Earlier this week, Trion experienced server
issues across its games. These issues prevented players from being able to log
in and resulted in other stability issues. The servers are apparently fixed
now, but that alone doesn’t make up for the player experience.
With that in mind, Trion had decided to
compensate players in both RIFT and ArcheAge. First, players with Patron status
that logged in between November 9 and November 22 will receive a five-day time
credit in whichever game they play. Those who are not Patrons can also look
forward to something designed to ease the pain.
ArcheAge is an MMORPG developed by Korean
developer Jake Song (former developer of Lineage) and his development company,
XL Games. The game was released in Korea on January 15, 2013, Europe and North
America on September 16, 2014, and has also had a closed beta in China.
ArcheAge is described as a "sandpark" MMORPG, which the developers
say is a hybrid of the open content style of a "sandbox" game and the
more structured play experience of a "themepark" game.
RIFT players are being gifted with the
Bundle of Affinity containing 100 Affinity. The bundle is claimable by one
character on the account and can be accessed via the top right corner of the
RIFT store page.
ArcheAge players, on the other hand, will
receive the permanent cosmetic Turkey pet — Drumstick — and 1 Login Badge
representing 21+ days of logins. This pack can be claimed by visiting the
game’s site and logging in. Look for the ArcheAge Outage: Compensation pack.
