There are two servers for founders (archeum package):
Alpha and Omega
both are open to Alpha users. You buy this status with the above mentioned package.
These servers are always on with the exception of maintainances, fixes,...
These servers are separated from the servers for beta (-events).
After release the chars of the these servers can transfered to public test servers, but not to release-servers.
I hope, these informations are a bit helpful.
btw. the interest in this sandbox mmo is very high. Betakey-promotion-giveaways via trions partners (eg alienware) ran outta keys within hours.
afaik Trion plans to start 6 EU and 6 NA servers.
Because this game is not a complete new game (running in Korea already), they surprised the community with a very fast, and only a few days before announced, closed beta event. Same will be with release, I guess. So please don't think there's much time cause of alpha status.
There are already archage hacks (radar included). Please don't be the last, cause of underestimating the potential and interest in this game.
IMO as botter of FFXIV (using mmoviper of course), Archeage has more complex crafting. Not only crafting but gathering too, since around 80% of your crafting you need to grow something. All monster drop coinpurse, its like random box that gift around 30% of its exp and low chances of rare items, so we need bot for grinding too...
And there is trading pack to make money :
- Grows or raises something
- Gathering
- Than manually move to the gold trader
