Archeage (MMPROG)
-
Darn it, DanaR! I'm just starting to really get into FFXIV. If I were to go with Archage, at least I know I'd have good guildies! Has your cat figured out how to play MMOs yet?
CryEngine2? That's the same engine Aion's running on. It's a bit dated, but the graphics are still decent. Please do keep us posted.

Awwww
Yeah, when we pick it up, it will need to be on a VERY casual basis. School is kicking our behinds, but it would be nice to have 2-3h a week.I have a backlog of games on Steam that I will never get through. I have about 105 of them right now!!

I dislike PvP games, so had not even looked into this one.

Me too. I'm really into games that tell a story which is much better suited to single player games.

Resource management games are my cup of tea.

Definitely check out the MUD, though. It is up and running and no reason not to poke around. Doesn't require any install, it's all through telnet!

I will tomorrow or Tuesday - it's to late tonight to dig into something new

My cousin will be out if work soon, he's moving across the country again. He's a mudder. Maybe he'll get involved.

We caved and got into the Alpha. A warning: It's a 23GB download!
We got it downloaded and installed yesterday, got in late last night just to look at character creation. I do hope they add in some more skin tone choices, some more hair choices, and maybe even some more races. I'll be able to report back in a few days, once we've created some characters and given things a try.

@alexntg Oops, sorry, that was a typo! It's CryEngine 3, not 2.
No MMO training for the cats, they try and swat the screen instead of hitting combat buttons!!
It's back to tab-targeting, but as a usual healer, that's a relief. I tried the "point your mouse in the general direction" mode of healing in Neverwinter, and it just didn't work too well: Oh, you stepped 5 feet back, and another member ran in front, so I healed THEM instead of YOU - so that's why you're dead, sorry.
I'm looking forward to the economy - while I do like combat, I have be a little dismayed at the "flatness" of some of the games, where the focus seems to only be on combat. ArcheAge has openly admitted that some of the best gear will be player-crafted, and they have small nuances, like growing a certain crop or raising certain animals can only be done in certain parts of the world. And once you make a trade caravan, you'll need to keep yourself defended as you travel (either on foot or by boat). Totally up my alley.
