The community of ArcheAge has a pretty bad reputation. Trion Worlds now wants to actively address this and take stricter action.
Community Manager fights toxic players
Even the community manager Celestrata admits that ArcheAge has quite a problem with disruptive elements in its own community. From the outside, the ArcheAge community often appears unfriendly and infiltrated by trolls. That is exactly what Trion Worlds wants to address, as the social interaction of players should be made friendlier and more respectful.
In a long open letter to the community, Celestrata reveals the first steps that will be taken to achieve this goal.
- Restructuring the forum: Some areas of the official forum will be closed, but new sub-forums will also be created to better group players and their concerns and to create more overview. In the forum, players from all servers should come together and experience a sense of community instead of splitting up by servers.
- Stricter rules for in-game chat and forums: In a separate letter from customer service, the new, expanded chat rules have been presented. At the same time, enforcement of these rules will now be stricter, so that more players who violate them will face penalties that ultimately result in exclusion from the game.
- Numerous community events: Celestrata wants to put the community and all “Content Creators” around ArcheAge more in focus and support them. Through various events, players can receive special titles or other in-game rewards for their creative achievements.
Celestrata emphasizes that these are just the first steps on the long road to freeing the community from its bad reputation. However, it is also necessary for players to commit themselves to ensuring that ArcheAge remains a place people love to return to and invite friends to.
Korea meanwhile gets a Treant mount
In the Korean version of the game, a Treant mount has been announced. The controlling player can jump far with the tree beast and even throw rocks at enemies to inflict damage. However, how one gets this rather unusual means of transportation is still uncertain.
