On ArcheAge there was another live stream on Friday outlining the future of the game. Patrons will receive work points in full even when they are not logged in.
Another ArcheAge live stream took place on Friday, where the producer Merv Lee Kwai answered community questions and announced news.
The most important probably: The Patron status will become even more attractive. Patrons will soon receive the same offline work point regeneration as online. Currently, players only regenerate half offline. For “non-patrons” there will be no changes. Patrons are the paying players in ArcheAge, where this status can also be earned “in-game”. Additionally, patrons will be able to access the auction house from anywhere. These changes are set to come in April.
Flying Horses, Red Dragon, Better Supply Chests, More Archeum
As a new attractive mount, the Pegasus comes to the game. It will be available through loyalty points or as a reward from one of the controversial supply chests. This is planned for March 26.
Supply chests have been a sensitive topic: Here they want to make improvements and, as announced, will remove the “weakest results.” Archeum should also be easier to obtain in the game, for instance in the “Coinpurses” that drop from mobs.
An event for the “Spirit of the Red Dragon” is also planned. This special mob is supposed to appear 3 times a day on 8 weekends (which count in ArcheAge as Thursday to Sunday). For each player who loots it within an hour, there will be Archeum and special scales from which a cape can be crafted.
As is often the case with live streams, there is a lot of mixed information: The next major patch 1.7 is planned for early May. They are also working on offering server transfers. Until this is technically possible, they want to increase the population of the smaller realms by occasionally restricting character creation on highly populated ones. Additionally, they are changing the conditions under which land can be sold in-game and introducing “Fishing Tournaments.”
