I think for myself it will initially be just trying to figure out the game. I’ll try to focus some of my efforts towards perfecting my ship building. It will have to be a slow and steady thing, as I’m probably going to be like a lot of you, jumping in when my guild is doing things.

I like the idea of stopping by Arthus’s tavern and having a drink…Read more

I would like to Add:

I will be doing some farming as well growing crops and cooking food to sell in my Tavern. Simple Buffs and helpful healing foods will be provided to the guild. Drinks and potions created for distribution to the guild members. It will be fun to grow harvest and cook and progress through these skills.

I will gather herbs…Read more

I have to admit this got me thinking and reflecting. In reality, I am finding some similar feelings about Ashes of Creation and how I will play it or what my greater purposes will be when I do. I certainly wish to primarily focus on community and our overall good time together but where I use to believe my greatest focus would be on Raids and PvP…Read more

I’d like to roam around Alpha 2 for a better idea of what a d how resource and mob spawn will be to do and plan out my gatherings. Will look to the Ashes Knights of the Phoenix to roam with as we mess up many times till the getting is good. Really looking forward to finding rare mats through mountains, forests, desert, and riverlands to come. I am…Read more

Like the previous posts, real life obligations will keep me from no-lifing like I could in high school. That being said, I get s lot of vacation time from worm and plan to take a week off so I can do nothing but play.

Group play almost always takes priority when j jump on. If people are raiding, running dungeons or just exploring together; I…Read more

I will Hunt the local wild life for food and Learning the basic trades of survival like cooking and skinning and…Read more

Thousands of players in any game will create a meta. No matter what, eventually there will be “the best” team composition.
At least in AoC the meta will probably be team based since most meaningful content will require a team.
The great thing about 64 archtypes is that it will take time for a meta to crystallize, and it will be constantly…Read more

I have some friends that will probably be profession first. I really like the idea of that in an MMO. I will gladly go get them resources or protect them if they have to venture out into the world. I do agree with Donver that if they reach the end of the crafting path and have no further reason to craft then they might get bored.
Making items…Read more

The main concern with multi-boxing would be it being abused in PvP. Where there is a will there is a way.
That being said, someone is paying the monthly subscription and putting in the effort to level and gear extra characters.
In other MMOs multi-boxing leads to bots. But with open world PvP it isn’t easy to have bots. People will just kill…Read more

I am of the group of people who plan to be an artisan first character, I certainly want a super complex crafting system with insane customization, and I think the number of people who are going to be artisan first characters isn’t going to be high enough to worry about an abundance of people holed up in freeholds or nodes. but my first problem…Read more
