Got an info update about Archeage today, you can sign up to receive email notices of new information for western release of the game.

I was really excited about this game but over time lost interest in MMOs in general because of the time investment required to achieve pretty much anything.

Archeage seems too interesting to pass up though, from the trailers and gameplay I've seen it looks like it could pass off as the "mabinogi 2" people actually wanted with all the freedom and large amount of content.

Interested in making a Nation town Osay? Or will you just ravage all the woman on your pirate ship?

I dunno yet.
Having some huge "Mabinogi" guild that plays Archeage instead of the shitty excuse of a mabinogi2 we're getting would be cool, but pillaging as a pirate would be awesome too.

Why do I get all these difficult choices :(

Wait... you can actually go around and rape female players in that game? That's a bit sick...

Don't see an issue with subscription when most people readily pay a bajillion $ for cash shop stuff in most f2p games.
If it slightly reduces the player base then good, this game has no channels and locks you out if it's too full so a nice little barrier of monthly payments should help with that.

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS.

I can't believe how pretentious f2p gamers get about how much money they're not paying, only to realize one day that they've literally poured buckets of money away over the years.

Playing various f2p games, I can tell you that I am absolutely sick of that suffocating feeling where the game constantly reminds you every 5 minutes that your experience could be better if you shelled out money. And there is no limit to this feeling, as they specifically design the games to nag at your subconscious desire to pay to win.

Having some some subscription games, I haven't felt this, ever. All the features you'd pay for individually for a sum price of "lots of money" is just wrapped up in a nice package of a low monthly fee.

I know some people are an exception. I know I was. I barely paid my f2p game services anything. But a recent thread here on nation that calculates how much money you've spent on mabinogi alone shows that many of us were surprised to find they've dropped thousands of dollars without even realizing it.

Free to play games feel like incomplete games. You get 75% of the game, and you have to constantly shell out money to buy each individual 1% until you feel the remaining 25% is filled. Because these microtransactions usually are limited in duration or use, you will end up buying more the next month. Its a nasty model. One that I try my best to avoid now.

"Most people". Sure.
