I just received the email from KGB and I went to the ArcheAge website. It seems intriguing and I'm thinking about playing, but I don't want to spend $150 on a game I have never heard of before.

So far it seems like a cross between Ultima Online and Dark Age of Camelot. Is this accurate? Also, are they going to be wiping the game between Alpha, Beta, and live?

Bump.

This game peaked my interest so figured I'd see if the KGB was active in it. Glad to see you are.

Not really wanting to blindly drop $150 though. Or curious if any of you in the Alpha have any inclination as to when the beta might possibly go live? Because I'd grab the silver pack to start playing.

Beta will be weekend events only alpha will continue till launch and turn into the test server. So it will be separate servers and only beta will be wiped. The game is well worth the price and the items you receive with the 150.00 package makes it only seem like $30.00 for alpha involvement.

It is more than worth the $150. If you are mainly holding out for Beta, I would say just to get an Alpha account. If you don't, I would probably say it is best to just wait until release rather than purchasing a weekends only pass (Beta) while Alpha will still take place on the weekdays in between.

Sure is Mr Barbie Girl hahahaha.

I did some research on the game and watched some streams prior to making the commitment, and then I dropped the 150 bucks and havent regretted it since. You get a lot of value for release with the alpha founders pack. And the KGB brand on alpha is already strong :)

It's a fun game so far, just hoping people stick with it longer then a month after release.

The fact that it's an Alpha release and not for keeps is a deterring factor to pouring hours and hours grinding away, no matter how enjoyable the grind is. Basically, get to 50, get your gear squared away, get your couple of class builds attuned and enjoy the rest of Alpha running around with KGB on weekly outings until we get a live launch.

Anyone who decides to lead this faction will be charged with a game plan and outlining the first 30-60-90 day goals and delegating the crafting/harvesting roles via whatever means best suits the game mechanics and team agenda.

Based on how we play, you probably need to find someone to lead the tactical and field command portion of this title and when we step out into open PvP, there be one voice commanding the stacks and all others follow.

Learn from the history of KGB in open field PvP titles...

Sound words.

Hopefully not Deaf Ears.

DFO was not a shining example of KGB field leadership. People are going to have to check the BS and Ego at the door and stop being a pack of feral cats and do what they are being told. Discussion can happen after the engagement. It was the one key element in DFO that we really did poorly on time in and time out after the big engagements in early EU DFO.

TLDR; More like UO and SB, less like DFO.

what class set up does aoe healing? Seems the other side always does AOE healing. I've noticed that a lot in skirmishes in HellSwamp.

Do we have any dedicated aoe healing for PVP raids?

Also yes - goal is to get to 50, and test and get comfy with PVP.

Work and real life has been some what inhibiting my ability to play as much as I would like.

However, when live game releases I will cash in some of them brownie points with my wife to buy in game time :)

I agree, personally I am trying to get back to the basics of why I game, namely fun and friends, and the glory of us as a whole. I miss why I first got into online gaming and I want to get back to that and worry less about making myself look good. Some people will never let me find that peace, and that's fine if they want to continue that negative mindset, however I won't let it stop me from trying to find that piece of me I lost touch with.

KGB has shown itself to be stronger than I am due to it's longevity, that is something to take pride in, but also something we need to live up to by evolving, and remaining true to the best qualities of this clan. stay together, and play smarter not harder. use tactics that are proven, and communicate, help each other, and stay committed, not just in guild/on the oracle but most importantly in game. Being divided in game, or between games and only playing a game for a month hurts us every time.

A little visit from the High King more often couldn't hurt either

TLDR: KGB is good I hope I can be too.

Yeah, I will be spending less time in Alpha. I will continue to do the weekly pvp outings if possible, gonna continue doing my farm and making money to get some gear etc.

Now that I am 50, I will be stepping back from the game a bit until its the final product.

Unfortunately I will be gone memorial day weekend. So it will be awhile before I can pvp with you guys again

Im basically in the same boat. Until we set some goals as a clan like trying to grab a piece of land etc, I will be spending less time in game until live.

Donk uses Jet's account for alpha

^This

Pretty much enjoy experimenting in Alpha and dabble to get an idea of the meta. Run around with us on the usual weekend runs. Maybe we do some dungeons over the next weeks in addition to stack pvp.

Is Uber playing?

Yes

I will be playing at release with my fancy account. Currently Donk is using it until then.
