Archeage Review

Figured it would be a good idea to write a little review about Archeage since I tried playing the game on the Russian server and then went right out and upgraded to the English alpha. I would have to say the game is totally worth it. Coming from Tera Online and playing that for the past 2 years this game has so many good features which most mmorpg's just don't have and with the cry engine 3 the game is really beautiful.

One of the first things I picked up on is for a game that's in alpha the game is actually really well polished aside from a few small quest bugs here and there or some memory leak crashes here and there the game runs really well without problems. I've tested the alpha for a lot of games and most usually contain server crashing 24/7 downtimes and such. When they upgraded to 1.2 they had some issues database wise but they where quick to resolve them and get the servers back up.

When you get into the game at first it might not really seem like anything that you haven't already seen in a mmorpg but once you hit level 12 and get your glyder the game really opens up for you allowing you to just fly to any location. And also is really useful for finding that hidden ledge to plant trees and sneak farms rather then fighting over space to have a protected farm.

Or you can totally be that bad person going around stealing from other peoples farms. I will be doing some guides in the future about the infamy system and some of the quests you can do to lose infamy. But the one thing that this game is really good for is having many different ways to level up and things to do.

Even the crafting system gives experiance and is more complex then most games but at the same time it was very well planned out. The farming system is just like harvest moon you have to take care of your animals and water your plants and harvest them when they are ready.

If your current game is doing nothing but making you bored Archeage will keep you busy and give you something new and exciting to play. And if you have been playing an action combat game like Tera Online you will still be able to get into Archeage's combat cause it's very fast paced it doesn't feel like a Wow clone.

But there is one thing Archeage isn't. It isn't the game that you will want to solo in. You are only a small koi fish in a huge fish pond and everything revolves around gathering materials for stuff so if you want a ship you will need other people to work together to obtain things easier.
