If you were to talk to a friend that know nothing about Archeage but had played many MMO's before what would you want them to know before starting?

The Bad • There is a lot of luck involved with things like crafting and regrading armor (which is like "leveling up" armor). <Enter>

 <Enter>

<Enter> • You have to stay logged in 24/7 to have labor used for most events in the game. <- This is going to change this month, labor regen will be 10 Online and 10 Offline for patrons. <Enter>

 <Enter>

<Enter> • The ability system is similar to older MMO's in that blocking and parrying is luck based and most targeting is simply a "click" on target and attack. As opposed to something like Tera. <Enter>

 <Enter>

<Enter> • You may spend a lot of timing doing things like farming or running trade packs that is boring. <Enter>

 <Enter>

<Enter> • There is no noticeable diminishing returns on CC abilities in PvP. <- There is DR on every CC, but they work differently. After 2 ~ 3 Uses of any CC (3 Trips), you get Trip Resistence for 30Sec. <Enter>

 <Enter>

<Enter> • PvP is very fast most of the time. Dude this is a PRO <Enter>

 <Enter>

<Enter> • End-game PvE content is realy bad, compared to others MMOs. <Enter>

 <Enter>

<Enter> The Good • The ocean and the ship combat is amazing. <Enter>

 <Enter>

<Enter> • The game has an incredible amount of detail to it. <Enter>

 <Enter>

<Enter> • Combat is intense. <Enter>

 <Enter>

<Enter> • PVE in the game is difficult at the higher levels. <Enter>

 <Enter>

<Enter> • The game allows players to do mostly whatever they want within the rules of the game. <Enter>

 <Enter>

<Enter> • PvP at a high level is strategy based. <Enter>

 <Enter>

<Enter> • The multiple class system works well. <Enter>

 <Enter>

<Enter> • PVP is very fast most of the time. <Enter>

 <Enter>

<Enter> • P2Win just put you ahead the others. You can have everything without wasting a single penny. <Enter>
