main2I normally don't write during the weekend but it's time for your weekly dose of ArcheAge Online. A lot of players have been busy with the constant updates that XLGAMES releases every week. ArcheAge has been in closed beta test for a while now and I am still enjoying every day of it! In this weeks report, I have provided six new HD gameplay videos for you featuring open world PvP, fortress wall construction, questing, and grinding.

Open World PvP

PvP is one of the biggest things in ArcheAge Online the developers made sure that players will often engage themselves in large scale battles. Thus the Northern Continent is one of the best places for massive open field PvP between the two nations. I've always enjoyed huge scale battles like the one shown above. Killing enemy players is easy, staying alive is a whole different story. If you end up straying away or pushing too far ahead of your alliance like me, then you'll get owned before you can run away like shown in the video above. I didn't even know I was pushed in that far because there were too many things going on at once!

Grinding in the Northern Continent

As of the moment the Northern Continent is the only place where players can grind to the current level cap, it's also one of the dangerous places to grind. Every now and then, you'll see guilds PK'ing enemy guilds and ganging them for fun. Eventually they will end up calling their own guildies for back up, alliance, and etc. Before you know it, you'll get caught up in a crazy huge war going on.

Questing and Grinding

There are special quests in the game that require you to kill or hunt a monster a specific number of times. Upon completion of these quests, you'll be rewarded with achium and a bunch of reputation points. It's a lot easier to complete these quests when you're a magician because of their crazy powerful spells.
