ArcheAge : CBT5 announced & we’re invited!

Jul 20,2012 - by 20


Yup. ArcheAge is back, with another test scheduled for August 16th to August 31st. The upcoming CBT5 is going to be the last one in preparation of the game’s Open Beta that will begin sometime around the end of 2012.

XLGAMES has contacted us, to let us know of the dates and ask us(?) if we’d like to play the game. We declined.

Nah, just kidding. We’re gonna be playing the game 24/7, hopefully with a livestream for you to enjoy. Either way expect lots of new screenshots and youtube gameplay videos.
I’m personally very interested to play the game again because a)its fun, b)its fun and c)its now completely imported to CryEngine3 and I want to see how smooth it runs.

Oh, there’s a new ArcheAge video on youtube, you can enjoy watching it below. Have a nice day everyone!



Rumors have it that Cpt. BetaCake was once a mere mortal. In human years he would be 28 years old. Nowadays, he finds peace in sharing gaming news and leaks.

        Poor Entaro :(

        • BetaCake

          Why’s that?

          • http://twitter.com/ArcheAge_Videos Let´s Play ArcheAge

            Because you want to steal his precious strawberries :D

          • BetaCake

            You mean I want to steal more than he does! Cause we were both going on theft rampages trying to see who can steal more…. :D

  • RebinLAisBack

    Are they actually going to have quest in this game or are you expected to try to live out your life in this virtual world like a loser?

    • BetaCake

      There are quests in the game, yes. And yes, you can also become a total loser in ArcheAge if you really wanted to.

      • MrGrimord

        Is there multiple ways to get levels ? How is the level progression ?

        • BetaCake

          You can level by playing the game in any way possible. Killing mobs, questing, crafting, gathering, building. Everything you do gives you some amount of EXP. If I’m not mistaken PvP too, but I’m not 100% sure about that. It’s been a while.

  • MrGrimord

    GRATS.

    It will only last 2 weeks ? Damn.

    Can you tell us more about the new features in this CBT ?

    • BetaCake

      Sorry MrGrimord, no more details were revealed at the moment. Just the dates and the hint for an Open Beta at the end of this year.

  • hareynash

    grats about the invite! one thing im curious about though is what is the “source of conflict” in this game if you will, like say in GW2 the primary source seems to be the elder dragons where as with WoW its w/e the expac baddie is as well as the opposite faction.
