Dang I forgot to post this when I listened but I just wanted to say that you all did a great job interviewing the ArcheAge guy and he didn’t really duck any of the questions which was a refreshing change.
To me he came across as really genuinely wanting to do the best for any Archeage players that will be jumping in on this relaunch. Good luck to everyone.
Thanks and keep up the good work :-)
That’s great. I bought a Founder’s Pack in ArcheAge to play a decent game, pretty much what Unchained is looking to be, and now that game is going to get worse as it moves towards the Korean Grind model, while I have to pay AGAIN to get the game I should have gotten when I paid the first time.
“We’re really happy with EasyAntiCheat and it’ll be back on the PTS soon.”
Yep… still dont care about ArcheAge then.
Gee, no pressure. ;) I’ll try not to disappoint, as long you don’t play Cassandra!
Okay, so you’re Pandora, and Bree is in the role of Brad Pitt.
