MMO Culture is reporting via Media IT that XL Games is about to undergo restructuring after the poor performance of ArcheAge in Korea. According to the report, recent updates including siege equipment were not received well by the community, with many complaints focused around ongoing balance issues between classes. The company’s decision to move ArcheAge over to free to play was apparently not successful enough to turn over the declining revenues.
How this will affect ArcheAge in other territories, where the game has apparently met success in Japan and is set for launch in China with no release date in sight for North America and Europe, will have to be seen. The reports are, at this point, unconfirmed as no layoff has taken place yet.
