A lot of interesting stuff there. Plans changed though it seems. No house on Freedich killed us. Halo Hallow base instead of Oxian clan would have been more interesting.
I remember someone getting killed by seabugs while making the swim to Freedich. All in all, this was the best planned and executed launch I have seen when you consider the multi-objective complexity that it required.
The funniest part was the launch was when everyone was freaking out about getting in-game and rushing
I just like rushing on my horse ahead of everyone and teleport everyone while they did quest for Gilda stars.
The Archeage launch wasn't crazy at all....it definitely didn't take a toll on anyone to make them hate the game
I want another launch day just like it! The hype, the planning, the excitement, oh and the week off of work for it! haha
If you guys have another start like this, can I be on the other side again. I like going vs people who provide a challenge =P
They're merging servers tomorrow at 4PM EST. It was suppose to be today but you know how Trion is with launches. But yea, another land rush.
