People are spending money on this game and not seeing much of an improvement or even apology. This has led many people to feel cheated. Responses from trion have not really improved either. Updates often take far longer than they should, and more than once a large number of people have been unable to login, giving a lucky few who could log in a large edge. The game works well once you can get online, but odd lag spikes and client side crashes are common. Technical issues have plagued archage since release. However, while these developments are praise worthy, I feel it may be too late. I personally have seen GM's booting bots and there are rumors they are seeking permission from XLgames (the game's owner) to ditch the current firewall for a better one. Server ques are less common, a report feature has been added, and public channel chat is no longer allowed until lvl 15.

To their credit, I can say that trion has now made an attempt to fight back. Many players are already talking about "trade runs" not being an effective way to make gold soon. The economy has been hit hard and fast, with inflation having risen greatly in a matter of months. These reports of botting and poor responses from Trion are completely factual. The game has been affected by an early history of cheaters. While the game is smallish compared to some others, it has potential and could have easily overcome this.A good team would have added just the right touch. It's major vice however, has to be it's poor management. Groups of people often camp towns in attempt to pick off lower lvl players, since there is no penalty for doing so. PVP is more of a gank fest, with skill combos designed to take down a player's health while they are stunned. Archeage gives the impression that large scale sea battles would be possible, but really, 4 or 5 ships traveling about are quite easily noticed. I've talked to a number of people in and out of game and lots of them feel that the sea is a bit smaller than they'd prefer. This lack of land is not just about the house space. It can feel too small for it's player base at times.
