New Screenshots from ArcheAge.com
Well what do we have here? A fresh new batch of screenshots showing off some of the features players can expect to see during CBT4? Yes, that’s exactly what we have! How’d you know? 
Anyhow, it looks like we’ll get a new ship type to sail on (likely meant for quick transportation), new locales to explore (Hariharan towns, mountains), the infamous upside-down hang glider, and more!
Another Interview with Jake Song on Massively
ArcheAge news has been slow recently, for good reason: XLGAMES is focused on developing the game and getting it back into beta testers’ hands. They haven’t really had the free time to chat with the press, especially Western press, until now. Massively lined up a rather interesting, exclusive interview with the big man himself, Jake Song, and now you get to read the results. Here’s a preview:
Is localization mostly an issue of translating the text and UI, or will actual game mechanics change as well?
Jake Song: ArcheAge is still under development, and the publisher for the Western market is not decided for now, so maybe it is a bit early to answer the question. But I do understand the importance of localization. We have to figure out data such as each country’s features, its IT environment and so on, as well as find out the best way to service ArcheAge.
But above all that, we should finish development and find a publisher who will partner with us to introduce [and distribute] ArcheAge to Western players.
Three more ArcheAge races revealed!
The ArcheAge community has known the names of all eight races for a long time, but we weren’t sure what they all looked like. With these three images, now we can easily recognize all but two of ArcheAge’s eight planned races! Those last two races, however, have also been revealed in a roundabout way…
The Hariharans are humans like the Nuians, but they hate each others’ guts (the reasons behind the Hariharan schism haven’t been revealed yet). Hariharans are very Eastern fantasy themed compared to the more Western fantasy trope that the Nuians embody, and they also happen to preside over ArcheAge’s eastern continent, uniting the races that live there under a single banner. This race values family, responsibility and respect above all else, and prefers to use lighter weapons and armor than the Nuians.
Dwarves in ArcheAge are similar to Dwarves in other games. Really, any other kind of Dwarf would probably cause Tolkien to rise from the dead and kill us all. They’re stubborn people who love precious metals and gems, but they’re also skilled warriors who will stand valiantly alongside their friends in the face of danger. They prefer to live in mountain caves, building complex villages and structures while mining for anything that shines.
And finally, the Warborn are revealed. A long time ago we posted an image of what we thought the Warborn would look like. Turns out we were mostly correct. Warborn are neither demons nor humans, but a gigantic race who excel at killing things (such as dragons). No one knows for sure where they came from, not even Warborn elders, so they’ve joined the effort to discover the lost history of ArcheAge’s world on the northern continent in an attempt to learn more about themselves.
The last two races will probably be Fairies and some kind of necromantic race. Click the image below.
