Up until this point, the only way you could hop in to the PTS of ArcheAge Unchained was to have pre-ordered the game. That is going to change as the game’s PTS will open its doors to everyone this coming Monday, October 7th. The announcement was made as part of a livestream with the devs this past Friday, which also included several other announcements regarding the game.
Many of these announcements revolve around the ArchePass, which is seeing a number of adjustments. For one, it will not be accessible until characters are level 30, which should stop people cheesing the first couple of ArchePass tiers to get rewards like Labor. The ArchePass time gate will also be shifted to a weekly basis instead of a daily one, and the time to level up the ArchePass will be reduced by 20%.
The livestream also mentions that character reservation should be live today, but a recent tweet has announced that time has once again been shifted to Saturday, October 12th. There are a few other bullet points of interest to players, so make sure to check out the full stream below or scan over this recap for more.
