ArcheAge Classic
A free-to-play MMORPG of trade, sailing, farming and open-world PvP.
Server online
What is AAClassic+?
It's our new game client. Moving to 64-bit removes the memory limit behind a considerable number of crashes, the UI now runs on its own thread, and it's the base for all our client work from here.
"It's not a fresh start, a new server, or a major content update. It's still the same ArcheAge Classic you know, just running on an improved foundation." Aguru, The Road to 2.0: Part 1
The beta is open to everyone. Update to launcher 2.2.0 or newer, opt in from the launcher, and switch back whenever you like. There are known bugs, so both clients stay available until it's ready to be the default. We don't have a date for that yet.
