I left for the bar at 2200 hours, just got back at 0200 hours, and I still have 500+ in front of me.
Adventurers,
The North American ArcheAge servers will be unavailable at 3:00 AM PDT (GMT-7) on Wednesday, September 17 for a scheduled maintenance. The servers will be accessible again within six hours. This downtime address a number of issues including granting Patron status to all players who should have it, removing Patron status from a small number of players who shouldn't have it, and adding five days of Patron time to cover the time Founders spent in Head Start (which we had said would be reimbursed). Additionally, we'll be extending the server queue system's grace period from five minutes to ten minutes.
Once this maintenance is completed, it will be repeated on the European ArcheAge servers which will be unavailable at 7:00 PM PDT (GMT-7) on Wednesday, September 17 for about six hours as well. In-game announcements will be broadcast in advance of each outage.
Thanks for your patience!
there will be another land rush when they open auroria. Theres a ton of land there for houses and people will probably replace houses on the mainland for houses there too.On one hand, really glad I waited on this; ques frustrate the shit out of me. On the other hand, Founders still got all the land, so the packs weren't a total waste if you got a house down. Really want a house if I'm going to play a Sandbox, hoping some of the land grab frees up as taxes start rolling in--still thinking of trying to play once servers get settled.
Calling them illegal farm is a bit misleading. Essentially you can plant stuff just about anywhere in the game, but stuff planted in your farm is protected, no one but you can harvest them. Stuff planted elsewhere is free for the taking by anyone, although they will get criminal points. Planting stuff in unprotected area is referred to as illegal farm. It's not illegal, just unprotected.Could someone explain to me the concept of illegal farms?
To add a bit - they got the name "illegal farms" because you don't pay taxes on them. From the view of the in-game world, it's illegal to have a farm without paying taxes. It's one of the sandbox-y elements of the game that the game doesn't prevent you from doing it though, and leads to a lot more fun gameplay.Calling them illegal farm is a bit misleading.

Since there is limited amount of protected farmland, people take risk of putting stuff in hidden area hoping no one will find them.
If you do nothing illegal ever, you'll never go to trial. If you're there, you're guilty of *something*. There's an issue of having to flag bloodlust to kill enemy healers, since they don't auto-flag from healing bloodlusted people, but other than that, you did something.So the justice system sounds kinda cool - does it actually work though, or is it just a gimmick? The idea of having a jury is nice in theory but what motivates players to give a fair verdict?
Can anyone shed some back story on Laughing Coffin? I see them pretty frequently on Naima and folks are always trashing them in faction chat. How did they earn such a reputation?It also works in that you can get a stack jury depending on server politics with guilds. "Oh, we're in PRX, and the guy on trial is Laughing Coffin. Fuck this guy, max sentence!"
They're a PK guild. From googling around, they got kinda infamous in Sword Art Online (I don't even know what the hell that is). That's funny that there's one on multiple servers now. I don't know if there's any relation to the original, or just new people "carrying on the tradition".Can anyone shed some back story on Laughing Coffin?

Welp waited 6 hours, got down to 1 then it vanished. Screen turned black for 1 minute and got a message the Gods have disconnected you. Then it closed.
..., but won't complain I have spent $0 on this game so far.
There's a double reason not to log out.You and the thousands of other players are doing this. Apparently this is an issue.
