ArcheAge Adding Servers
ArcheAge’s launch is just a couple of days away, and players are already flooding the head start servers, resulting in long queues and a severe lack of housing space for intrepid explorers. In preparation for the full launch, Trion Worlds today launched two new servers. One server in North America and one in Europe.
Both servers are already up and running.

Rift Compensates For Shard Transfers
Going free to play has a habit of causing disruption, especially when it comes to the more popular servers. In the case of Icewatch and Akala, two European shards, the already popular servers became overloaded thanks to the influx of new players ready to give free to play a try, as well as the returning players who had already called the server home. As a result, Trion was forced to alleviate the load by converting the shards into “trial status,” forcing players to move their characters elsewhere using the game’s free server change tool.
What is trial status, you ask? When a server is put on trial status, only the starting cities of Meridian and Sanctum are available. Characters are fully accessible and do not lose any equipment, but must be transferred off of the server in order to play in areas beyond the starting zone. Transferring is free and does not carry any of the normal restrictions of how much platinum your character may have on them. A guild master may transfer his guild over to a new server, in which case each member will be notified on their next log in and be given the opportunity to follow.
Since players are understandably angry at this move, Trion is compensating refugees from Icewatch and Akala with exclusive titles, an exclusive wardrobe set, and +1000 loyalty.

Star Wars: The Old Republic, Dec 20th Release
You can cancel your preorder cancellations, as despite EA’s previous claims that The Old Republic could slip into early 2012, the publisher announced today that budding smugglers (and the other less important classes) will be able to log in before Christmas. North American players will gain access on December 20th, while European players will get their keys on December 22nd.
“This is an incredible moment for everyone at BioWare and our partners at LucasArts who have dedicated their lives to build this extraordinary game. We appreciate the patience from the millions of fans who have been waiting for the game’s release.”
You can head to the above link to see the price structure for multiple month subscriptions. For people in regions where The Old Republic isn’t being sold, you will still be able to buy the game and play on either the NA or EU servers, Bioware has already confirmed that there will not be any IP blocking. You’ll still have to pay the high shipping fees for a boxed copy, or have someone you trust in the appropriate region buy it for you.
