Originally posted by gaeanprayer Wasn't the most recent gripe about this game that it WASN'T sandbox enough?

Let's not forget the terrible instances that most sandbox players hate.
There are at least three instances dungeons in Archeage at the moment.
Edit
Where the hell is my player made fraction that they mentioned ages ago?!
Players start off in one of two ready made factions. Eventually players can break off from their factions and join an Expeditionary Force made up of other players, or even become an outlaw and join a Pirate faction. The system wasn't fully implemented in CBT4 so we wait an see. Probably won't be playable in-game until open beta.

Ok I guess I can live with some instances, as long as there are some non-instanced dungeons. I have always preached diversity, so as long as i get a diverse range of content i cant complain about a few instanced dungeons. Its just that so many devs have abused instances it makes me sick to my stomach.

Don't bet money on MMOs my friend, people should know better by now.
Might not be so bad, if we could get some professional odds-makers in.
AA's been hanging out in vaporspace too long to do very well on the odds boards, probably. The Duke Nukem of mmos?
OTOH, how long has Blizzard been dangling that Titan bait out there?
Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
The game concept appeals to me but I still don't have much faith in it. Even in the event that they could instantly localize it for english markets I still wouldn't be betting money on it doing well. The trailers all look crap as does the website. Recent games like dark age, mo and xyson all demonstrated to me how shallow the gameplay is for such games and how bad the communities tend to be and none of them were a "success" story. Based on the games I mentioned I also think the perceived market for similar games is larger than the actual market. All and all if I could trust you I would take some of that action.
OP sopunds like the countless proclaimations of how SWTOR would be the second coming of Christ and we all know how that story ended. Beleive it when I see it.

While I am a huge fan of AA, I am also a guarded one. Until I get my hands on and see what happens to the final version I make no proclamations of the 'second coming', much as I may want to thaere are just too many ways to screw the pooch.
A month after Korean/Chinese release will we get to see the finished product. The opinions will start to matter then. As well, depends on which Production Company they sign with in the west whether we see a 'second coming' or a 'second fall'.
Im betting all my money on this sandbox game, i strongly believe this is the second coming of the christ for sandbox games.
No im not just spouting nonsense, im dead serious serious serious. Cant wait for it to come to USA.
I'm with the others, While I certainly hope this game really delivers, I am very, very, very skeptical of both sanxbox games, korean games, and any hype about any mmo these days. I'll belive it when I see it I guess, talk comes cheap in regards to mmos these days.
Dude, be careful with betting, sometimes you have to control yourself. Sometimes greediness makes people lose at such times when they could win. So if you won enough money just stop on time and if there is enough good profit, stop on time not to lose the money you won already. I bet very often to win money and I use promo codes and bonuses https://bet-country.com/dk/bonus/leovegas which increases my win very significantly.

You think? ArcheAge Unchained is way better, and people still tend to sell and buy archeage accounts. Regardless, of what the devs think about it. Some gamers have just way too much money, so they can spend it reasonably. Devs might not be perfect, in fact, they sure aren't, but the playersbase, I mean, the players should know better than to just throw their money away... But after all, that's not mine money, neither are yours Rivalen, so who are we to care? Guess there's no medicine to stupidity, am I right?

k, i am rising all your money by a cent - and i wanna see!
"believe me, mike.. i calculated the odds of this working against the odds that i was doing something incredibly stupid and i did it anyway!"
I'm right with you!I too am willing to bet all your money on this game and all your possessions too!
