    Maybe because those games are nearly 15 years old and a large % of the current MMO playerbase has probably never heard of them. A 20 year old person would have been 3 when UO came out and 7 when DAoC came out.

    On a side note any guild that advertises being "hardcore" at anything is probably pretty mediocre, good guilds don't need to advertise like this as their reputation generally speaks for itself.

    This game is going to lead to zerg guilds though, there is already one on the beta server I play on.

    Obviously your not hardcore enough to have been playing at that age, you now fail at life.

    But yeah the zergs suck. It was fun when most of the zergs were in the 20-30 level range. And you could just carve a war path through them all with a small group of high levels.

    http://www.archeagegame.com/en/news/...-beta-event-4/

    It’s important to note that invites to CBE3 will not be valid for CBE4, but we are expecting that this event will be twice as large as the last event with even randomly-selected invitations for fans who signed up on the official ArcheAge website. Partner site giveaways of CBE4 codes will begin Wednesday, August 20 at Alienware, Razer, Rixty, MMORPG.com, PCGamesN, MMOHuts, MMOGames, OnRPG. Additionally, our Alpha and Founder players will have access to all of Beta.

    so tomorrow the giveaways will start. keep your eyes open tomorrow!!!

    Game is pretty sick, bought the silver pack through steam, and pretty hyped for the launch.

    Just a tip: do not burn yourself out during the beta, especially if you have purchased a founders pack!

    Quick question since I really only played for a hour or 2; can you fight other players at sea in your boat, or in the air?

    Agreed!
    I got to level 10 and stopped playing. Haven't touched it at all since. Not for lack of like, but so I can keep it fresh on release.

    Ended up just not really digging the early stuff in the game. I'd like to get to the fun stuff, but there's this barrier of tedium before it.

    Played last beta weekend, really enjoyed it. I was considering the Archeum pack for alpha access to keep playing it, but with the announcement of this beta weekend I keep seeing people say open beta/release will be coming very quickly. How founded do you guys think that is? I don't want to make a purchase and regret it down the road.

    Personally I don't think the release is close, they weren't even done with the localization for the pre-1.0 content when they launched alpha and they're planning to launch with 1.2. My bet would be on December or even early next year.

    But everyone is just guessing, the fact that they have a few beta events in quick succession doesn't mean anything at all.

    I got my key the day before beta was supposed to launch, but I grabbed another on a giveaway before that.

    A nice, big 8.56GB update (or 800MB) hit the Alpha yesterday, the patch notes might seem 'small' but the reason for the 8GB updates are explained later, first, Patch notes

    ArcheAge Version 1.2 Build 4.6: Patch Notes

    GENERAL

    * This update includes the behind-the-scenes data needed to play ArcheAge in French and German!
    - The function to set your client language to French or German is coming in a Glyph update shortly.
    * Updated text to latest localization.
    * Shortened the maximum length of chat channel text in a single entry to reduce ultra-long blocks of chatspam.
    * Reduced NPC sell-back price of Any-Post Owl to 10 copper.

    NOTES

    * This patch is about 800MB large and will be deployed to Alpha on August 19
    Source: http://forums.archeagegame.com/showt....6-Patch-Notes

    This explains why it's an 8.5GB download initially and then 800MB later on:

    Glyph Patcher Update: No More 24GB Downloads!

    Today, we're pleased to be pushing a Glyph update that eliminates the 24GB full downloads, includes the repair feature for ArcheAge, and significantly improves recovery of cancelled or interrupted downloads

    The patcher will require an 8GB ArcheAge download today, to convert you to the new system. When we update Alpha to 4.6 later this week, it will only be 900MB instead of another full update. Future updates will also be smaller in this same manner.

    If you're having issues patching or launching ArcheAge, please be sure to fully restart Glyph to get the latest version.
    Source: http://forums.archeagegame.com/showt...839#post307839


    The Dev responsible for Glyph then added this:

    A little more information: the 8 GB update is actually a full redownload of what you already have (4.5). It's a pain, I know, but it's part of the ongoing effort to improve patching. The good news is that in the future, a full redownload will always be 8 GB, not 24 GB. Patches between versions will also be smaller.

    If you have any questions or problems, you can email me at cswiedler@trionworld.com

    So I've read on another website that CBT4 is supposed to be the last CBT event. Does anyone know anything more about it?

    ArcheAge sure likes to troll you with the beta. Getting all excited seeing ArcheAge and beta weekend in the same title just to get redirected to their bullshit founders packs =_=

    I kinda wish the invites they gave out would be keys. I haven't used my last 2 invites and can't give them away as it's already tied to my account.
