Hydaelyn Role-Players

Hello hello,

Long time, no see! I'm Rakka'sae Kuhn, a former roleplayer from Balmung. I didn't get to meet a lot of you out there, but I wish I had! I've come back to tell you guys about a little site I've founded for another game out there that had my heart well before I started playing FFXIV, and that stole it back again when Alpha testing began for the West.

This game is vastly different from FFXIV. If you haven't heard of it, I encourage you to check out www.archeagegame.com where you can find all the basic information about the game. It's pretty legit! I think that many will find it interesting. Plus, if it's your wallet you're worried about, you can play the game for free. You won't have access to a lot of the things that make it a unique game, but you'll still have access to just about everything you'd need to maintain a casual RP character.

Now, that being said, I'm trying to help grow and improve my RP community site. We were the first RP community site out there, and reformed recently! The new site is much improved and, for those of you who really can't stand Enjin like I can't, it's thankfully not hosted on Enjin!

The site is ArcheAgeRoleplay.com, and we have lore resources that no other site out there does--with promises to bring you even more. If ArcheAge has your interest, and you're thinking you'd like to RP there, please consider joining my site and helping us to improve. I'm also still on the lookout for moderators, so if that's something that you think might interest you, drop me a line on our forums!

Anyway, thanks for making it all the way through this post. Hope to see you around!

Bookmarked.

As ArcheAge is something I'm interested in (well, less so than I used to be, tbh, ever since learning that housing is for subscribers only... *sigh*), this will be a useful resource. Thanks for putting it together and dropping by with a note!

I am intrigued by Archeage, rather sad I was never invited for the Alpha (I do not have the funds to buy my way in) - It looks like an awesome game. I'm definitely going to try it when it comes out. 

My faith in Trion has been completely shattered however, after they closed the EU-RP server in Rift despite about 60 pages worth of resistance on the forum. It may well just save ArcheAge that it's developed by another company, because Trion does not seem to care for story nor for roleplayers anymore - So at least the lore wont suffer. I don't think they're going to give us an easy time, if they live up to what they have in Rift then the RP community will stand without support, and nothing will be done to griefers either. I'm not saying that Squeenix does a better job, but yeah. I just have no faith it's going to get any better. 

I'll sign up to your site and if I dare you might see me around on the forums there. Otherwise I will just lurk forever.

Sastra ~ Yeah, we've been pushing Trion to label an RP server, but they have been vehemently refusing despite the popular opinion that they really should give us a server. I think they're more than happy to overlook us, but we're still able to make our own fun I suppose!

Naunet ~ Aye, and that's how it worked in Korea too. x.x On the plus side, you could always "rent," so to speak. If you'd like to play free but want to have a home of your own, you could ask a subscriber to make one and to add you to their family. They could set it to family access so you have essentially full rights to it, then you can mail them the tax money (in-game currency) they'd require to keep it afloat. They'd also have to help you with the furniture placement though, because only the homeowner can do that. Anyway, there are little ways around it~ So at least there's that!

You know I'm married to this game but I'll gladly play AA on the side. <3

Yea, the unfortunate part is that I had been hoping to be able to just play it as my casual-on-the-side MMO and spend all of my time just building up a house, raising livestock, etc. >_< The work-around isn't exactly appealing in that sense. I wish they'd change their minds about the housing restriction...

The restriction does make some sense. Land is finite and will be gobbled up quickly. ^^

If it's un-instanced housing, I suspect the restrictions will only get tighter as more people buy property.

Yeah, I have been watching Archeage for a few years now. Following the english community who plays on the korean server. On paper it sounds absolutely amazing, but they had lots of complaints about it. Mostly involving the pirate/criminal system and how the risk vs reward is too out balanced. 

I still might check it out, but for some reason I think my heart will stay in FFXIV. The Repopulation is the only game I am looking forward to >.>
