Gamigo published the pre-order pricing for the Founder packs for ArcheAge Unchained (AAU). The game will launch on September 30, 2019.
As noted before, the base game is expected to run around 20€ ($22 at current exchange rates). Thus each pack is basically the base game + credits + digital extras.
Since expansion scrolls are pretty much cash shop items in the existing free to play live game, one question is will those now be available as rewards or unlockable via gold (1-2 scrolls don’t even make a dent as far as opening all 150 slots in both personal inventory and warehouse).
Barunson E&A is going to take a hit with Astellia Online (launch on September 27th with the earliest head starts beginning on the 20th); AAU came out of left field and its pack info is now unveiled. Across the board, it’s just a better value (regardless of what you think of Gamigo) because Astellia just does not come close when you compare the depth of the game systems.
My biggest issue is wondering if Gamigo will be able to run this properly (like eventually trying to manage it with a skeleton crew like most of their other published titles from before the asset acquisition).
