Thanks for all the love on this video guys, this has been one of my most successful videos yet. Without fans like you guys sending me your suggestions, opinions, and video footage I wouldn't be able to do my videos like I do them.

My grandpa used to say "I'm not wealthy enough to buy cheap wares." I think, it's fair to say "I'm not wealthy enough to play free to play games."

This game is not dying from old age or players loosing interest. The publisher commited suicide, long and slow.

I remember my last moments in ArcheAge when the bots seemed to be more then the actual players.
Me and my friends used our wagons and horses to create a roadblock on a bridge that so many botters used on their trading route.
In like an hour we had 10-15 bots standing there trying to get past us. aah fun times...
After that we all quit.

Trion is a serial game killer. Absolutely evil company.

A problem with f2p games is that if you're not a whale you're an NPC.

"so what went wrong?"
Trion

Video over

What went wrong: Trion Games.

money hungry is the worst mistake of mmos as always

For a short period of time, ArcheAge was the best game I'd ever played. Great memories!

ArcheAge is an good example for how greed and/or denial can ruin otherwise a good game.

Talking about how bad Trion is... my account got hacked and char deleted (where i have spend around 6k hours) (i couldn't log in because I was sick) Trion refused to do anything about it and left me with message '' I know this isn't the answer you were hoping for, and I'm sorry I couldn't provide better news, but I wish you the best of luck in ArcheAge!'' I kid you not sir but I am not going to ever play this game ever again. I have still half of year of subscribtion left feels bad that I have ever bought it...

The problem with P2W from a business stand point is that it is short sighted. Games often start off with hype or building up previous fan base. Then they put in some pay to win stuff and sure people complain but they stick around in hopes things will improve or they can manage to compete without needing them.

Eventually though time and frustration set in as they realize they can't compete against people paying tons of money so they begin to leave and then over time the people forking over tons of money have no one to lord over and only but heads with other big spenders but even then there is always a bigger spender so they too feel the crunch on their wallet and end up leaving. At which point the game pretty much dies.

But the saddest part is the Companies don't really care, they just wanna take the money and run, they don't care about having a quality experience as long as the money is flowing into their pockets. And they want to milk it as much as they can before it dies.

Getting permanently banned from ArcheAge was the best thing that ever happened to me.  In one click of the button I no longer needed to compete with p2w or figure out how I'm going to buy Apex to maintain valuable land.

I loved how the Devs all knew about the Prem Item dupe exploit since Alpha, and didn't do anything to fix it until months after "retail release" (Went Live)... Which allowed players to make billions of in game currentancy to buy up all the land plots and shrugging off the added tax fees for to many land plots...    Ship was sinking before it even left port...

Arch Age went with the "fake news" option

Trion as a company is shitfest i was getting banned for no reason and no explanation. Last time i got banned i tried to test to see if they are banning randomly inactive accounts, and after the last time they banned my acc i got it back i didn't play any of their games for 6 months then went back in after that time and tried to log in and ofc my account was banned

ps: when u see trion logo next to the game just keep on walking and don't look at it

Trion killed archeage. One of the best mmos i played , incredible sandbox aspect and naval battles. The problem: fucking pay to win and labor points.

The most sad thing is there was a early point even after launch where you could engage in pvp with hundreds of players , at sea too over a kraken, a lot of the people still playing are playing because of those memories of the early days. I login every few months just too look at my sweet ayanad gear just for the memories and the character i loved. such a waste of a great game

Lmfao look where the P2W model got Trion, 'is' got changed to 'was' on wikipedia and the world is good again.
