Every game I play seems to have a big feature or two that really gets me on the hook. I've been watching a few videos of the gameplay and some reviews of it and even though it has a lot of depth, I dont see a feature that has really made me go "wow, now I gotta see what this is all about!"
I think its because just due to the vast amount of things you can do in the game, most reviews and videos are just skimming the surface. So im asking those of you who are playing, whats the ONE thing thats in the game that has set its hooks into you?

Completely agree with the above, my favorite part is boats/sailing too, but it's definitely not an easy choice, there's so much done right that it's easy to ignore whats not done right (imo)
The first 20 lvl's are very easy, but very fast to level through. The game really opens up after 20 and then it actually gets kinda hard. Now I hate questing and linear quest paths, but for some reason it doesn't bother me much in those 20 levels. I think it's because it goes by so fast.
looking back that was really the one thing that stuck out to me, just wish I could see more. I'll have to dig around YouTube. oddly enough, stealing crops also seemed, well, fun
The sheer complexity of crafting. Get a garden (farm) to raise geese, need to feed the geese so raise beans. Some get sick have make medicine. Whoops cant make that until you have a farmer's workbench. Once you have that you need to grow 3 other types of materials.
And boats.....
Dude, calm down!
I really like the arrow under my character's feet that tells me where to go.
Without it I would have no idea what to do.

The demise of mmorpgs was WoWs questhelper. Every game has an arrow now and destroys the immerions imho. I'm glad you like it though, anyone with the name stayBlind should probably need one.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Open World Housing.
Open World PvP even against your own faction if they piss you off.
Gliders and the mechanics behind them.
How big the world feels.
The fact that crafting is tied to every part of the game.
Oh wait, you said one thing that hits a home run.. Pick one, your choice they all do.
Lets see your Battle Stations /r/battlestations

And this game is an explorers dream as well as an rpers dream.

Yes but its area based. Meaning you don't want to fight? Stay out of warzones and stick to your starting continent.Any mmo worth its salt should be like a good prostitute when it comes to its game world- One hell of a faker, and a damn good shaker!

This sounds great. How much of the map is open to explore currently?Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

It's so hard to narrow it down, but the fact that you can see crazy far into the distance, with mountains looking like huge mountains should, and everything properly to scale to give the feeling of an absolutely immense world... that's what does it for me.
It also helps that I can see a player riding up on their horse miles away when I'm on the top of a cliff, or a player boat way off on the horizon. Waiting for the airship and seeing players glide around the zone getting from point to point. Running by farms and seeing people raising cattle, watering plants, etc. It all just gives that world feeling that is necessary for an MMO to feel right. Nobody has to rush. Very rarely do games get this right, and ArcheAge has solidified it.
I also love the fact that the combat feels weighty and every strike is devastating to the enemy. It has a really satisfying feel to it.

Pretty much ^^ This ^^ for me too
Not yet far in the game (L12), but I just love the farming thing. Questing is so-so (somewhat generic) as well as (PvE) combat. But the feeling that this game holds quite a lot of sand makes up for it all.
I know I'm gonna get laughed at but I love saltwater fishing from a fishing boat!

It feels like I'm in a world. Not some squared off zone.
