- Longstanding fantasy MMORPG is about to shut down after ten years - 7 June 2024
Competition among the best MMORPGs is tough. With giants such as Final Fantasy 14, World of Warcraft, and Black Desert Online continuing to rule the roost, it can be tough to establish and hold a base. That's only further exacerbated by the fact that many players will commit to a single MMO and not have time for another. The latest casualty of this space is Archeage , which is set to shut down after ten years due to unsustainable player populations. Read the rest of the story...

- Termination of Service Notification - 25 April 2024
Dear Inheritors, As a publisher of games, it is our mission to provide our players with great and enjoyable gaming experiences, so it is with heavy hearts that we announce the official closure of our ArcheAge servers, effective June 27, 2024. After discussing the performance of ArcheAge with XL Games at length, we have concluded that we’re no longer able to provide the MMORPG we envisioned. The declining number of active players means the game’s content is no longer accessible in the way it used to be, and the experience of it is different from what was originally intended. In light of this, we’ve made the difficult decision to terminate the live service of ArcheAge in Europe and North America. We understand this news is disappointing, for it’s a feeling we share. ArcheAge has been a big part of our lives, and we know many of you have a history with the game many times longer than ours.…
