Well, we may have some hiccups, but compared to Archeage it's still a wonderful game.
They just announced officially Ending the Archeage game.
and it's Not April 1st

as a guess their business model was junk. instead of trying to bring in new players and get them up to End Game competitiveness, they pushed the End Game Gear Scores up from 20k to 30k. That means anyone starting new will have to play at least 2 years to even attempt to get involved, unless they spend hundreds of dollars.
just a guess

✭One day this will happen to eso too. All of our precious items will go poof and all we'll have are the friends we made and the memories of the good times.
The moral of the story is to focus on the latter two items. The items are just the means to an end and ultimately worthless fluff by themselves.

That's true of all games, one way or another.
Even if the game is still available sooner or later you'll stop playing it for some reason, and then none of the items, achievements or other stuff will have any use, but you'll still have the experiences and the memories. I don't feel like the time I spent on other games was wasted, even if I don't (or can't) play them any more. I had fun with it and in some cases learned things, even if that's just how to play that genre of game. I've also made friends from games and their communities which outlasted both.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

For those of us who play to PvP and have since 2015 have already seen almost all our friends go poof and leave the game. But the good times were already gone with the super low pop caps and performance issues, that's why they all left.2 -

Lillisia✭✭✭It may have gotten worse. Some players are now reporting that their charter screen is blank...as in there is no characters showing. They went poof. Hopefully we aren't in for more downtime.

Nucklez✭✭Archeage was a game I played for many years before starting ESO. I was highly addicted to it. One of the reason I quit was because of the cash shop. The server I played had so many "whales" that spent so much real cash on the P2W shop to better the chances of upgrading their gear that there was no way to compete with them. Even if someone spent $100 a month they could not compete with these people. A lot of the game was PVP based aside from the potato farmers, which I became and hoarded land. One of the best housing systems I've came across since Ultima Online. It was awesome to actually have neighbors instead of instanced housing. Aside from the mandatory cash shop purchases to upgrade your transport vehicles to anything beyond the default beginner level cart, and mostly mandatory cash shop items to increase the chance of upgrading your gear, they offered server transfers for real cash. They also loved the idea of "Fresh Start" servers where everyone would just quit their current server and start new on the "Fresh Start" servers, while Kakao/Gamigo/Trion would cash in on everyone repurchasing the mandatory vehicle upgrades and tons gear upgrades all over again and again. That game ended up as pay to win as you can get.
On top of that, the grind for gear was the worst I've ever seen. On one hand I loved that you could craft the best gear in the game. The bad news is the upgrade for crafting anything to help you survive a trade run through a PVP zone was so reliant on RNG. If you failed your upgrade you had the chance of destroying your gear. It had RNG stats when it's crafted, and you had to RNG upgrade your pieces many many times with lower and lower chances of success with each upgrade. I'm talking Ul'vor Staff cosmetic level RNG chances, but for upgrading gear...
Other than all that, I actually loved the game itself. The housing, the trade runs, the ocean and owning your own Galleon or Trade Ship was awesome. Until it wasn't.1 -
