The Head Start for ArcheAge started yesterday but I'm just today sitting in the queue to login for the first time. I'm looking forward to hopping in and exploring this world again. When I played in the beginning of Alpha, I had a great time. I played just enough to know that it was a... Continue Reading →
I Refuse to Believe that MMOs are Dead
(First off, an apology. I have basically all but disappeared over here, but life + work + other projects have come into play, and good ol' CuppyVille has to sit aside while more important things come first.) When we last spoke, I was pretty enamored with WildStar. I even made some kind of proclamation on... Continue Reading →
Moving on from ArcheAge….for now!
Sometimes, you just have to know yourself and know your limits. I played ArcheAge up to level 18, farmed a bit, quested a lot, tried out a few class skill trees, and I know that 100% without a doubt I want to play this game in live. It's the kind of game that I could... Continue Reading →

There are countless seeds to plant and things to grow, and you will need to grow these things in order to craft and trade and make things for yourself. You can raise crops and plants but also animals,... Continue Reading →
ArcheAge: Why is everything SO adorable?!
The subject line of this post is not a complaint. I came into ArcheAge not really expecting to be blown away, and ending up realizing that a lot of elements of the game are *exactly* made for me. But nothing else demonstrates this quite so much as some screenshots of the cuteness. The screenshot above... Continue Reading →
ArcheAge, y’all! In the NA alpha!
I was fortunate enough to get into the ArcheAge NA Alpha this week, and I downloaded the client yesterday and hopped right in. I had watched a few streams (namely, Cohh's) and was more than a little intrigued by the game, so I'm super excited that I have a chance to really dig in and... Continue Reading →
