Archage is an unofficial server. Selecting a server in the game ArcheAge

So what is the reason for the dissatisfaction on the part of the players and the constant departures from the servers?

Let's start from the very beginning, when only . As we remember, all the servers were crowded and closed, everyone tried to play this “miracle”, the conquest of lands and seas began, the first sieges, everyone could find a place in the game. And then the servers were opened. Here I immediately remember how I was carried away by a crowd of schoolboys and rednecks, which completely killed the atmosphere of the game. And these are not all the reasons.

Online began to fall, forums were emptying, Mailovites decided to conduct surveys about the game, everyone wanted to get “hardcore”. My guess is that most fans of "hardcore gaming" think of the term not as a special level of difficulty, but as a new degree to which one can humiliate other players. That is, this is a very “pornographic” idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe term, where the essence of the excitement lies not in overcoming difficult challenges, but in the very fact of being on top and dominating newcomers. This gave the “natives” a free hand and continued to kill the game.

After a while, all the normal players left, and the strong ones tried to hold back, because many wanted to take the places of the “higher caste.” But alas, there are very few noble guilds left now.

Another problem is Mail.ru themselves. Was it necessary to localize the game like that?! Even updates can’t save it (many will agree with this). There are few people on the servers, but why? Why don't people like Mail.ru? Right, donate. It limits the possibilities of the game. Here are some examples: let's say you play without a premium account. At the same time, you can’t do much in the game without a house, scarecrow, etc., and all this is only possible with a premium account. Fair? - no, as for me.

The following example: I think everyone has encountered fishing in the game, crafting a fishing rod and clicking for hours, so, in a donation store you can buy a fishing rod that will click for you. Now you tell me “Why did you get to the bottom of the fishing rod? You can do a macro on a mouse!”. So, on Korean servers, any fishing rod catches itself and there is no need to donate.

The next reason will be a “single player” who does not understand the game process and constantly sits in the peaceful zone and “sluts” the game for its boring gameplay. But, dear friend, we only play with 6 people, but we sail the seas carrying cargo, look for treasures near sinking ships, build castles... We always had something to do. And you don’t need to kill time stupidly completing quests and farming. There’s nothing that can be done about it now, the monotony has killed the game.

In general, it was all about painful issues related to the problems of the game.

Now let's move on to the news itself, Mail.ru's rather desperate move to merge servers December 3, 2014.

“My guild and I were not happy about this news, but nevertheless the developers warned us, and we began to prepare for this.”

The small amount of online on the servers forced the developers to combine the servers, they decided that it would be better and more economical for everyone, but that was not the case, you should have seen what was happening in the first days after the merger - complete CHAOS! Guilds disintegrated, people became unhappy because they had lost everything, people left the game. Whoever had time, ate it - all the lands were occupied by construction in the very first days, such was going on in the world that the developers themselves could make films for Hollywood.

What do I mean by this? Yes, all this is useless. This will not save the game while it is in the hands of such greedy people, and if you decide to play, then only with a premium account and ONLY WITH FRIENDS! If you want to try your luck in " new history"then welcome to the new server ArcheAge. It was created just for this, where you will start on equal terms with everyone, without wasting your nerves.

There are several criteria by which you can select a server in Archeage

In many MMO One of the main questions that new players face is the question of which server to choose. And here there are a lot of criteria by which you have to choose. Moreover, the most difficult thing is that these criteria are mutually exclusive. But let's understand everything in order.

On at the moment, the game has 12 servers (at least the official ones, which are available to Russian-speaking players). And at all there is some advantage of players who chose Western mainland. Biggest difference now on Lucia– here 58% of players are “Western”. The smallest spread on Glenn– here on the Western Mainland only 52% of users play. But this does not have much impact on the gameplay. Much more important is how full the server is (by the number of players), as well as the date of its appearance.

Server selection criteria

A server with a huge number of players has its advantages: quick selection of parties and guilds; and cons: high ping...

To begin with, we will look at the features of those servers on which there are many players.

On the plus side, when playing on a densely populated server, it’s always easier for you to find a group in a dungeon, in PvP, or somewhere else.

It's also easier to find a guild that's right for you.

But there is one disadvantage that is always associated with a large online presence - these are relatively frequent crashes, high ping, and other problems that high load on the server creates.

One of these problems (perhaps the most unpleasant) is that the more players there are, the more various “inadequacies” (as they are often called) - those who create problems for others simply for the sake of “fun”.

