Archeage

Archeage

ArcheAge is a free to play, sandbox-style fantasy MMORPG. Play as one of two factions, or as an outcast of society.

A paid version exists, called ArcheAge Unchained.

Features

►Make your mark through crafting, trading, crime, or waging war!

►The expansive world allows you to create player housing, farms, castles, and more to claim territory (With Patron status)

►Fight on land, sea, and air.

Races

There are four playable races, split into two factions: the Nuians and Elves live on the western Nuia, and Firran and Harani live on the eastern Haranya.

Classes

The class system is not traditional: instead of picking a class, you pick three core skill sets (out of ten available). The combination of these three skill sets determines your actual ‘class,’ making 120 total combinations possible. You can see the full list of classes here. The skillsets are: Songcraft, Witchcraft, Auramancy, Defense, Shadowplay, Occultism, Vitalism, Archery, Sorcery and Battlerage.
