24th of December - The surprise

[Carendash]

Dear Community,

It's time for us to give you what you all wanted.
You asked questions like:
"Is Khrolan still up"
"What's going with Socke, did she leave?"
"What about the old ArcheAge Crew, are all gone?".

I told you that we want to make things possible you guys ask for and as you also noticed, I was evading those questions for a week in PM's and in several threads. Sorry

THIS is your little christmas present. Take it away Khrolan

Clownie..., Tinen

The ArcheAge team has been hard at work under our new outfit. We’ve overcome many challenges and still have plenty of work to do.
Applegod and Tinen have been hard at work with our operations teams transitioning services off the old Trion infrastructure while the rest of the team focuses on tasks related to the build pipeline: Localization, QA, and day-to-day conversations with the XL team about near term releases.
I have been working to plan the 2019 release schedule and I have to say that there is an awesome amount of content planned. We’ll reveal some of it to you early next year!

Communication remains one of our top priorities and you’ve seen many new faces join the team over the last month.
The customer support team continues to be rebuilt and I must thank you for waiting while we work to address any tickets you’ve submitted during the transition.
That said, I hope you have a happy and safe holiday season!

I feel like what people do not realize is that it has been a lot of transition work. We are lucky the game stayed running at all. This is not a white knight post, just reality.

I am sure that Gamigo has their own way of doing things and Khrolan and team have had to adjust to it.
I am sure that XlGames and Gamigo have a lot of complicated things to work out still.
Trion basically went bankrupt so there obviously is many financial items to work out so that this all works.

Merry Christmas, it is nice to see you guys and that you did not get secretly eliminated. It might be more convincing if Khrolan was holding a copy of today's newspaper or something? It seems a bit hollow the comment about communication, you could at least have one thread where you say once a week "still working on everything, excited about 2019, here is current photo of me holding today's newspaper"

Again, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, hopeful for 2019.

I am very happy to see a life sign of Merv and Sophie ( and of course the others, i do not know in real life :-) )!
I wish all of you and your family a merry christmas and a happy new year.

Sophie, dir wünsche ich in Deutsch ein Frohes Weihnachtsfest, und einen Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr. Ich hoffe wir sehen uns mal bei einer Gamescom wieder!.

I know that this transition is not very easy, but i think you do it right.

Greetings from Germany
