XLGames and Kakao Games have announced that ArcheAge has been updated to allow MMORPG players to access the Great Prairie of the West region. Players can head into this all-new location and find a “whole new world” rife with adventure and new discoveries.
Within the Great Prairie of the West, there are several areas and features to explore including:
- Wildflower Forest made of trees that feed on mist and dew said to have given a magical power to the herbs of the area
- Forgotten Spike is at the center of the region but no one knows its origin or purpose
- Terena is an ancient ruin with traces of the Epherium Kingdom
- Plain’s Eye where the remains of an ancient altar are still visible
- Guardian Scramble faction competition
In addition to the new location, players will also find several updates to the game including a skill and armor balance adjustment, and a siege balance adjustment.
To celebrate, devs are pulling out all the stops:
- To mark the occasion, a Back-to-Arche event will be taking place from June 23 through until August 25. During this period, players can log onto the official website and receive up to €1500/$1500 worth of in-game rewards as a coupon from their web inventory. Rewards will vary based on whether players are new/returning or an existing account, but offer exciting items to utilise, gaining up to 10,000 gear scores.
- In tandem with the Back-to-Arche event, a number of other celebrations will also be taking place. Starting on June 23 and running until July 28, a Level Boost Event will allow players to purchase support packages for each level from the Marketplace, helping players level up faster with growth stones.
- Additionally, a Daily Consumable Aid Event will enable players to purchase the Homecoming Warrior’s Gift from the Marketplace; this can be bought once a day to assist in combat. While a Level Achievement Event sees the Passionate Leap: Great Prairie Celebration package available at the Marketplace. This will include a Bound Lucent Serendipity Stone, Fruit of Effort Box, and much more.
