They can farm like everyone else, just can't own regions/castles. Your dominion is the high seas!

Probably because every single serious PVP guild would then go pirate... Which would probably destroy the game inside a month.
I'm thinking that archery has the most burst. Open with a bleed arrow which combos with phantom blow or whatever it's called.

I'm curious to what that means exactly.
"We've already had to expand the capacity of the server to three times the number of characters that one world is expected to have"
Do they mean actual characters...because right now everyone probably has 3-4 alts to test different specs.
Or do they mean accounts, or concurrent characters online at the same time?
I'm curious since I wonder how this affects real estate right now on Alpha. Is this how crowded the housing areas are meant to be, or is the plan to less people per server, and more room for houses and farms and not be as crowded.
I'm curious, because in no way do I feel like the game is actually crowded when playing, I mean it seems to me to be a healthy population...you see people everywhere but doesn't feel overcrowded except for the farms/housing.

I would say it is fairly certain he means concurrent connections, ala separate accounts. He seems to be referring to back-end hardware for the servers when he talks about expanding. This would have absolutely zero impact on in game real estate
That's the #1 thing that stood out to me in that letter. I interpreted it to mean number of total accounts. If the alpha server is currently 3X overpopulated, it means the land grab rush at launch won't be as mad the dash as a lot of people were expecting.

It also means that pvp is going to be 3x less fleshed out population wise sadly. Especially considering that PVP is just an inconvenience right now outside of arena and banana camping.

ArcheAge alpha popularity forces Trion to upgrade hardware
ArcheAge
One of our awesome Massively readers forwarded to us an email from Trion Worlds CEO Scott Hartsman to ArcheAge's alpha testers. In it, Hartsman thanked the players and noted how their numbers had helped to stress test the studio's hardware.
"The massive number of Archeum Founders has really helped us stress test the way we do things: We've already had to expand the capacity of the server to three times the number of characters that one world is expected to have," Hartsman wrote. "That you've propelled ArcheAge as high up as the #2 game on all of Twitch.tv has really been humbling for all of us. It makes us want to work even harder to deliver the best release that we possibly can."
Hartman reported that the studio had doubled the amount of server hardware twice since the alpha started. He also indicated that the team is preparing for a new alpha build, beta testing, and launch day.
