ArcheAge 4.5 Update Launching April 5, Adding 2 New Progression Servers

Trion Worlds announced today that the next expansion for ArcheAge titled "ArcheAge: Legends Return" launches on April 5th and will be known as update 4.5. The new update adds new customizable dragon mounts which can be raised and used as battle mounts. The update also adds new major world bosses as well as major balance changes to many of the game's classes.

The launch of 4.5 also brings with it 2 new progression server, both of which will be available to free users on day 1. Players who pre-order a Legends Return Entry Pack can secure their names beforehand. These packs run for $9.99 - $99.99.

Personally, I'm quite glad to see Trion Worlds give access to progression servers for free. Numerous other titles, including Rift from Trion, requires a monthly sub to access these progression servers. I suspect the fresh start servers will be a big hit, as they have been with other MMORPGs. Like other progression servers, these new servers will start off with limited content and lower level caps and slowly release content to allow players to experience the game as it was back when it first launched.
