In the Sandpark MMO ArcheAge, the data for the further process is set. Next week, on September 4th, the open beta will begin. The release is scheduled for September 16th.
On the night from Friday to Saturday, Trion Worlds held a press event in Seattle. They had invited to a hotel. Around 5 AM our time, the publisher of Trion Worlds revealed to fans and the press the schedule for the western version of ArcheAge from now until release. Surprise, it is even tighter than expected:
Tight Schedule – less than two weeks until the Founder Headstart
- The Alpha and Omega servers will close this Sunday. There will be an event to say goodbye. Fans should keep an eye on the horizon and their mailboxes.
- Next Thursday, on September 4th, the open beta will begin. It will last until September 8th, thereby matching the length of the previous closed beta dates.
- After the end of the open beta, the beta characters will be wiped.
- On September 12th, the headstart will begin for owners of a founder package. The servers will already be up, all systems hopefully running at full capacity, and those with headstart privileges will, as the name suggests, have an early start and go into the competition with a lead.
- On September 16th, the launch will take place. The official release is approaching; the free-to-play MMO ArcheAge will be available for everyone to play.

Mein MMO says: Okay, this is a surprisingly tight schedule. The September 16th date had already been expected, as it was circulating on Steam. The fact that it really comes down to such a tight schedule is indeed surprising. We had anticipated a longer open beta and a bit more time between the phases. Fans will surely appreciate that it kicks off so early. Now players can start planning more accurately, and some guilds will choose a server in the next few days to attack and conquer it.
