You can place beds in houses to help restore labor points, place unique crafting stations in the house, place chests for storage, and an auctioneer/warehouse manager whatever that is, and a recall location. so there is uses for the actual house.

That made me laugh twice.
Once when I read it, and again when I realized it's not a horrible question.

I believe they stated the idea was to set your own goals, UO style. But it's true - no in game goals + I finished the quest line last closed beta (with 50 Gildar).
I understand there will be large scale territory pvp on the nothern continent at some point. Shadowbane style. But that part of the world won't even be open at launch.

Ok, houses appear to be instanced farming. In other words, you farm there and no one can bother you. You quest, and can not be bothered. No pvp or loot stealing. You craft items and put it on a global auction, so no player run markets. Current PVP is on ships on the water. Loot is cargo the ships may have been carrying. Do you lose your ship if it sinks? Can the ship be stolen if they kill everyone on board? There will be a pvp zone on land, at some point, like Shadowbane did, which sucked.
So, this seems like WoW with houses and farming. How far off am I?

Its hard to answer all of the questions you have. None of us really got into the PvP portion of the game yet as it doesn't even really start until level 30. All i can say is do a little research for yourself and maybe you will find the answers you're looking for.Cakedaddy wrote:How far off am I?
Try looking at the Reddit page:

Or just play the game when you can and see for yourself. Just to give it a fair shot though, you need to play more than just the first 10 levels. If you have preconceived notions of what it will be then you will not like the game. If you're looking for UO, then i'd say move along because nothing is as good as that for you guys and never will be.
I can say that i'm pretty sure that F2P will work out for a little while for most of us. But as we get further into it the labor points gains for a F2P player are going to be limiting. So if you think that is enough to make it P2W then don't play it. I know that i enjoyed the time with the game even though i played mostly solo in a game meant for teamwork.
I know that this game is centralized around PvP when you get to endgame. I've read it on the forums and heard many streamers say the same thing. They say if your not into the PvP then just turn away now. So this gives me hope. I can only play it out and see what this game really has to offer and make my decision at that point.
I can't really be concerened with trying to get others on this forum to like the game. We have tried that with many other games and most of the time people are just haters and look for reasons to hate on a game. LOL was the only game that got anyone to play together for an extended period and that will prolly be the last.
WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
LoL sucks qtiyd
But seriously, I agree that Archeage seems to have some issues, but the farmville carebears will be there, and the pirates will be there. Add in a sandboxy system and require the two to interact to make money and boom, what is that MMO term about players making their own stories?

While I absolutely agree with that sentiment, it's natural for folks who had an amazing experience with a game to compare other games in that genre to it, and expect a certain standard.
If we all went to play DOTA2 right now, we'd all inevitably compare things negatively to what we got used to in LoL. You included.
Sure there are folks who simply hate anything new and don't give things a chance, but I think the fact that he has downloaded the game and is asking questions here shows a willingness to give it a chance.
Let the man ask his questions especially since they're not absolutely baseless.
What date does this launch again? This game didn't blow my skirt up in beta, but I'm more than willing to give it another shot. I'll be on that night.

I think i'll save my Gilda stars and skip the early house. Instead i'll do two characters, one after the other to level 10. Get small farms, place them, and then get both characters into large farms(will take a while). Will block off enough for the large farmhouse and have that be the eventual goal.
Maybe i'll have to use the second guy's 15 Gilda and place the basic scaffolding if things start getting cramped? Still not sure.

I guess this counts as a spoilers so i'll tag it
"Secret" Intel I found on the beta forums These are the ingredients for trade missions. It's kind of off, like trimmed meat gets made even easier now, but those resource locations are nice.
Point seems to be the crafting materials are out in the world anyway, so you can do the trade quests without a farm, possibly quickly.

Also the first reply is awesome. NO DON'T SHARE YOU'LL RUIN IT FOR EVERYONE
