They'd have to remove the subscription requirement for owning land for it to even be worth reinstalling. I don't foresee them ever doing that.

Pretty much this. It's pretty impossible to advance in the game without owning land.

$15/mo is so hard to get for me to spend 300 hours in a month playing video games

If you're spending around 10 hours a day playing an MMO, then paying $15/month is the least of your problems.

I haven't played the game in a year and still think owning land in Archeage is not total garbage and just not vanity poo poo.

What about those twitch streamers making mad bank with their 5k+ viewers and subs? Can they play video games 10 hours a day? Local retard twitch streamer towelliee makes around 7 grand a month streaming that much.

Played some Archeage while the forums were down. The skateboard is pretty fun, and you can get one free for 30 days with the "oh god please come back" tokens. Rolling through Hellswamp I noticed the the sound effect was really strange; it sounds like you're skating through a roller rink instead of a swamp. Then I realized that if I'm seriously considering the realism of the noise a motorized skateboard makes when going through a swamp in a bad video game, I should just kill myself.

I'm a ghost now.

The griffin totally flies. One of the 4 mount skill buttons launches it. It can fly for up to 5 minutes!!! 2 minutes longer than a glider. But it has no boost button, so it slowly descends and there is no way to get it to higher, so to go for the whole 5 minutes you need a really high jumping off point. I believe it is also immune to turbulence like the Pegasus, so you can ride it over the ocean for the whole 5 minutes with a high cliff to launch from.

It's nearly identical to the pricey Celestial Pegasus. Peg goes 10m/s base speed, grif goes 9 m/s base speed. The big difference is that the peg can wear any mount armor, but the grif can only wear special armor from the cash shop.

Who buys cosmetics for characters you're seeing from a bird's eye view? Game might be fun but that Diablo-style of game doesn't seem suited well to an mmo.

Remember how you spent all that time getting those tokens to upgrade your weapon in that one zone and when that was done you realised that you needed to rng the weapon and then they made you do that other dumb thing and everyone else was hacking. And you lie awake at night thinking about how you are going to die and and and

Hasla was enjoyable if you got in on out when the swarm had the entire zone locked down. And you didn't need the bow, gently caress that thing.

Hasla is p. easy now. Nobody there for hours at a time. You can have the sword, the bow, the lute, the club and the staff all to yourself!
