ArcheAge Downtime Compensation Revealed

By Michael Byrne, Editor in Chief Posted: December 4, 2014

In case you missed it, the ArcheAge servers have been having issues for the past few days. All servers were taken offline for emergency maintenance this past weekend and while 16 out of 21 servers were up as of yesterday morning, the last 5 didn't come back online until yesterday afternoon.

While no exact reason for the outage has been detailed yet (besides some rumors which I won't detail here until we have some type of confirmation), Trion Worlds has advised that lag and connectivity issues should be clearing up as well.

Trion Worlds promised that players would be compensated for the outage (although no rollback is planned for any of you that lost property because you couldn't log in to pay your taxes...yes those timers were rolling through the whole outage) and today they've released the details of that compensation:

For those of you that have been a patron:

5 Bonus Days of Patron Time

15 Superior Worker’s Compensation Potions (500 LP each)

30 Loyalty Tokens to use at the Loyalty Store on the rewards of your choice

3 Greedy Goblin Gummies (+10% Loot Drop Rate)

3 Frankenflavor Jawbreakers (+10% XP)

3 Marshmallow Sugar Pumpkins (+3% Move Speed)

For those that have not been a patron:

10 Superior Worker’s Compensation Potions (500 LP each)

15 Loyalty Tokens to use at the Loyalty Store on the rewards of your choice

3 Greedy Goblin Gummies (+10% Loot Drop Rate)

3 Frankenflavor Jawbreakers (+10% XP)

3 Marshmallow Sugar Pumpkins (+3% Move Speed)

What do you think? Is the compensation enough in your book? Let us know below! You can read Trion Worlds' official statement and apology here .

BTW the publisher sucks yeah, but the game still offers much fun and unique game play and is still better then most of F2P mmorpgs at this time. Still playing this with my mates, we still have lot of PVP and trade run action.
