MMORPG.com Lead Writer Bill Murphy has been spending the wee hours of the morning playing in the Korean closed beta of ArcheAge. He's got some closed beta impressions to share as the game nears release in Korea. Check out Bill's thoughts on ArcheAge Closed Beta 3. Leave us a comment or two when you're finished.

But ArcheAge uses the CryEngine well and seems to be a healthy blend of both theme-park MMO questing and sandbox crafting. Now bear in mind that I’ve only tip-toed my way to level five, which is hardly long enough to gauge the full game, and also remember that I was playing the Korean client and faced a significant language barrier. Even so I found ArcheAge to be very familiar and easy to pick up, but containing plenty of depth that I was left wanting an English translation posthaste.
