ArcheAge Previews: Making the Jump from East to West:
E3 2013 was the coming out party for ArcheAge online’s adventure into the Western market. Beta signups for the Trion Worlds published edition of the game are now open, and the San Franciscan based company brought XLGames to the show in order to highlight an early localized build of Jake Song’s massive sandbox undertaking. Ken Rossman and Victoria Voss were on hand from Trion Worlds to give us a nice overview of the game, while we also went behind closed doors with XLGAMES’ Kyoungtae Kim to chat about how the game’s been received in Korea, how the sandbox is making a comeback, and how players in ArcheAge aren’t just combat comrades… but neighbors in a living breathing world reminiscent of the golden years in Ultima Online.

Black Gold Previews: E3 2013 Preview:
We stopped by the Snail Games booth at this year’s E3 to check out Black Gold, an interesting title coming early next year by the developers of the wuxia-themed MMO, Age of Wushu. The game was playable on the show floor and we did get a short couple of minutes with it, but what we’ll be talking about today will primarily focus on what was shown to us live by the developers.
