The Great Prairie Of The West Is Now Available in ArcheAge

A whole new area opened up in ArcheAge today with the release of the game’s latest update, bringing with it a Wildflower Forest and a place known as the Forgotten Spike as well as plenty of other things to discover. Among the many things included in the update is the Guardian Scramble, a faction competition in which teams fight over the “guardians” in the Great Prairie. These battles take place twice a week and offer plenty of rewards – for both the winners and the losers.

To celebrate the update launch, XL and Kakao Games are hosting a “Back-to-Arche” event. The event kicks off today and will last until August 25. During the event, players can earn up to $1500 in in-game rewards as a coupon from their web inventory by logging into the game’s site. The amount awarded is based on whether or not players are new, returning, or an active account, but everyone will get something. At the same time, the developers are hosting other events, such as a level boost event, and a daily consumables event.
