Over time as you learn the language the gibberish will eventually clear up, such as from вЂњ #)(' to 'Come itвЂќ to вЂњCome here Veysa ,this is itвЂќДЇunniest shit was when youвЂ™d talk shit and banter about someone in your native tongue (elvish) to a fellow elf and the player turns around and says in Nuian, вЂњyou know, IвЂ™ve studied elvishвЂќ In the game if you met a Haranya player with 0 language skill and spoke to him as a Nuian or in Elvish/Dwarvish itвЂ™d look like this #()&$&!&($#вЂќ to them. There are dialects in Archeage, a Nuian who is elven can speak their ethnicityвЂ™s language (elvish) and speak the continentвЂ™s language (Nuian). YouвЂ™d train this skill by going to NPC tutors in colleges, or inviting one to your home. For example, in Archeage there was a trade skill called вЂњlanguageвЂќ (which i thought was amazing). Unless I started swinging first, or i started taking their resourcesД®ven though the game was mainly PvP, PvEвЂ™rs still contributed and helped PvPers and vise versa. IвЂ™ve encountered Haranya folks on their land before - and most of the time they just ignored me. Regarding towns/townguards, guards only attacked you if you attacked a Haranya citizen as a Nuian on their soil. We didnвЂ™t see them all the time, but there were also moments where we met Haranyas and we just wave emote and move onвЂ¦ And try to speak their language lol. When we landed, thereвЂ™d be player bandits, groups of 5 folks or so patrolling trade routes to kill Nuian trade carts and take their goods. The town guards shot everyone on sight and alarms went off as well as cannons, repeaters, They patrolled the sea, killed opposing faction, or their own kind. BTW, like real life the sea has no law - therefore there were folks who played as вЂpiratesвЂ™. My guild and I would run trade runs with Haranyas, we would have to gather up enough people (around 10 or so) to set sail, land, and protect our trade cart with goods to trade with the opposing faction. You had two factions in Archeage, Nuians (with western humans, elves, dwarves) Haranya (some cat men and womenвЂ¦ think khajiits, eastern humans, and the dragon folk) The two continents are seperated by sea.

Besides the AWFUL combat and no PVP scaling, gear score, what made it fun was the very design of the PvP.

In Archeage pvp was mandatory in later levels, I believe around level 30? You still could PvE and quest, but the game was mainly PvP infact, PvE was lacking in Archeage, like New World, it was filled with fetch quests and generic writing. Archeage was a generic Korean MMORPG where gear stats mattered, no pvp scaling, very pay to win, ability rotations, tons of ability slots, more time spent = greater chance of nuking someone.
