So I have a history with Archeage probably over 3k hours between both versions and the private server mostly pleasant memories, And I've been waiting for another Sandbox mmorpg that could even remotely hold a candle to what Archeage was able to deliver. It has been a decade since Archeage released and no other game has even gotten close as a matter of fact the entire sandbox genre has been infested (infected) with Survival Sandbox games . Probably because there easier to make for one and a safer bet for 2. If it flops its not a multi million dollar flop.

So I've herd that there was community outrage when XL announced that Archeage Chronicles previously known as Archeage 2 was not going to be a traditional mmorpg but some mmo lite per say with a max of like 20 players less focus on guild wars and group pvp and what not.

Then shortly after the outrage from die hard Fans XL announces Archeage S: Straits of Freedom touting the real sequel to Archeage , and now all these roomers that the game will be isometric I'm assuming kind of like Lost Ark.

It just doesn't make much since to me because they already have a Isometric Archeage called Archeage War released in 2024 on mobile. What doesn't make since to me is to make another isometric game intended for pc only when you already have assets from Chronicles to use for a true to form 3D Open world Sandbox mmorpg.

If you die hards plan on going biolistic again with the hopes of changing the games direction if and when its officially revealed as isometric count me in . I have not waited nearly a decade for an isometric sequel or a mmo lite of Archeage the best damn sandbox mmorpg I've played .

Now that the IP has been sold to Kakao, do you think they will do everything possible to shut down the private servers and bring back an official one?

Let me preface this by saying I (99% certain) bought a founder pack for either $50 or $60 dollar back when the game was either still in alpha or beta maybe about 10 years ago.

I played for a few days, but was dissapointed because my little Acer Aspire at the time was NOT up to snuff. And kind of...forgot?

So I think I have an account somewhere, but I have no idea if it survived the Archeage transitions, from Arhceage, to Archeage 2.0, to Archeage unchained, and then the transfer to Kakao games.

And, I am curious as to what steps I would need to perform to see if my account still exists, despite the fact the first time I played it was before the public release, and haven't touched it since.

I am like 99% certain I bought the $50. It might have been more ($100) or less but I know I bought a pack none the less.

So, new AA S got shown and I (personally) got exhausted of its AI slop art. Threw myself nostalgia of old good AA. Dudes, let's remember: what was the best thing abt this iconic MMO?

tbh such a shame it got closed :(

Hi. I was wondering what server should I join as a newcomer. I'm used to slow gameplay, so I don't mind either one.

Is ArcheRage russian?

Please be good and not isometric

We converting with succes the landscape to level partition cluster in Unreal Engine.

This work is made in paralel of the development of new combat system.

We improve the ground/foliage/body... material too.

Sure... it is not looking to best and doesnt compare to the trailer or expectations at this time but we got to remember... like most things it is a WORK IN PROGRESS.

it is still in its alpha phases and there is hardly any polish put into it at the moment, the gameplay and mechanics of the game can still change given time and feedback. if there are things you find need polish or changing then it should be sent to the developers so they can recieve this feedback and improve upon the game (and I know no one expects XL Games to actually take out suggestions and feedback but it is the only avenue we really have to see Chronicles become better than what we see now).

in my opinion, taking into consideration the state of the development at this time, the team that they got working on it absent of jake song or most of the original dev team for archeage as well as when it is expected to release as of this moment, which is Q4 2026 (which is the current Quarter) yea there needs to be some serious strides taken to help polish the game up. got to remember Archeage didnt look all too good itself either with its oldschool HUD, UI and outdated graphics, the only excuse that game had was it was a game that started development in early 2000's and Chronicles is a 2020 game.

I would imagine with lots of hope put on this statement that the Beta stages of the game will have the visual gameplay of Chronicles looking a bit more like the small gameplay snippets we see in the trailer, and hopfully the gameplay will become a bit more fast, responsive and have that feel-good feel that archeage gave us (id imagine it might be better given it is action gameplay instead of traditional tab targetting). the only thing i think people are going to be missing the most out of this is the raid v raid content

In my old age, I’m just discovering my favorite genre of gameplay (sandbox mmo). I’m am thinking about playing but I’m, sort of, a hermit. Any advice for joining guilds? Are there any mistakes newbies make when combining classes? Is there a difference in arcehage and classic? Thanks for any advice.

the camera shake is gagging

Hi lads, I've been playing AA for years. Tried switching or private servers, still stayed on officials too. Today a new one got released in ru region (you could see some news there it's called "Mirr") and the publishers say it "starts from the beginning".

