(-10/10) ex-Alpha Founder here...regret every penny spent.
I payed $150 for Alpha - I saw incredible potential in the game.
Game started off GREAT, a few bugs/issues but total excellent success!
Closed Beta hit and things started to show devs/game underestimating player size pool - too many ppl not enough servers.
This was all fine honestly, till it hit in Open Beta - Pay2Win micro transactions. From there it just spiraled out of control - garbage management and greedy schemes got the best of ArcheAge.
The game had died to me and many others that saw greatness in this small raw unshaped diamond.
Pay2ArcheAge was born - the rest is pointless to try and salvage.
