I'm just curious, have all of our officers quit?
for the last week, there is no one online doing anything, and seldom have much to do. so far mornings are pretty much dead up until 7 or 8 ish PM and then it's not really much happening but at least people are talking in mumble some.
Personally, I'm still adjusting to my move and am still looking for my own place to live. I don't have the ability to use my computer without rearranging the house I'm staying at. I'm on briefly most nights, but can't do much on my laptop.
Some of the other officers are cutting back their playing time or are taking breaks. Unfortunately the game community in general is drastically changing. We're still planning on keeping things going, but it's hita bit of a lull. Hopefully Trion and XL can roll something out to drum up some more excitement.
Sorry Qwase, I've been taking a personal break for about a week. I got kind of bummed by some of the recent AA changes and was missing playing SL so I recently started logging on that more. I'll still visit in AA but probably won't be as active as I use to be. Hoping Trion gets its act together though because AA had a lot of potential.
I lost a lot of my enthusiasm for this game the last few days...really bummed me out hearing about all the problems in the last week. It's been cool using Burnard's land temporarily and I had decided to focus on farming gold to purchase land. I had been researching demos, but it just seemed like a huge waste of time. Unfortunately, doing my first trade run on my new farm cart last night, it just didn't seem very fun. I'm thinking I'll probably enjoy myself more back in FFXIV or WoW's new expansion.
There is just not a whole lot to do in game. Time to go pirate and take over marianople. Beware the yarrrreus knights.
Looking forward to our next game!
Whilst I am still growing in the game, I can see that some others are starting to lose their pleasure in it whether it is the game itself or the company behind it .....
but ... With the sieges about to commence ... isn't this something the guild is/was planning to participate in and could that not create some 'new' fun for people?
I'm not giving up on the game myself. I'll still pop in a lot to check on my farm and work on my healing spec. I just wish people would take some initiative and plan stuff on our own. I'll be lurking around in mumble though so if something exciting happens I'll be there for the guild in a heart beat. I may go back to playing FFXIV and search for the guild there since most of my toons are unguilded. I really like yall so I'm sticking around with the Knights!!!
Just stopping by cus I like to read how other games are going - but if you decide to come back to FFXIV, it won't be hard finding us there's literally hundreds of us.Quote:

DAoC was a great MMO prior to the Trials of Atlantis expansion, so I have high hopes they will get it right and Camelot Unchained will be a lot of fun. It's still a year a way from going live though. My play time in AA is somewhat limited, but I have always enjoyed the PvP action when it occurred. I definitely need better gear, so that will be my focus going forward, knowing I won't be a land owner long term. I need a high end Psyco crafted bow! :-)
I'm going to continue playing until I accomplish my goals and run out of things to do. Despite Trion's mistakes I still find the game itself enjoyable and just needed to adapt the way I play to make it fun after the changes. There's still tons to do in this game and I am excited to see level 55 come out.
I will not be paying Trion a cent though, I will pay my subscription with APEX. If the guild condition gets worse, I may move to a more active guild, probably IF. But I really hope it doesn't get to that point.
Nothing wrong with that, man.Quote:

That being said if we have scheduled events I'd be happy to attend. I'd love to see us doing guilda runs again.
I am logging on when I can, since I have patron through December, but I really don't have time to do much more than tend to my farms, pay my taxes and do a little crafting. We were already planning a big move, which was going to take up a lot of our time, and now we've found out we're getting kicked out of our apt a lot sooner than we thought, which makes everything 100x harder for us. To top it off, work is insanely busy through the holidays. In short, games are going to have to take a back seat to life for a while.
I'm not sure how long I'll stick with Archeage, but I have characters in several games and my membership in this forum, so I'll keep up with what's active and hopefully join you guys somewhere when life is less crazy.
I log on first thing in the morning, and play while I work when work allows. And I'm finding it hard to find anything but farming to do when there are less than 10 active players online most of the day. Sadly, I think I will start looking around for more adventures. I know you have asked us to wait till after thanksgiving, but to be honest I just don't see anyway your going to dig your way out of the low membership while maintaining the quality of the people in this wonderful family.
It appears that a major component of active players have moved to IF today, and unfortunately most of our remaining trade ships sailed off with them. Who is active and still has a trade ship? We are going to need to do some Gilda runs to re-build our fleet.

As much as I need to quit or cut down on my play time in this game ( projects , job hunting) I am still captivated by the game. However, I need to set some goals because after I got my farm cart and researched the cost of a wagon upgrade I pondered why I am doing it??? Farm, farm, chop,chop timber, mine to what end? I guess I could use my gold to buy better weapons and armor. But I don't care to PVP so why bother? So I will probably try to withdraw the 1st of the new year and save 15 bucks a month. I think if I had made some friends to play in the sandbox with I don't think I would even thing about quitting. Hence, what I think I like most about the game is the lovely farm that I was invited to and the beauty of the graphics. What a boring player I am. :)
