Looking for a Freshstart. Going to try ArcheRage.EU.
I've been playing Archerage.NA since the day it launched and I love it! But I've done everything! I've maxed out all my professions, I have more gold than I know what to do with, I just have no more goals or achievements to work towards.
I desperately want a new Freshstart server, but it doesn't look like we're going to get one anytime soon. So I've decided to download and try the ArcheRage.EU server.
I'm thinking it'll be a real challenge! I'll be starting from scratch with a brand new character, on an existing, well established server with all of the punishing restrictions (such as no labor use until level 52) firmly in place.
That's OK though, that's the kind of challenge I'm craving.
So if anybody has played on this server, are there any major differences between NA and EU? Or are the two servers exactly the same?
One final question, will the EU version create its own separate folders to store things on my PC? Cause I don't want it to overwrite any of my ArcheRage.NA folders or documents.
Edit: Well, I took the plunge and downloaded the EU server. The game has installed itself in a separate folder on my C: drive, which is good, but both versions seem to be sharing the same CFG files and other data in the Documents folder and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.
First impressions: I'm experiencing more lag than I normally do in the NA server, especially when it comes to cut scenes and loading screens, but I can live with it.
There are a lot more players in the starting zones than I'm used to. I even saw a few low level players, which is extremely uncommon on the NA server.
Everything else seems to be pretty much the same. It's really strange starting with nothing again, but it's good fun :D
