Where can you buy a house at? I really haven't looked yet. Been too busy leveling and messing with my small farm.

well, you've gotta just find someone trustworthy. That's the appeal of this game. You can get scammed sooooo hard if you're unlucky :lol
Yes, pens and bundles are supposed to make live a bit easier with a large farm. A farm full of chicken would take an hour to feed and harvest otherwise.

The game really becomes a lot more enjoyable at around lvl 35.
Got to the first pvp zones , the second dungeon, start to actually earn a bit of gold from quests.
It's a shame the combat is typical tab target wow style and that almost all the quests are kill 10 boars/click item on npc/pick 5 cabbages because the sandbox stuff is really cool.
Met 2 friendly people who know the game really well and went along on their ship to dive for treasure , we hauled up a few trade packs from people who died/whose ship sunk at sea (the packs sink to the bottom of the ocean if your ship sinks)
There's a surprising amount of functionality to the ships and they are fast. (just the smallest ship after the rowboat is the only one ive seen so far, I hear there's huge ones)
Went on a long trade run riding along on their car, The car holds 2 extra tradepacks and can be upgraded to 10 I believe. trade caravans through pvp zones with escorts should be quite entertaining.
I haven't seen any form of matchmaking (for pvp or dungeons) and haven't seen any cross server stuff, I hope there is none, this game could have a really good sense of community.
My friend (who plays with super hardcore pay2winners) and these 2 friendly people also both told me the same thing:
"don't play on the 'older' (first) servers, they are 100 percent patron and full of guilds that bought thousands of gems in the cash shop, you cannot compete there (compete as in have an impact in the pvp/guild wars etc) if you didn't buy the 130 euro pack and keep buying patron and are part of a big guild.
The smaller newer server I'm on seems pretty casual, not that many 50s yet, no heavy cash shoppers, 50/50 patron/non patron, probably even still has some land available.
If this game didn't have the nexon pay2win shit and had tera combat and dungeons and some form of loot pk (beyond tradepacks) it would be the mmo I've always wanted (alas
)

Moving to a newer lower populated server would worry me a little. If the population drops too much post launch they will have to merge the lower pop servers with more populated ones. They did this in Korea and the people on the server being shut down lost all of their land, but got 'some' of their materials back. Then they had to find or buy land on their new home server. Just something to think about.
That's why I'm sticking with Kyrios. Crazy high population, but the queues aren't that bad. Highest I've seen them is 300-400 lately and that takes about an hour at the max.
edit: More land will be available once everyone's 3 month patron status runs out. I've got a feeling a lot of people will be done by then. Not a max exodus mind you, but more land will become available.

On Mirage Island (there are portals in all major villages/cities). One side of the island has the western designs and the other side the eastern. You buy the design pattern which you can put down and they appear as a building site. The cheapest/smallest houses are 15 Gilda
Around lvl 30 iirc. Has been a while
There is a questline in the main cities of both continents. You do some investigation for the judge (proof a guys innocence) then you automatically unlock the trial option (you will automatically be put in a queue and teleported to the trial room if your number is up and you agree to join the trial, and then teleported back again. It's really neat).
What? I thought they changed that?

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
I think it depends on the level of the character.
Decided to tempt fate and plant a pine tree farm for a thunderstruck. These trees take 2 days to mature, so lot of time for people to happen upon them and uproot/loot before me. There was actually someone there this morning who claimed they would be back...but didn't bother actually chopping down the trees that were actually ready. Pity I guess, thought no one would come across this place.
I'm on Calliel to. So far the population looks very healthy, even losing people I think we'd still be good.

Downloading this beast now. Anything I should know for early on or just yolo it?
E: Not getting the authentication code via e-mail. Seems to have been a widespread problem based on google results. Great start.

Nice avatar.
Just follow the quests and youll be fine.
Edit - if you roll a azn or cat on the Ezi server I can help you out.
I'm on human/elf side, not sure about others.
Also I started collecting items for my big farm quests... but realized I have no where to put a big farm. The spot my regular scarecrow is, is way too small and people took all the area around it :|
Also I saw the jury actually give an innocent verdict for the first time yesterday.
Aww, I am a Firran. I may make a character on your side though.

I finally beat the character creator boss after 2 hours but I don't know if I can handle it's second form. I think my character looks fine, but when not in the light, due to my graphic settings, it seems like the makeup disappears. Don't know if I'm 100% happy with it.
Think I've decided weaponcrafting on my profession, even though I hate weaponcrafting professions in games (they're money sinks that usually make nothing in return). But my character switches between 3 different weapons...and that'll get expensive relying on the AH. If not that I think I'd go leather or alchemy or something.
A lot of people have had a problem with the character lighting in the creator vs. ingame so you're not alone on that.

Still haven't received the authentication code e-mail. I clicked resend code as well. This sucks.
Sounds good!Nice avatar.

In game name is Oskar
Anything outside of WoW usually follows a niche playerbase but ArcheAge seems to be going pretty strong.
I've been inactive for days thanks to moving/waiting on Internet. Still only level 16 sadly but once everything gets sorted I'm going to shred through the game and get some proper levels before the onslaught of October release hits us.

Hit lvl 41 (almost 42) got the gold for patron, bought 1 apex for 62 gold inthe afternoon then when I got gold for the second one it was 2 am on the server and only 3 (super overpriced 83gold) apex were left on it
Can you pay tax on your house for weeks/months in advance?
labor pots are stupidly expensive already on my server, 14g each:\
logs seem worth 10silver each, is that good? I have no idea what to farm tomorrow once I build my farm

quests make more moneya t higher level
Also you can make 50g in 2 hours by making an alt, doing all quests up till you get your mount, then doing only story quests (helps a lot to stop to do the first armor set quests in the starter zone) until you finish the storymode, which gets you 50 + gilda stars
you can trade your 50 gilda stars for a boat or farmhouse recipe (at mirage isle) which you can trade for 45-50g to other players

Reading the posts above makes me want to play so bad. Farming, wheeling and dealing on the marketplace, all this cool shit. Stupid authentication code didn't send. I read one guy say it took 10-15 hours for him but it's been longer than that. I guess I'll e-mail them.
