind of obscene e-honor stuff is going on over there? I'd imagine it's more than just 'gigantic carebear circlejerk' or something. People just take getting killed very seriously. Lots of national pride, between the various groups of Russians, Germans, Brits, Chinese, and so on. It used to be a giant PvE circlejerk with guilds actively trying to stop the one or two guilds that wanted to PvP. Then the lead guild of the circlejerk imploded because they lost a guild war, the leader quit, and the guild died, and PvP was given free reign again. RainClan is the equivalent to GTC of Wushu, in that we are hated by a vast majority of the server, people go out of their way to try to kill us, and we are even allied with the viets. However, we win a vast majority of the fights, and there are a hell of a lot of them. Both sides have a a relatively equal amount of P2Ws, so that aspect is balanced. Aside from the beginning of Wushu when we were all clueless, I'd say I've had more fun in Wulin due to things like the population staying high, and Webzen/gPotato being a smarter company in general when it comes to running the game.
