In the F2P MMORPG ArcheAge , Trion Worlds has revealed its plans for the future.
In an interview with the US site mmorpg, the producer of ArcheAge, Merv Lee Kwai, discussed the future of the sandbox MMORPG ArcheAge.
Now in February, the second part of the 3.0 update (3.0b) will be released. A gigantic world boss will arrive at the Diamond Coast. It will take over 200 people to defeat the “Thunderwing Titan,” thinks Kwai.
We found two videos about the “Thunderwing Titan” and have embedded them here. In Korea, it has been live for quite some time.
Shortly after, Trion Worlds is planning to bring the major update 3.5 – which has just been released in Korea – with a new trading system and many other features, says Kwai.
We reported on the Korean update when we first thought it was called 3.1 – it has now been released as update “3.5” to emphasize how massive and important it is.
ArcheAge Thrives After Revelation
The update 3.0 and the fresh start servers have done well for ArcheAge, as Kwai believes. ArcheAge is thriving, especially because they have eased up on the cash shop and monetization.
In the future, ArcheAge plans to have such “fresh start” servers – maybe once a year when there is a major release.
Technical Difficulties Due to the Innovative Nature of the Game
The technical issues with update 3.0 are explained by Kwai as ArcheAge daring to do things that other MMOs don’t. Risky, large, innovative things with 500 people in the zone and real-time strategy elements are part of ArcheAge’s identity, says Kwai.
So much for the current situation of ArcheAge. By the way, it has made it back into our list of the best F2P MMORPGs that you can play for free today:
