Trion Worlds and XL Games' crooked juries MMO ArcheAge has known some troubles since their launch last week - though nothing too out of the ordinary for any game of that scale - and the developers of Lineage are hard at work at addressing your issues.
Preview: A Look At ArcheAge's Four Races' Starting Zones
Yes, ArcheAge has been very busy! The starter zones filling up with samey underwear-clad noobs all running around for those same boars and scorpions to kill just to get to that sweet, sweet sandbox portion of the game have been causing some server lagginess, on top of the earlier reported instanes of DDOS attacks (which seem to be under control for the moment). One of the big things that have been introduced is that players who are AFK during character creation are booted to free up server space.
Trion has also addressed the far higher-than-expected Patron prices. Unlike a Founder's one-time payment, the contribution a Patron pays is monthly. In return, a player with Patron status gets bonuses like a 10% XP increase and faster labor speeds. Trion had said in a prerelease livestream that monthly prices would be comparable to their other game, Rift. Turns out they were about 20% higher! A one month Patron package will now cost £8.99, with three month and six month options priced at £23.97 and £41.94.
