AAClassic - One Year Anniversary
Celebrating a year of adventures: A Message from The Darus
Hello everyone,
Today marks a huge milestone in our beloved project: Its first anniversary. It has been one incredible year since we've embarked on this project together. From the very first day, you guys have made this server a special place among the ArcheAge world. Your passion, dedication and love for the game have shaped Classic into a truly special server. As we celebrate our first anniversary, let's take a moment to reflect on our achievements, share some exciting news and look forward to the future!
A Whole Year: Highlights
1. Launch Day
On this day last year, we opened the gates to our vision of Erenor. We welcome an overwhelming amount of players. The launch was difficult: We ran into many crashes, we had huge performance issues. Luckily only 2 days later we were able to fix the performance issues and finally let the server run the way we envisonned it. At that time, we experience an outpour of love and support that truly got all of our team addicted to this project. Unforgettable memories were made then and set the tone for the year to come.
2. Custom Updates
Throughout the year we have been pushing custom updates to try and make AAClassic truly unique. From features such as replanting to new boats and events, we've tried to provide players with fresh content and a game to enjoy at the deepest level. The community's feedback has been invaluable in shaping our decisions and we are thankful we had so many players willing to spend hours to help us make the best server we can
Looking Ahead: What's coming next
1. Player-made Addons
We have been working on publishing an Addon API for players to extend upon the game's UI. This means adding a lot of flexibility and new features, some things previously never thought possible. We hope this brings another level of customization to ArcheAge Classic. Internal tests have shown very promising addons and some community members were given early preview to help us make the Addon API as expansive as possible.
With patch 1.2.17, we'll be enabling the addon system for players to using & creating. This comes next maintenance, on the 7th of August! If you're curious about the capabilities of addons, here is a small list of possibilities:
- Buff Alerts
- DPS Meter
- Tradepack Turn-in Counter
- Korean Font on Damage numbers
- In-world Symbols
- Saving Raid Roles
And so much more! We're excited to see what you guys come up with. The Addons and Addons-Dev-Chat channel on Discord are now accessible, with a tutorial and some example addons.
2. Patch 1.3, also known as 3.5
This one has been in the works for a while now. We've been working on it for a long time and the Public Test Server should be opening up soon! We hope to have a full release of 3.5 before the end of the Summer, if everything goes right during testing.
3. The Way Ahead
Some of you may wonder what the plans are past 1.3, to which we answer: Wait and See! We have two major custom patches planned, going over some dearly loved content, ravamping or expanding it. We want to keep working on what makes ArcheAge shine and we're excited to move forward and tell you more about our plans in the coming months.
Thank you
As we celebrate the first year of Classic, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. Your support and ethusiasm towards Classic have been the driving force behind our success. Here's to another year of the game we all love so dearly, to the adventures, the friendships and conflicts that create this amazing game. Together we'll continue to make this server the best place to play ArcheAge.
On that note, make sure to check your website profile, a small gift is waiting for you!
Happy Anniversary!
