Adventurers, we're working on last-minute network checks and will open the #ArcheAge servers to Founders soon. Thanks for your patience!

I'm logged in. Can't launch yet. Servers not up.

Grabbed Tasmanian and Troy names.

This is both highly unlikely timewise and inaccurate Patron wise.

What's the difference between patron and general?

As soon as I mentioned "Farmville", my wife's interest peaked. So. . . . tell me more about this 'farming' please.

Seriously. Tell me now. She's excited. She wants to farm all day and make money. She was our sugar momma in UO. She funded pretty much all of our activities.

She's crackin' me up. She's considering having me buy it now so she can play it. And if she doesn't like it, then I would just play it. The draw of Farmville is strong.

Level 11. Got a house blue print and a farm blueprint. headed to two crowns.

Insane amount of people on the server. Quest bottleknecks annoying as hell but doable.

And yes, it's farmville, if she likes farms she's going to like it.

When this game gets boring i'm going to become a pirate.

When do you see it getting boring?

Just watched a video on farming. Is it worth it to coordinate who's growing what? I can grow food, someone else grows livestock, etc. Can you share gold earned from resources?

South two crowns full, going to north. Room for a small farm here or there maybe.

Holy shit. Insane. North Two Crowns a cluster, but I grabbed what I could:

Taking a break and then doing this again. Halfway there.

There is a spot in central two crowns that was more open. I'll shoot to save room for the farmhouse there.

Or I can plan on canceling the house and place the eventual 2 large farms there and that would be good guild farming space.

Was trying to buy the silver, but it keeps saying that it can't process it right now. Try again later. Went to the forums and was reading about the log in queues. Seems these servers are already full. With Troy not finding much space. . . is the head start advantage over now?

One question someone asked "Who cares about the queue wait right now. What's going to happen when all the free players try to join?"

Yikes. Post after post bashing the launch. Of course. Has there EVER been a successful launch?! But, all the people reporting all land is used up. That's worrying. A few posts declaring the head start over as well. What are your experiences in game? Over reacting players, or are things that bad in there?

Post by **Troy** » Fri Sep 12, 2014 5:17 pm

There is a lot of room. I'm sure everyone had there hopes set on very particular spots. Like for example, those two spots in red are totally used up.

It's going to take people a while to figure out new places to live - but there are housing zones everwhere.

For every page of complaints I read, two more pages appear. Early comments "Trion will not open any new servers". Later "Trion is considering opening new servers".

Kind of shying away from dropping the $50 on the game ($100 if my wife liked playing it. She was having me try it first). Long wait times, crashes, etc. Gettin' ugly! But, then, of course I'm only being exposed to the worst of it. No one is taking the time to post how awesome things are. Lots of people calling for refunds, new servers and a restart with the $150 people getting top priority.

I can understand though. If I paid money months ago and had plans, I'd be pissed if I wasn't able to play at all today and watch my plans fall apart. Of course there was no guarantee they were getting anything. But not being able to log in at all does guarantee they don't get what they hoped for.

So, those spots were popular because they were close to the NPC vendors and work benches? Any other advantages?

Centralized and close to the water/pvp areas I would guess.