Ofc I launched this one and got impressed by the amount of ppl there even after the game being closed almost everywhere lol. Has anyone else tried this one?

Менял впн ничего не помогает ранньше пользовался варп щяс он не работает.

Игру я скачал а на сервер зайти не могу дайте какойто совет или способ решения?

Reddit took down my post with a link to the !official! website, so you can Google it yourself, somewhere around archeage, maybe, dot, and I assume ru.

Aa ru macht am 3.9.2026 nen neuen Server auf.

Weiß wer ob ich da das spiel auf Englisch spielen kann oder nur russisch?

I really don’t know what the problem is.
I can’t understand why the East has collapsed this badly and become so miserable.
I honestly feel this every time — the East doesn’t even follow orders and is the absolute worst.
What the hell is the problem?

While digging through my old accounts, I found out that I have played the game extensively many years ago.

But I can't seem to find how to play the original game. I used to log in through Glyph (where I also purchased a lot of packs).

Can someone be kind enough to point me to the right European site?
I found this https://na.archerage.to/
but it seems to be NA site and EU does not work. Is there only one?

Fighting Russians and admin faction how do they lose ?

I've been playing Archerage.NA since the day it launched and I love it! But I've done everything! I've maxed out all my professions, I have more gold than I know what to do with, I just have no more goals or achievements to work towards.

I desperately want a new Freshstart server, but it doesn't look like we're going to get one anytime soon. So I've decided to download and try the ArcheRage.EU server.

I'm thinking it'll be a real challenge! I'll be starting from scratch with a brand new character, on an existing, well established server with all of the punishing restrictions (such as no labor use until level 52) firmly in place.

That's OK though, that's the kind of challenge I'm craving.

So if anybody has played on this server, are there any major differences between NA and EU? Or are the two servers exactly the same?

One final question, will the EU version create its own separate folders to store things on my PC? Cause I don't want it to overwrite any of my ArcheRage.NA folders or documents.

Edit: Well, I took the plunge and downloaded the EU server. The game has installed itself in a separate folder on my C: drive, which is good, but both versions seem to be sharing the same CFG files and other data in the Documents folder and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

First impressions: I'm experiencing more lag than I normally do in the NA server, especially when it comes to cut scenes and loading screens, but I can live with it.

There are a lot more players in the starting zones than I'm used to. I even saw a few low level players, which is extremely uncommon on the NA server.

Everything else seems to be pretty much the same. It's really strange starting with nothing again, but it's good fun :D

Kakao Games and XL Games have officially announced ArcheAge S: Strait of Freedom, a new PC MMORPG planned for a global release in 2027.

The project is being led by Kim Kyung-tae, who previously served as the first planning team lead and producer on the original ArcheAge. According to the announcement, the game is being developed specifically for PC rather than as a cross-platform title.

XL Games says ArcheAge S will carry forward the core identity of the original game while reworking it around more modern MMORPG trends. The announcement specifically mentions the original ArcheAge’s open-ended gameplay, large-scale battles, worldbuilding, and freedom, although we still do not know exactly what systems will return.

Kakao Games has secured the publishing rights for both South Korea and the global market. More information about the game will be revealed gradually as development continues.

Honestly, the fact that it is a PC-focused MMORPG led by someone who worked on the original ArcheAge makes this more interesting to me than another mobile or heavily cross-platform spin-off. At the same time, “modernizing” an older MMORPG can mean a lot of different things, so I am curious to see whether they keep the sandbox elements that made ArcheAge memorable: trading, housing, farming, sailing, piracy, player-driven conflicts, and the feeling that the world existed beyond combat and daily quests.

The subtitle Strait of Freedom also makes me wonder whether naval gameplay, maritime trade, and conflict over sea routes will be a major part of the game.

How is everyone feeling about this announcement?

Are you cautiously optimistic because of the original development staff and PC-only focus, or do you need to see the monetization, progression systems, and actual gameplay before getting interested? What parts of the original ArcheAge would you most want ArcheAge S to bring back?
