ArcheAge Founder's Packs Available

Hackshield is causing a LOT of hassles for people and doesn't seem compatible with some antivirus programs.

I wonder if Trion will ditch Hackshield for its release.

That looked like a really interesting game. Until I checked what the founder packs really were about ... there are credits you can buy with irl money to spend ingame, then there are some sort of disenchanting tokens again available with irl money, and some teleporting tokens, same deal. Seems like the pinnacle of a pay to win game to me.

I agree that the whole 'credits' thing turns me off as well and I, personally, would approach this game with caution since I'm not a fan of P2W.

Besides Lineage 2, I can't think of an Asian MMO that was popular in the U.S. (or was picked up by a well-known company and marketed to be popular in the U.S.) which kept its anti-hack software when it was brought here. Aion and TERA are two games from Korea that still use GameGuard in Korea, but neither game launched here with that terrible software. I would imagine that Trion won't use such software in the English version, but only those in the alpha or on the alpha forums can find out this information. /shrug
