So this has been released for almost a year and a half in Korea. How are they liking it?
Looks like a Korean GW2.

Dunno, I was having GW2 flashbacks looking at those gameplay videos.
Have you played it?

I have played it. I can't think of anything it has in common with gw2 besides stuff like fantasy setting.
I'm talking more along the lines of the combat system. It's hard to tell from gameplay footage, but what exactly is different between the combat of this and GW2? Does it feel smoother? Etc. I figure it's the main aspect of the game that you'll be spending the most time doing, so combat is normally the first thing I look at when I'm looking for a fun game to play.
Looks a little clunky to me.

To say there are no similarities is as foolish as saying 'the game is a Korean GW2'.
A plane and a car both have wheels, and are both means of transportation... But to assert they are the same thing/experience because they share a couple features is preposterous. A pencil and a chair are both made of wood etc etc. you're on an enthusiast forum, and enthusiasts can make distinctions based on nuance.
That being said, even the combat systems are vastly different. The hallmarks of GW2's combat are hybrid tab/free target system, active dodging, limited action bars tied to weapon types, and swappable weapon action sets. None of those things are present in the video you linked, or ArchAge itself.
So I'm bad at judging games based on gameplay footage? Fine.
Anyway, this game is tab target, so I doubt I'd be interested in it anyway.

Did you alpha test Rift? Curious as to what you did to get a first round pick.

The default build that pops up on that link isn't important just linking the site for reference.
Warfare, finesse will.
CC immunity / breaks, stealth / damage / gap closers and some knock downs of your own. If I go melee it will likely be some combo of those lines.
I also enjoyed:
Sorc Necro finesse and Archer, Necro or Will, Finesse. Sorc is a little stronger 1v1 IMO but I enjoyed my archer as well. Archers are just a little bit of a late bloomer.
Friend of mine really enjoyed
Artistry / Devotion / ? not sure on his last spec. More team based but he really enjoyed it.
Having a lot of fun messing around on the RU servers. I can't wait until this releases in NA. Game just scratches several really important itches for me. PvP / Guild v Guild / Crafting / Economy / World / Graphics / Responsiveness / D-bag option etc
Kind of hard to not get excited for the game. Even with its short comings its still an excellent game.

I didn't get anything. I just knew they went out. I only get in betas from the charity of others lol. I have heard though from a few people they alpha tested rift.

I'm not too worried. I played enough of the Russian version to know I love the game and will buy my way into beta with the founder packs.
