ArcheAge: Review in Progress 3 - Farmville Deluxe

Review in Progress 3 - Farmville Deluxe

ArcheAge is starting to become as addicting as Farmville. Only in this case, I don't really hate myself for liking the game. I've just spent inordinate amounts of time roving the countryside, exploring crafting, and dabbling in a whole bunch of other things. The question I ask myself though is: am I focused on ArcheAge's crafting and farming because they're fun, or is it because the questing and combat progression is so old hat?

General: State of the Game: Rewarding Loyalty

State of the Game: Rewarding Loyalty

When players support your game in its pimply, awkward, squeaky-voice stage, you reward them appropriately when the cocoon bursts open to reveal a beautiful butterfly. But what you never, ever do is later offer those early founder's rewards in the cash shop for a few extra bucks. It's just not worth it. Betraying loyalty like that is a sure-fire way to lose the respect of those people who would probably still play your game after the tourists have come and gone.
