    It may be true that this could turn out to be a fairly well-populated filler game. It may also be true that it could turn into a successful division.

    So far there have been 14 people who are more or less committed to playing the game:
    In order of appearance in this thread:
    01. Kyoji
    02. PersonalRiot
    03. Regis
    04. trancet
    05. Ravinis
    06. Maniach
    07. Areli
    08. SakurabaKazushi
    09. kharma
    10. Tzepic
    11. Gankfest
    12. decoyninja
    13. Erock
    14. Retsah
    There have also been 6 people who expressed interest in the game:
    Also in the same order:
    01. Xpunga
    02. Vangelis
    03. Zechs
    04. FriendlyFire
    05. haibane
    06. TwilightAngel

    I'm also going, to at the very least, try to get into it and so is one of my friends, so you can add the two of us to the first list. We already have 22 potential members, of whom I know that one has led a (successful?) division in the past -- Kyoji. I know that he can't lead the division due to his current position in XoO, however he could potentially offer advice to whomever steps up to lead.

    I wonder -- if it doesn't turn into a supported division, but becomes successful anyway, will it be possible to initiate some of the better recruits into XoO. And if yes, who'll handle their applications.

    Sorry; I might not have been clear on my initial post (linked below). The key word is hope. Xen doesn't particularly have the membership base for kMMOs anymore after most of the Aion/Tera/RF Online players left or disappeared over time. We were lucky to form a FF14 division with the help and numbers that Owainn brought in when it first started. That was done mostly through merging with a group of already active and dedicated players. Most of Xen now is comprised of Planetside 2 players (nothing wrong with that; I myself played Planetside 1) who venn diagram of gaming likely doesn't have Archage in the center. Along with players who are focused on Star Citizen.

    But truth be told; we never had a large membership base for any of those games (eastern games). We always ran small squad operations and most people loved it. As for as I know the new division requirements are fairly opposed to small XoO guilds which I mentioned is fine.


    Just excited to play. If I get to party up with some Xoobies at the same time. Even better.

    Edit: To be fair, I don't think I would enjoy being in a large division like the current status quo. Thought it tapers off anyways I guess.

    I will lead the game if needed. Also the only current division we really have is PS2. Star Citizen is a year away from release and the DFM seems to have been pushed back or delayed. The DFM doesn't seem like it would be something that could hold my interest till release so ArcheAge would be a great game to get into during the time difference. Even still I think ArcheAge and games like it could easily hold their own against a space sim game.

    The question is whether we want to get into the game, wait for Black Desert or another similar game or just pass on it. During the meeting I will go into an honest review of the game based on reviews I have found discussing the KR version. Granted some may change with the US version it at least gives you an idea of what to expect.

    Also I would like to point out that it would be healthy for us to get into at least one other game so we can build back up our recruitment base.

    I would recommend no one buying the game unless you are dead set on playing it until the meeting later tomorrow.

    Looks like alpha is going on now. So buying the $149 version allows you to play alpha today.

    Sure, it's possible to pay the exorbitant alpha-access fee, but it's also possible to sign up to the beta for free -- all you have to do is scroll down to the very end of the official page and register.

    Well yeah that is true. I guess it depends on how much extra money you have and how bored you are. =P

    I myself am low on funds so it will be a week before I can buy sadly. Sad badger is sad.

    Pirating. Looks sick even if the beginning does appear to be a little glitchy.

    Looks really cool, but is it trying to be too many things?

    So my experience has been amazing so far

    I am now lvl 23 ( same as I am on ESO release if that goes to show you my enjoyment )

    It feels like a mix of old school UO / SWG / WOW super hybrid ... some of it is still bugged but it is so far a ton of fun for me ( which has really not happen in years for a MMO )

    I am enjoying myself and if anyone else has alpha let me know ... I do not know a whole lot about the game but I can help out with any questions that I have figured out

    Not sure if it was mentioned or not, but do you know if XoO is going to roll East or West?

    Still undecided. We'll probably decide that (among other things) during the first meeting in the middle of next month.

    Logical. I've got a ton of experience playing the KR CBT and retail, so I'd be happy to answer any questions that maybe google cant.

    This might help newer people as well: LINK
