Absolutely. Want some PvP ? Rob traderunners, camp trade routes, organize port blockades, steal ships, destroy boats, PK greens and raid fishermen. Be a fucking bandit. Hitting the enemy's wallet and dealing with consequences will always be more fun than AFK'ing in some capital, waiting to bid on a key to open a 70v70 Lemmings instance. Oh nice, you own a castle ? Pal, we own the seas.

No it's definitely a gold driven game where much of the gold production methods involve PvP or 'risk' of PvP. This would be especially true if inter-continental trade runs were more lucrative than intracontinental ones, which happens in 1.7 iirc.

Most of the west has no idea who the fuck DA is and despises GB.
The western guilds who can't stand TWO are the same as the eastern guilds that can't stand PRX. They are shitty PK guilds who get butthurt when a large guild hunts them down and stomps on them.

This sounds like a great game, it's too bad it doesn't exist on a majority of Archeage's servers.

This is very true, I"m still not 50 and I spend a good amount of time in the game. I just spend it exploring, looking for illegal farms and messing around in the ocean.

How is TWO any different then PRX? Please enlighten me. Oh, and keep in mind I'm not in TWO and couldn't care less what they do, I've just just never seen them do anything to cause all the whining in faction, other than simply being zergy and having a leader who's more pay-to-win than most.
Well for starters, PRX doesn't have an overflowing image problem from guild leadership continually trying to stick their nose deeply in other guilds' business (namely the PvP guilds), only to have a rather open bitchfit when the other guilds won't kiss their ass. This is especially the case when their Guild Ambassador is looking more and more like the Guild Jester every time he opens his mouth on the forums. TWO has continuously shown that they can't handle a diplomatic situation worth a shit to the point where even the Eastern guilds are taking shots at their ineptitude in public forums. You've never seen them do anything to cause their principle source of problems because a lot of this is in backrooms.
There's also the fact that PRX tends to show up to a throwdown regardless of the situation, while it takes TWO an ulterior motive to finally get their asses to places like Halcyona and deploy force. Keep in mind that I did say previously that when they finally did show up in Halcyona (which was approximately a week before Auroria release), it was with so much /faction self-backpatting that the back is likely no longer existent from being beaten so much. Meanwhile, the guilds they like to shit on were showing up and had to deal with the numbers a unified East was throwing out. Furthermore, that bragging they've done about attacking Caernord and being the only guilds fighting the East? Other guilds have been doing it just as long, if not far longer. First time we ever saw them show up to throwdown in Hasla, Halcyona or Caernord, it was not to fight reds, but to back up Catalyst for starting shit, only to get the tar beaten out of them until they could take advantage of the infamy system to whittle down numbers.
Of course, that was before Catalyst was beaten so hard that they fairweathered out of TWO's alliance and had a good ol' fashioned schism.
Now if PRX is doing something similar, please inform me right now. Because I actually have respect for PRX, and that goes back to GW2.

Be careful asking Raes anything about PRX, he had a slight manic meltdown earlier in this thread about PRX.
Ah-hah. Thanks for the heads up.
EDIT: He's with Pace? Hah. That explains a few things.

Oh, it does? Cool. Why don't you tell us which guild you're in? One of the west's shitty PK guilds who have to band together to have a chance against us? Or one of the groups of ineffectual bads who are always crying for help? Just curious.
As for TWO, sounds like people think Sorceror is a dick, plus they are mad that TWO doesn't help them? Did I miss anything?

This game is like the mmo to play if you like exploration. It just doesn't get old for me gliding off some vista and going on forever - until I fall to my death when my glider expires. In other mmos the points of interest might be some little easter egg the devs threw in or some rare named. In this game its some fuckin tradepack or fishpack with a bunch of nearby bloody foot prints that you canleave a comment on, or some creatively placed treefarm that you are stoked for finding. In other words its cool how the exploration portion of the game is really player driven. There's also shit like hidden tunnels with obscure quests and quest mobs, lots of random achievements , some of which are not easy to get, which really flesh out the exploration aspect. It is something they really did well in this game. I blow half my day just dicking around and trying to glide/yata jump to places and quite often it ends up being worth it.

Yeah that's his trigger word. Come on guys.
Well it's certainly more amusing than 5 pages of goofy looking characters and potential players asking questions.
I wish I could make a poll on who had the bigger meltdown: McQuaid, Kegz, or Raes.
