Archeage is an MMO from 2014 from Trion Games. It is a semi-sandbox game as there are quests to run and the game world is pretty set, but there are also strong sandbox elements, such as open-world PVP, conquests, meaningful crafting and more. In 2019, a slightly different version called Archeage Unchained was released, where the notorious pay-to-win aspects of the old Archeage version were eliminated.
Archeage has a class system which is rather innovative in its approach. There are 12 basic skillsets that can be mixed in sets of three to create a complete class. This means that the total class options in Archeage are well over 120 unique classes. There are also no class restrictions regarding equipment, although stereotypical classes often find it best to use the stereotypical sets of armor and weapons as equipment sets give bonuses that align with the respective classes.
The crafting system in Archeage is intricate with layers of complexity. A virtual dream for those that enjoy activities such as crafting, gathering and farming in MMO games. It is also meaningful in the sense that numerous crafting proficiencies have a significant impact on the game’s economy.
