The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Yeah, no-one who went through that intro with the pirates attacking and poo poo should have any illusions about what kind of game is waiting here.

Here's what I remember, for the people without bad taste currently playing other games:

Archeage Intro, or at least one of them? Are there more? posted:


-First some dude invades your home and babbles nonsense.

-Then you're suddenly joining up with Captain Blackbird to fight other pirates or something, I dunno.

-Even if you'd made a mage during character creation, your character gets the shiniest plate armor

-If you made a woman, that armor has a giant hole in it so the enemy can kill you faster

-The dudes you signed up with are all cursed with helmets completely obstructing their view.

-One of them has shades instead, what the gently caress? Probably a mad scientist. Another bad sign.

-Your shining band of blind retards then gets their asses kicked by other pirates and you end up on some random coast.

-While trying to invade your ancient homeland of Idontgetafuckistan (which is luckily for you, right at that coast you washed up on), you go and try your hand at scouting and laying siege to some random castle.

-You scout so shittily you somehow miss an entire loving second army hiding inside the castle.

-Your half-drowned band of shiny, blind retards gets their asses kicked a second time. So hard in fact, even Captain Blackbird can't take this poo poo anymore and he dies in your arms.

-The drugs you took a day before suddenly start working and you get a bad trip.

-You wake up: It Was All Just A Dream.


Then the game starts and you're lucky if that confusing mess didn't make you forget the only good part: You learned some things about basic game control.

Cat people just kept it simple, with your coming of age ceremonies getting interrupted by assholes, you getting all but exiled for killing an rear end in a top hat tribesman, then you setting off to figure out why those assholes are such assholes and to stop them from being assholes.

When did they add that? During the "beta" weekends and launch, it was just a background lore dump, then you woke up in your tent.

No idea. :shrug: I only learned of Archeage by occasionally reading this thread, many months after the game went life.

Now imagine a weird guy breaking into your bedroom, flapping his mouth like a dying fish, while a German voice is droning on about magic portals.

This is my experience. :allears:

Instead of a tent, it's now a tree your mage cat hangs out in, then she backflips off to the ground and the game starts proper.

I patched my game yesterday. Looked at my character that atrophied 4 months ago. No land, no mail, no idea where I left my quests. Felt free to start fresh.

I processed 2000 mushrooms and 400 cultivated ginsing I had in my bank into stacks of medicinal powder and logged off. How do I get back into this lovely lovely game?

After the launch we had more than a thousand members in the goon guild. Now there isn't a goon guild.

And not without good reason.

I quit like 5 or 6 months ago right after the main goon guild dissolved, and we were averaging single digits to maybe a dozen people online towards the end. I'd be amazed if there's more than 3 or 4 goons together in any one place right now. So anyone that hates themselves enough to play this game is going to be playing with pubbies.

Are more goons on Aranzeb playing on the Nuian or cat people side? I'm guessing Nuian.

I loved when Kimsemus was forced out of the guild and about a dozen of us also left, created a guild suspiciously similarly named after the original guild and started pirating fishermen as hard as possible. Then the guild imploded and everyone was invited back 2 days later.

I like that because of this "fishing pacts" is a meme across many games.

I don't know who that goon was that got so enraged over us killing pubbies he white noised the microphone in front of 50 people, but he's the real hero in all of this.

We did get blessed with terrible EVE goons like this though:

I still don't really understand what happened in the Great Goon Fishing incident. But I do know Kimsemus, that if you created a blood feud among Archeage goons over something as comical and trivial and Fishing Code of Conduct then you're a hero and I salute you.
