Greetings Inheritors, 

Erenor’s Christmas elves have decided to help us prepare some awesome, new packages for you. They will only be available for a limited time between the 16th and 30th of December. 

Please be advised that to make sure that the elves’ supply lasts for everyone, we are limiting our Sallium Garbs Outfit Pack and our Wings of Contagion Pack to one per character. There will be no limit for the Equipment Support Pack.

Greetings inheritors!

We will be conducting emergency maintenance today, at the following times, for an estimated duration of 3 hours:



Maintenance is being conducted to resolve several store issues.

Please note that the game will shut down before maintenance. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.

The Land Rush will start on December 18th at 11:00 AM UTC for the EU servers and at 01:00 PM PST for the NA ones. Please note that this is a week later than initially communicated. The reason for this are several player issues found after ArcheAge's server launch on December 3.

Important information about Land Rush

Q. How will Kakao Games prevent hackers from claiming land once the transfer is completed and servers are open?
A. We will be monitoring servers closely. Anyone who abuses an exploit or uses a “land hack” will find their house swiftly demolished, and their account will receive a punishment determined by the Customer Service team.

Q. During the Land Rush, will the housing areas be put into Peace?
A. No, the housing areas will not be put into Peace during the Land Rush.

Q. Will the Auroria Land Rush be at the same time as the East/West Land Rush, or will it be staggered?
A. The Auroria Land Rush will not be staggered and will happen at the same time as the normal Land Rush.

Q. Will Beanstalks be disabled for the Land Rush?
A. No, it is not possible to disable the placement of a single type of design, including Beanstalks Mansions.
