ArcheAge, Ultima Online's rebirth?

Yeah that's exactly what happened to Wildstar, they opened too many servers cause of all the whiners on launch day and then a few weeks later everywhere was a ghost town, which lost them even more players.

Not to say it's not annoying though, 4000 queue on Dahuta :(

Thats no excuse...there are plenty of other very big f2p online games, none of them had you wait in a 24 hour queue to get a damn game. They must have known the game was going to be this big, yet they choose not to get adequate servers to ease the queue.

And I would go patron, but you still wait in same size queues as a patron so it's a waste of money at present.

You really didnt play any MMOs at launch did you?
 
Then you have pretty bad memory. I played neverwinter on release and that had pretty large queues, wasnt even near as hyped as this. Wildstar was so bad they added like 6 extra servers, few weeks later everyone was whining that the servers were dead.

I'm not sure why you expect a F2P MMO to go flawlessly with no queues.
 
Had a bash at this today, and thought it was quite fun. I won't commit to paying any money though until things settle down and I have at least some chance to get land etc.
I've chosen the Dahuta server if there any OcUK guilds going ( I'm on the Nuian/Elven faction ).

didnt think you can get land without paying ? ;/
 
I queued on Orchidna (my character is on Dahuta) just cause I wanted to get in quickly and have a bash with a different build, but the queue went down suprisingly fast!

From 2000+ to 600 in less than half an hour. Kinda wish I'd queued on Dahuta now lol, can I open a second ArcheAge using a different account maybe to queue there while I play? Obviously would have to make another character, but mine on Dahuta is only level 5 lol.
 
Managed to login earlier today and played up to lvl10. (On Eanna server)
The game plays predictably (I.e. traditional mmorpg style), but very refined.
The world has a nice feel and style, combat is fluid and responsive.
Currently I'm specced Sorcery / Shadowplay / Witchcraft, and it seems decent. Though I may switch to a Occultism based build if I can make it work well.
 
Ok, I'll stick with Orchidna tonight then lol.

I'm only trying out various builds anyway to see what I actually want to play, can't make a decision on a proper character with so much choice and not knowing what most things do!

Edit: Got in on Orchidna after about 45mins, not too bad.

I don't see why not. These things are always account based rather than IP.
 
Turns out you can just log out to character select and it doesn't make you re-queue when you come back. I left it there for the past 2 hours, came back and it let me straight back into the game :)
 
Maybe you should queue on a lower pop realm then.

I started queueing around 30 minutes ago and I've went from 3.5k to 2.2k
