UPDATE: Archeage is crazy.
Good crazy. In no other game can you harpoon another ship and drag it to its doom on the high seas.

Please do! It looks like a good concept, but I'm curious on combat, crafting, class interactions, and little things before I invest.
there are some great videos from the last closed beta, including the one below on naval combat, just look around.
I also have this game (for a while now...Founder with Alpha excess) but haven't really test/played it as of yet.
Tried the Alpha a bit, but never done the closed beta's.... at least the alpha is always up, instead of the week(ends) Beta's.
But i can install the Beta if you like ? US server i presume ? and what server ?(if there is more then one)
Always more fun with more peeps... but i need to make a new character then, if that's not a problem.
Btw, do i also need to make a character of a special race and or faction to play with others ?
Like... can a race of a Western continent play together with one of the Eastern one ?
As i said... i haven't really tried it yet :P

I'm on Ollo, it's a US server. My crew and I rep Nuian Alliance all day, son.
Teh harani can play with the nuians, but only way later, at like level 35+. I think. Maybe.

Dear TEST, here's what I did on my summer vacation in Archeage:
Fought a dude.
Killed a dude.
Broke into prison. Got arrested for it.
Ran a trade pack to an uninhabited hellhole. Got murdered by like, 20 dudes doing it.
Convinced a dude to let my group tow his boat to his destination, only to drag him to open waters and murder him.
Killed some pirates and sent them to jail.
Fought a world boss.
Died to a world boss.
Surreptitiously fired the harpoon on my brother's boat into the seafloor, flipping his boat at high speed in an open PVP area.
Landed a rowboat in the rigging of a clipper.
Picked a fight with a jellyfish. Lost.
Told a cutter full of dudes that I was there to negotiate the terms of their surrender from my rowboat. Died.

wow, that looks intense. No way I'm paying 50 dollars for a game that is going to be free in a few months or even weeks, though. I'll be sure to download it once it goes out of the beta.
You may think that, but they're really restricted free to play people. Everything is done on a kind point system. Think energy from facebook games. This governs pretty much every activity in the game besides moving and combat. Want to gather something? Thats a heap of points. Want to open the bags of coins every enemy drops instead of actual coins? Thats a point. They regenerate at an agonizing pace for free players and there is a very low cap for them. They regen 4x faster for people paying and there is a high cap. I've liked what I've seen so far beyond that. Just be prepared that if you want to do it beyond a casual level you're going to need to pay a sub. Or be prepared to leave the game running 24/7 because f2p players on regen energy points by being online. It's likely to limit bots and RMT as well as making players want to sub.
Note- I have one of the founders packs that comes with a month sub, but it still feels somewhat limiting

The game itself is already free. You can pay for patron status, which gets you bonuis XP and labor points, but isn't neccesary. The open beta starts this thursday at 10 AM PST, and the head start for founders is on the 12th.

sweet! Thanks for the update. I just cleaned up my hard drive, I'm sure I can find room for yet another free game...
See you in the... Ocean?
Where I will promptly sink you and loot your corpse for what little value I can.
Maybe.
Maybe.

Hey, I keep seeing "TEST Guild Please Ignore" on Tahyang? Are you guys playing there? Or is this someone else?
