ArcheAge / Re: ArcheAge Game Info
January 25, 2013, 02:09:14 AM
Trion Worlds has signed a deal with South Korea’s XL Games to bring the big-budget fantasy role-playing game ArcheAge to Western markets. It will publish the game on its Red Door online commerce platform in North America and Europe. The deal represents a major bet on the massively multiplayer online gaming business, which is competing fiercely for the attention of consumers alongside rivals such as social, mobile, and console games.
The title has spent six years in development, and its creator is Jake Song, who made the smash hit online game Lineage. It has been in closed beta tests for two years and has launched in beta testing in Korea. For Trion, the deal is a big coup, said Lars Buttler, the chief executive of Redwood City, Calif.-based Trion, in an interview with GamesBeat. He described ArcheAge as having an “incredible amount of polish.†Trion aims to launch the game later this year in North America, Europe, Turkey, Australia, and New Zealand.
Trion is the publisher of Rift, another fantasy MMO that also took about six years to make. Buttler said that the game generated more than $100 million in revenue for Trion in its first nine months, and the title will soon be coming out in China, one of the biggest MMO markets. Trion also developed an online games publishing platform dubbed Red Door, which it can use to publish games developed by other companies. One of the premier games coming up is Crytek’s Warface, a modern combat shooter that is expected to be published this year.
ArcheAge might seem similar to Rift, but Buttler says the two are different. ArcheAge is divided into two continents. The western one (Nuia) is designed to appeal to Western gamers, while the eastern one (Harihara) is targeted at Asian gamers, who prefer different art styles.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Trion Worlds, a company who is setting a new standard for gaming by embracing original, high-quality [games] on a dynamic connected platform,†said Song, the CEO and founder of XL Games. “We are impressed with Trion’s track record as they have consistently delivered against an unwavering vision; we are confident partnering with Trion will help bring ArcheAge the success it deserves.â€
Buttler described Song as a “perfectionist in the best way.â€
The addition of ArcheAge will give Trion a busy spring, with Rift China, ArcheAge, and Defiance (an MMO that is debuting in conjunction with the launch of a SyFy channel show on television starting in April) all moving into large-scale beta tests that precede official launches.
“We could have half a dozen launches this year,†said Buttler. “We are on an amazing inflection point now. We think MMOs will be the winning platform.â€
Buttler also said that company will publish its MMOs on “any connected device.†His company is operating “games as a service,†where you launch a game and continually update it.
In ArcheAge, players choose a continent and then launch a virtual life in the online world. They can design their own characters and engage in all sorts of activities such as farming, flying, trading, building ships, creating underwater gardens, fighting naval battles, and more.
“It’s all you expect from a triple-A game,†he said. “In this category, you have to see World of Warcraft as competition.â€
Tencent will introduce ArcheAge in China while GameOn will publish it in Japan. GigaMedia will publish it in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao. That’s as close to a global launch as any MMO has ever had. Trion will translate the title and make changes to suit Western audiences.
Buttler described Red Door as a true web-based platform consisting of the back-end infrastructure and monetization tools for a huge online game. It has a development platform aimed at speeding up publication and a server architecture designed for dynamic events, where changes happen to the game world on the fly.
Meanwhile, Buttler said that the company has delayed the launch of its End of Nations real-time strategy MMO. The title was made by external developer Petroglyph Games in Las Vegas. But Petroglyph’s contract expired, and Trion decided to bring the game in-house to finish it, said Buttler. That resulted in layoffs at Petroglyph at the end of 2012, and Trion absorbed a number of its developers. That team is now making the game “more accessible,†said Buttler. That means the team is making it easier for players to get started more gently.
“It will take longer, but it was the right decision to bring it in-house and polish it more,†he said.
But the delay isn’t a problem since Trion will be more than busy publishing other titles in the first part of the year, said Buttler.
While Rift was tied to the PC, future titles will run across platforms. Defiance, for instance, will be published simultaneously on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and the PC. Over time, Buttler said the company will embrace smartphone and tablet platforms in a bigger way. Right now, Rift has companion apps, but those don’t let you play the same game while on the run.
Trion has a big war chest to publish huge games. The company raised $85 million in early 2012. Trion has more than 500 employees.
“We created a wish list from day one with the start of Red Door,†said Buttler. “We got Warface from Europe, and from Asia, we got ArcheAge.â€

