Stuck on something?

Ask in the ArcheAge channel on Discord — one server covers every DC realm, and a GM is usually about.

One world, many lives

Play it your way

ArcheAge doesn't put you on rails. Merchant, farmer, pirate, soldier — or all four in a week.

Open-sea piracy
The high seas

Open-sea piracy

Run trade packs across open water — or sink the ones who do. The ocean is the richest and most dangerous road on the map.

Housing and farms
Your land

Housing & farms

Claim a plot, raise a house, grow crops and livestock. Real property in a shared world, defended by real fences and real labor.

A living world
The wilds

A living world

Sea monsters, contested continents and a map that changes hands. Exploration here has weight and consequence.

Faction war
The frontier

Faction war

Guild-scale conflict over territory and trade lanes. Bring numbers, bring a plan, and hold what you take.

How do I start playing?

Create an account on this site, install the game through the Deadly Crusaders Launcher by choosing ArcheAge from the list, then sign in with the same account. The launcher downloads and patches the client for you.

Do I need a separate game account?

No. One login works for both this website and the game.

World news

Main story quests

We are working to resolve problems with the main story questline. If you reach a step that will not advance, post the quest name here and we will pick it up.

Terrain and geometry fixes

We are working through terrain and geometry problems across the world. Some fixes are already live and more are still in progress. If you find a spot where you fall through the ground, get stuck in scenery, or an NPC is standing in mid-air, tell us roughly where and we will add it to the list.

Ask Natsu in Discord Network

Our Discord helper can now answer common questions on its own - how to make an account for a specific game, where to register, how the launcher works, and whether a server is up. Just ask in the game channel; you do not need to tag it.
