After the success of Beta 1, Trion has slotted a second closed beta phase.

Couldn't get enough of ArcheAge's recent closed beta, or didn't get an invite? You'll have another chance with Beta 2, dubbed "Setting Sail", which will run from 10am PT on Wednesday, July 30th through 10am PT on Monday, August 4th.

While larger gameplay changes will be ongoing over multiple builds, bug fixes, smaller updates, security updates, and localization changes are already in progress and on their way over to us for the next build. We’ll also be tweaking the items on the store to give you more of what you’re asking for! Remember, all of your credits will be refunded at launch, and your spending and feedback helps us to customize what’s on the store for you!

Based on the stability of CBE1 and the turnaround of key updates, we are thrilled to be able to announce our second Closed Beta Event: Setting Sail!

Our second beta event will start at 10:00 AM PDT (GMT-7) on Wednesday, July 30 and run through 10:00 AM PDT (GMT-7) on Monday, August 4. We expect it to be around three times as big as the first Closed Beta Event. We’ll have more invites for those of you who have signed up on the official ArcheAge website, and more giveaway keys than before, so you’ll have a better chance to get in! In addition, we’re holding a contest for you to win an opportunity to play on Alpha AND on Beta! As always, all Founders get into every Closed Beta Event!

We look forward to seeing you in ArcheAge!

The ArcheAge Team

For guaranteed alpha or beta server access you can purchase a Founder's Pack, or you can simply register for a chance to be invited to beta testing!