The World
Black Desert Online is a seamless MMORPG, so there is no loading involved except when you are joining instances. They also revealed the climate and weather system, each region has a unique weather and climate that players will have to adapt too. For example, in the desert area players can raise a Camel and mine areas. In warm climate areas players will be able to farm and fish. Then there are areas that will be stormy, snowing, raining, typhoon, sunny, and etc. For example, if the climate of an area is very cold then it will start to snow or rain.
Players will be able to adventure by solo play, party playing, field raids, normal raids, raid dungeons, chasing, defense kind of games, siege warfare, guild vs guild, and a lot of cool other features.
Housing System
Since Black Desert Online is a semi-sandbox MMORPG, players will be able to build their houses in certain areas or rent places in cities or towns. They will also be able to purchase their houses through the auction house system. The house is fully customizable and can be filled with all kinds furnitures! The more objects and furnitures your place, the more NPC's will often stop by and become friendly with you. Like cooking? No problem, just set down the right furniture's and you can get started on cooking! The housing areas is limited so it's best to get your house early as possible. Though they said that they are implementing something so that players who join late in the game will have a chance in owning their own house through the "Reverse system." It kind of reminds me ArcheAge because there are a lot of players who started the game late and doesn't have a place to set their house down. If you're too poor to afford a house, you'll be able to get by just fine with a the tent system.
Mounts & Possible Breeding System
Black Desert offers a wide variety of mounts ranging from horses, camels, elephants, donkeys, and carts. Pearl Abyss is still debating on whether or not they should add a breeding system in the game where players can breed certain mounts into special ones.
Trading System
The game also offers a trading system where players will be able to travel and trade goods from all over the world. Players can craft special items in certain areas and trade and deliver it to the other areas of the map.
Combat System
Black Desert offers two kinds of combat styles, the first one is the original third person mode that plays a bit similar to your action games like Vindictus, Continent of the Ninth, and Tera Online. The other combat mode is a bit similar to your average FPS game, or to make things easier to understand, it is a along the lines of The Elder Scroll series, where you can run around and fight in first person or third person mode. The latest trailer also showcases fighting and chasing down monsters while you're on a mount, which is cool. I've noticed that are a couple classes now which are Fighter, Magician, Archer, Predator, Tamer, Blader, Male Archer, Female Fighter(Valkyrie), and Male Wizard.

January 23, 2013, 05:15:58 PM
Update:
Once either Guild reaches level 2 and has 40 slots available, we will get all the actives into the Guild that reaches level 2 first. Then the other Guild will be for alts or a backup Guild for newcomers if the main level 2 Guild is full. The Guild system in RO2 is pretty shit. Firstly, the Guild member cap is pretty ridiculously little. Secondly, the exp to level up the Guild is ridiculously high.
Once we are done with reaching level 2 and getting all the actives in that one Guild, I will restructure the Guild officers and appoint a new Guild leader that can commit most of his time in RO2.
Also if anyone needs to contact me urgently, etc, I will be on Raidcall daily as long as my PC is turned on.

Einzo ah! i got one proposal, is it possible to gather all ACTIVE players from both guild to one guild? with this, guild will have more active players, and we can help each other in dungeon or mini bosses, also makes the guild more lively!
IGN : Ayala
lv 50 Beastmaster, lv 50 artisan
Server : Jor SG/MY
That is the problem. We don't know who will be active and who will be inactive from time to time. Also, currently neither Guilds have enough space to gather all the actives into one Guild. Maybe when either one reaches level 2, we can decide from there to put all the actives into one Guild. This is why for now, I proposed to people getting on Raidcall for the common communication channel but apparently only very few did. Mic is not compulsory for Raidcall. It acts as both voice chat and messenger.
