The video shows off shipwrecks, resource gathering, and underwater fishing, and we're betting there are plenty of nautical monsters to hunt as well. Did we mention the retro dive helmets and scuba gear? See for yourself after the cut.

What doesn't this game have? Besides full loot pvp.

I'm getting the impression that with such free-world exploration you'd be wandering the world and come across old structures that players once built. I think that'll be awesome to have a lasting impact on the world, or so I hope.

Yeah, I'm a huge fan of what ArchAge is trying to do, but what is with developer's endless fascination with underwater zones? I've never heard gamers say "I want to enter an area where the graphics turn to repetitive shit, my freedom of movement is hampered, and I have to constantly monitor my oxygen levels.

@Drfive No, there isn't even an NA/EU publisher confirmed yet afaik.
I'm sure it will be released here eventually though, the interest is huge and the hype is becoming really intense.

Another game I am trying to be optimistic about, but am wary because it is from a Korean developer. I'm hoping that this game can pull off the "sandpark" thing right, because I feel that sandparks will be the true next era of MMOs.

time to get an account with a minimal lag proxy service. Can anyone else who's already done this point me in the right direction?

In keeping with some of the recent skimpy-armor threads, I read the title of this as "New ArcheAge clip shows underwear environments."