A server with a small number of gamers in Archeage also has its advantages: stable connection without crashes, few players and enemies, more resources and rare mobs, lower competition; and disadvantages: it takes a long time to find a party, there are few guilds

Low-population servers have other advantages and other disadvantages.

One of the problems is that it is more difficult for you to find a group here, and there are fewer guilds here, which is also not very pleasant.

But the connection is much more stable (since the server is not overloaded), the chances of stumbling upon a bored ganker (a lover of free PvP) from the opposite faction are also less, in addition, it is easier to mine resources, hunt for rare mobs and other similar things, since it is much lower competition.

Now let’s talk about how the choice of server is influenced by the date of its opening.

In general, everything is simple here. On older servers there are many more experienced players, which can create a lot of problems for newbies, even just out of boredom. On the other hand, on new servers there are more inexperienced players, and the conditions are more equal. But here another problem arises. A new server (almost always) has a lot of players. So what should you choose in the end?

Conclusions

A newer server with not the highest online availability is best for a beginner - the competition here is not the highest, and there are fewer strong players with whom it would be more difficult to compete. In principle, for those who want to calmly get used to the game, we can recommend Ashyara, Gartarein or Kiproza. So, choose the one you like best - and go ahead!

At the time of writing this note, more than twenty servers are already open in the Russian version of ArcheAge. Their number will vary depending on the popularity of the game, but some general advice can be given on choosing the world in which you will live.

Early access to ArcheAge was opened on February 16 - on this day, the developers launched nine servers, which brought together the most active and organized fans of the game. Here are the names of these worlds: Lucius, Cyprosa, Melisara, Tayan, Aranzebia, Ollo, Anna, Aranzeb, Inoch. It is these servers that can be called the most active in trading, PvP, various events, etc. Separately, it is worth noting the Lucius server, which many strong guilds from other online games initially agreed to go to - PvP on this server promises to be especially hot.

But when choosing a server from the “top nine”, do not forget about one important circumstance - the competition for them will be especially high, and in order to “break out into the crowd” you will have to spend a lot of effort. One of the features of ArcheAge is the system of houses and agriculture, for which a limited number of territories in the game world are used. Get good site on the servers listed above it is most difficult - you will either have to search for a long time for a free piece of land or turn to resellers who require a lot of money. So for a more casual style of play, we recommend any server that is not in the top 9.

At this stage of development of the game in the vastness of our country it works Russian server ArcheAge online, where players can take part in beta testing. You can sign up for this testing on the Russian website of the game ArcheAge http://aa.mail.ru/ .

During beta testing, real players will be able to try out gameplay, understand the features of the game and help correct inaccuracies, if any, during the adaptation of the game to the territory of our homeland. Free ArcheAge server created in order to introduce the game to Russian-speaking users with the least amount of lags and errors.

Initially, during closed and open beta testing, in the homeland of the game, our compatriots could join the game on ArcheAge servers for a monthly fee. This brought a lot of inconvenience. But now, everyone who is looking forward to the release of the game can try themselves in the role of one or another character on the free ArcheAge server.

Development and replenishment of ArcheAge online servers

In the future, with the development and spread of the game More ArcheAge servers will appear, which will allow you to diversify the MMORPG gaming universe. Players are trying to quickly get into the game and connect to pirated servers. Be patient and wait for that moment when a proven one comes out ArcheAge server.

Attention!

With the announcement of the localization of the game, many pirate servers appeared in our country. Try to join Russian servers ArcheAge online who are being tested or to their official Korean “brothers”.

Very often, new players exploring the world of ArcheAge have questions about choosing a server for the game. There are quite a lot of servers, and despite the fact that in evening time they all have a busy status [Average] - online is actually different for them.

The official localizer answers all questions about the number of players on a particular server evasively and never gives even approximate numbers. The most common answer to this question is:

In this regard, I am publishing a small table with observations from several days (September 2017): the load status of game worlds was checked at different times of the day.

Unfortunately, there is no exact information about the capacity of a particular server - it may be different, and the threshold for changing the load status will differ from this. There is also no data on the numerical value of online: once there was information that the maximum ArcheAge servers were 5,000 online players. If you have more accurate information about the quantitative capacity of Archage servers, write about it in the comments.

Archage online servers (in descending order):

Top online - the Hase server (the last one to open), even Lucius (the undisputed leader of past times) and Aria “slide” to low load status in the early morning.
