I played ArcheAge for several years, which is the game that Ashes of Creation was inspired by.
Open world PvP games tend to draw a certain type of crowd. If you are unfazed by...how to put this politely...toxicity, the game itself will probably be great.
Yeah, the forced PvP thing is what's giving me hesitation.. even though my understanding is they've built a lot of anti-griefing into the system.. but.. still.. lol.
This is a true alpha. People playing now are testing systems & reporting bugs to the devs. Thousands of reports have been submitted. Many have been fixed. This is currently phase two, on January 12. Phase two goes until May, then phase three begins. It's estimated to take a year. Beta 1 and beta
2 will be after that, & should take 3-6months, each. The key you may purchase now gets you access to all that, + a month of game time after launch, & $15 in game currency for their cosmetics store. There is no box price. The sub will be $15/m, & prices will be localized to the region you play in.
The best advice I can give is when they say it's "alpha" they mean alpha. It's still very early development and you're buying into a playable concept more than a game.

I've extracted myself from the open world PvP community but I hope AoC succeeds and people love it.
Personally looking forward to Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen.
