Archeage - The ultimate fantasy sandbox mmo

ArcheAge is a free-to-play massive multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) that is advertised as an open-world sandbox. It is developed by XL Games and published/localized by Trion Worlds for the North American and European audience.

ArcheAge offers players a vast world to explore and conquer. The game does not have the linear progression common of other MMOs. Instead, players can choose to master combat by choosing between any 3 of 10 skillsets, build eloquent instanced homes or massive castles, raise plants and livestock, master crafting in any or all 21 professions, or influence the economy through an advanced trade system whenever they want.

ArcheAge places a significant focus on open-world PvP. Players may band together and fight in massive open world battles, both on land and at sea. Players may even choose to abandon their initial faction and become a pirate.

Called the Conquerors of the Continent, Nuians possess a deeply spiritual culture that revolves around Nui, the Goddess of the Hereafter. They revere the beauty and harmony of their fallen kingdom and fight fearlessly to maintain the traditions that brought them to power.

Skills
Nuians receive extra benefits for visiting the Hereafter, doubling the time their stats are increased after being resurrected.

Nuians enjoy reduced construction time for houses and castles, a legacy of the destruction caused by their rebellions and civil wars.

Elves seclude themselves deep in the forest, avoiding other races as much as possible. Though envied for their beauty, their behavior is considered incomprehensible: hoping for an honorable death, they seek out danger no matter the odds.

Skills
Conditioning for the rigors and strains of combat has given Elves the ability to hold their breath underwater for extended periods.

Spending decades near Gweonid Lake makes most Elves talented swimmers with increased speed.

The restless, nomadic Firran roam the wilds, fueled by dreams of reclaiming their former glory. They believe every life – no matter how small – is not only valuable, but plays a critical role in the natural world. All Firran strive to find their purpose and play their part.

Skills
Firran can use their quick reflexes and powerful bodies to decrease fall damage.

Long, non-retractable claws allow Firran to climb trees and ladders faster.

Harani are survivors in the truest sense, capable of extreme and heroic acts serving the interests (and preservation) of their people. Practical, cunning, and family-minded, it is no surprise the strength of their new kingdom rivals the strength of the kingdom they lost.

Skills
The Harani have mastered the use of portals to travel across their far-flung empire, reducing the cast time and cooldown of their Recall ability.

Settling the jungles of Mahadevi taught the Harani to be efficient laborers, reducing the time they require for logging and gathering.
