  [Global PM] Introducing Don

  Hi, I'm Don. As Producer Ham mentioned, I'm the Global Project Manager for ArcheAge Chronicles.If you saw Ham's post, you know a bit about why I'm writing this. Now that XLGames is self-publishing AAC, the team wanted to show their commitment and vision. We wanted to be able to talk more directly and honestly with players about what we're building.So that's where I come in. My aim is to bring you insight into what is happening with development. It doesn't mean we won't mess up or make mistakes. I'm here to help us make decisions that make sense for our global audience, show you more of what's happening behind the scenes, and bring what you're saying back to the team as we build the game. You'll be hearing from me regularly going forward - both when things go well, and when they don't.Where things stand right nowI want to be straightforward with you about where ArcheAge Chronicles actually is today, because we believe that is more important than trying to paint a picture that is shaped by marketing.The core of the game is here: the combat, the world, exploration, lifeskills, multiplayer. We have a solid foundation that is built and playable. But we still have a lot more planned, systems we're still expanding, ideas we're still testing, things we'll change based on what we learn once players actually get their hands on it.We didn't want to wait until everything was "done" to start this conversation with you, because honestly, we don't think a game like this is ever really done at a single moment. It grows alongside the community playing it.Building this with you, not just for youThat's really the heart of what we are trying to do. We want Early Access to be a genuine collaboration between the team and the players who choose to join us, not a game built in an echo chamber and handed to you as a finished product months later.That means telling you what we're working on and why. It means showing you things before they're perfect. And it means actually listening when you ...

  A Letter from Producer Ham — Network Test & Publishing Update

  Hello everyone,First, I want to say thank you to everyone who took part in our first network test on September 12th. Getting real players on our servers, even for a short window, gave us something we simply couldn't get from internal testing alone, and we're grateful to everyone who showed up. I also know a test like this, limited to about six hours and to North America only, means a lot of you who wanted to take part weren't able to — whether it was the timing that didn't work for you, or simply where you're located. I want to apologize for that. The good news is you won't need an invite to play for much longer. We're working toward Early Access, and it's coming sooner than you might think.I'm writing today to share an important update about how ArcheAge Chronicles will move forward.As some of you already know, XLGames will be self-publishing ArcheAge Chronicles directly. This is a deliberate decision, and one we believe puts us in a much stronger position heading into Early Access.Self-publishing means XLGames now has a direct relationship with our Western players. That changes how we can communicate with you. Starting now, you should expect to hear from us more often, and more directly, as we move toward Early Access.As part of that shift, I want to introduce a new voice you'll be hearing from regularly: our Global PM, Don. Don will be posting directly, sharing more of the day-to-day thinking behind the game, and acting as a direct line between our development team and the Western community. Don will introduce himself properly in a post very soon, so keep an eye out.Finally, I want to share an update on how that test went. Despite the test only being open for a short time, we learned a lot in those few hours. This was primarily an infrastructure test: our goal was to see how our servers performed under real player load, in a way we simply can't fully replicate with internal testing alone.During the network test, we confirmed that our servers and key infrastructur...
