Adventures Elsewhere, 2021 on

I started playing ArcheAge Unchained in February 2021. Initially I rolled a Warborn of the Haranya (East) faction, because the whole demonic thing was appealing. However, it was kind of disappointing from the start. First (& maybe most importantly), after I spent half an hour designing my character's looks, once ingame she didn't look anything like my efforts. I ended up deleting, for which ArcheAge makes you wait, depending on the character's level, & doing it over, trying to compensate for the ingame changes. In the end I was just "fuck it, it's not like I ever actually look at her face anyway." The Warborn tutorial is apparently in a completely different physical form (kind of like the Daeva lost memories in Aion) with WoW Death Knight type skills (you could just hit the keyboard with your forehead & whatever attacks you hit would kill everything around you). Once I started questing for real, the world was somewhat bleak & the NPCs were rude...
