well basically they want to make Archeage system like Rift which actually isn't that bad. I played f2p Rift and i was really satisfied and nothing to be jealus from premium accounts.
Now archeage is a real economy based game which needs labor points ( work points ) to do everything in game from craft to gather , build etc.
In AA RU version a premium account gets 5 labor points per 5 mins and even if the account is offline. Premium accounts have 5k limit.
A freemium account have 1k limit and they get 1 labor point per 5 mins but not offline.
Differences also are in :
Premium account can have a farm , housing etc
Freemium can not have them and as i said its really important if you want to have some $$ in your pockets :P
so Trion turns now and saying that Freemium can become Premium by getting an item which somebody else bought it and sold it through auction house aka broker for wowers :P
Also the regen for Labor points will be higher than AA ru because they believe that a player must not spend all of his life to enjoy one game.
For an example in order to havesome labor points to craft in AA ru i have to wait 3-4 days so i can run 5-6 trade runs.
Trion stated that the labor points will be more than 1 per 5 mins and it gonna have also offline regen for freemium and for premium.
Anyway another feat. is the farms.
Basicaly you can place your farm wherever you want but you mast to have a scarecrow so other playerscan not steal your products.
those products are the crafting materials.
For an example you plant an Apple tree and it gonna give you apples which is needed in cooking for potions or else you just cut it and you make wood which is needed and very much actually in building a house , gliders,castles , cars, trade cargos or building a ship, catapults etc.
anyway i will give some links to make you hyper about the game and i will invite you to join us in RU server so you will be able to try the mechanics, the gameplay and everything that you want to ask me because this game is really huge in everything. You will get surprized with the class-skill system !!!
Enjoy!
latest patch...
So I got the English patch working. Here's what I did:
Close AA and the Launcher.
Download Proxifier from http://www.proxifier.com/download.htm. They have a 31 day trial on the program. Download second program Wicked Patcher: http://aafx.org.ua/attachments/download/13/WP669F_AA_201_stripped.exe Download the script for Wicked Patcher: http://aafx.org.ua/attachments/download/11/HSPacketSpoof.fsc Follow their guide at http://aafx.org.ua/news/5 When you are adding the 127.0.0.1 proxy, it will ask you if you want to set this as the default proxy, select NO. When adding a new proxy rule, select archeage.exe from where you installed it. Mine defaults to C:\GamesMailRu\ArcheAge\Bin32\archeage.exe After both programs are setup, reapply the latest english patch here: http://aafx.org.ua/attachments/download/10/TTC_03292014.exe Play the game in English.
