Trion has announced that ArcheAge’s 2.0 game update will go live on September 12th. The Heroes Awaken patch will follow the 48-hour server merge period that begins on September 10th at 4:00 p.m. EDT.
Heroes Awaken adds a new political system, housing upgrades with “crafting-focused benefits,” guild expeditions, guild war declarations, and “much more,” Trion says in its announcement post. It’s also worth noting that ArcheAge will be adding two fresh start servers, Rangora and Morpheus, following the merge.
