Update 5 - 3:25 PT / 10:25 PM UTC - We're back online, folks. Thanks for your patience. We're continuing to go through crash logs and are working to eliminate the root cause of these crashes but it may take a bit more time.

Update 4 - 2:10 PM PDT (9:10 PM UTC) - Looks like North American servers have crashed again. The team is investigating now and hope to have a resolution ASAP.

Update 3 - 12:05 PM PDT (7:05 PM UTC) - Several servers had crashed, but after a restart, we have validated and opened them back up to players. Thanks for your patience.

Update 2 - 10:30 AM PDT (5:30 PM UTC) - There appear to be issues bringing some zones back online after the restart. We're digging into this now so please bear with us.

Update 1 - 9:30 AM PDT (4:30 PM UTC) - All NA servers are back online and things are looking good. We'll keep a close eye on things so we can spot any issues quickly. Thanks!

Hey all,

The team is aware of the current issues preventing players from accessing some North American servers. We're working to bring Aria back online and hope to have a fix for any other login issues resolved ASAP.

Expect an update in 1 hour if the issue is already resolved.

Thanks

On October 17-18th, 2018, several ArcheAge servers will evolve to better balance populations! Read on to find out what’s coming!

The ground under your feet begins to rumble, the first indication of sweeping change in store for the lands of Erenor. Soon you will find new allies and new foes as servers evolve together!


WHEN

On October 17, 2018, servers will come down for 24 hours:

Europe: 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT)
Important: Land placement will be locked until Saturday, October 20th – time is currently slated for 12:00 (noon) for each region.

WHAT

The new server names are not set yet, but we know what’s going where!

NA EVOLUTION 1: Aranzeb, Kyrios, Reckoning, Vengeance, Kraken
NA EVOLUTION 2: Conviction, Thunderwing
Nui remains as is.

EU EVOLUTION 1: Shatigon, Eanna, Prophecy
EU EVOLUTION 2: Tempest, Retribution
Ezi will remain as is.


AUCTION HOUSES
The Auction Houses will not be changing, with Merged Servers sharing an Auction House for each region as usual, and Fresh Start remaining separate.
New auction postings will be blocked for 50 hours prior to the time of the merge.

BUT WAIT, WE HAVE MORE QUESTIONS!
We will have a full FAQ available for you next week, and will open an official discussion/question thread at that time. We’ll also discuss it further on our Sept 14th livestream, with Khrolan!

Sleek and shadowy style accompanies this week's wardrobe offering!

The Immortal Guardian's Robes are equally suited to a formal evening dinner or secret skullduggery. Dark silks cascade from the shoulders, enhanced with a light collar of matching, hand-selected feathers. The classic hood completes the look and adds to the mystery.

This beautiful outfit is available on Legacy and Fresh Start servers at 2,500 Credits.

Lucius's Lunastone decreases enemies’ Physical and Magical Defense -60 each time you damage them. This effect can stack once per second, up to a maximum of 7 times.

• Wrapped Lucius's Lunastone, 1250 Credits
• Lucius's Lunastone, 600 Loyalty Tokens

Inoch's Lunastone decreases received Damage -0.3% when damaged by an enemy. This effect can stack once per second, up to a maximum of 7 times.

• Wrapped Inoch's Lunastone, 1250 Credits
• Inoch's Lunastone, 600 Loyalty Tokens (Fresh Start only)

 
The Immortal Guardian's Robes, Inoch's and Lucian's Lunagems are all available from August 2 through August 16th, 2018.

We bring a new permanent edition to the store this week too: the Hiram Hunter Pack! A must for everyone, and available once per account, per day!
A mere 250 Credits gains you 2 Bound Lucky Elixers, 2 Adventurer’s Assorted Ribs, and 2 Adventurer’s Goblet of Honor.

It’s way too hot to go outside, unless you head to the mountains… this week in ArcheAge, we bring the mountains to you with the Alabaster Manticore Crate!

Invoke cool mountain breezes and icy glaciers in the middle of summer. The icy shimmer of the Alabaster Manticore Crate holds great promise.

You have a chance at a wide range of useful and valuable items, and a few rare crates will contain the wild Alabaster Manticore! Icy blue with bright red horns and tail tip, this mount will turn heads anywhere.

The Alabaster Manticore Crate is available on both Legacy and Fresh Start, at 450 Credits each.

Don’t fancy the mystery of crates? Manticore breeders have bred an Alabaster Manticore mount for direct sale as well, on Legacy servers only, for 650 Loyalty.

To go along with the wild-maned Manticore, we offer the Mountain Tribe Costume. Fur-trimmed and as savage as the wilds they sprang from, this outfit willmake you feel fierce enough to take on any foe! Available for 1900 credits, a fair price for such dedicated artisanal effort by remote Mountain craftsmen.
