    In short, ArcheAge does a whole lot of things most MMOs never would dare dream, but the sad truth is that it’s not exceptional at any one thing. And that, unfortunately, makes the grand idea that is ArcheAge a little underwhelming overall.

    If you are a Sandbox MMO lover, ArcheAge is for you. There is just one problem, bad management.

This may work for some people but it certainly doesn't work for me. There is a whole host of problems, the game basically was not ready for launch. The developers also seem to have a bad habit of pulling the wool over the eyes of those who already spent money on the game. A lot of unhappy folks at the moment.… Full Review »

It really wasn't a prediction as what's happened was a sheer given..

    - Cash shop dominated game
    - Pay to Win game
    - Destroyed economy
    - No end game
    - Bot & Gold spammer infested (Trion can't do anything)
    - Griefers going beyond the call of duty by using exploits to grief (Trion unbans them after 24hrs)
    - Innocents getting banned due to poor detection methods

    It's basically Diablo 3 when it was tanking but with a far worse end game.

    If there was a game of the century to avoid, folks, it's this one. Do not touch this one with a 10 ft pole. If you know people playing it (like I did), do everything in your power to get them to quit (like I did).    … Full Review »
