ArcheAge - Why can't this game release in the States? Why? WHY?

There's still no word on an English-language version of ArcheAge, but that isn't stopping fan sites like ArcheAge Source from digging up lots of interesting stuff on the Korean sandpark title.

The site has a wealth of information covering several aspects of ArcheAge's fourth closed beta phase, including multiple skill guides, lore, and various videos. If that's not enough for you, there's also the latest beta patch notes that are available via Google translate. Check them out to learn more about siege ladders, the game's family system, and importing your own graphics for cloaks and ship sails.

[Thanks to Andrew for the tip!]

Aww, this article make me blush. Thanks for the backlinks, Massively. And yeah, ArcheAge is great. We're glad folks outside of Korea like it enough to give it coverage. :)

I am way too excited about this game, it sounds like everything I've ever dreamed about in an mmo...

Territory Control, Housing, Crafting, Farming, Gliding!, Sailing, All while having visually cool looking combat and covered in sand. Wish they were a western company.

@Nasq

I'll cry if they all of a sudden said they won't release it in NA.

@J45neoboy

They will.

Jake Song said from beggining that AA was ALSO with western markets in mind. After all this game is more westernized for example in looks than any AAA Asian mmorpg before.

Imo if no western company will pick it up. XL Games will release it iself after Korean version will be up running and making loads of profits.

I am just really really hoping for pure p2p release in NA or EU.
I really want to play this game (heck might be my first pre-order ever as I have policy to not pre-order but I will do exception for AA) since I will not play it as f2p or freemium.

Cash shop + sandbox? Could not stand it - Not mixing good for me.

@J45neoboy Im sure they will release it in NA considering they have an English site which has less information then the actual beta site. The only thing is.... when will they announce the game is coming to NA? I have a feeling it wont be till a year after release of the game in kerea

@(Unverified) This is absolutely a big hint that it will be coming to NA. Why would they waste time on an english site?

That's answers its own question ;)

This is one of those games that I can put down as one of my most anticipated in my MMO gaming "career".

Seriously everything I look for in an MMO. All in one game. -instanced battleground though.

I trust Jake Song.

Woot! My lore article. :D Thanks for linking!
