ArchLord: Interview with Dae Hwan Kim

The MMORPG, ArchLord, has been one of the most awaited games around and to quench the thirst of the gaming community, Codemaster has announced that Pre-Order Packs of the game are now available at GameStop and EB Games. This pre-order pack can be purchased and downloaded online at the GameStop website. Aside from that, some of the people behind the game has been answering some questions about it and had been shedding light about how the game was conceived, where is it gonna go, and what could be in store for all of us. One of those people is Dae Hwan Kim — head of ArchLord’s design team.

The Chief Designer gamely shared about the rich and vast characters that players could choose from. He says that every character has its strengths and flaws. “Human is the first race to learn to use fire, and as a result were the first race that were able to learn to use iron…They have the highest defense power of all the races. The Orcs talents lie with the Earth. They are also blessed, or cursed, with a strong desire to win. This means that they have a higher tendency to attack than all the other races. Moon Elfs have a great ability to control water, but due to their background they also have strong abilities in all the other elements. Their main strengths lie in magic and summoning as a result of which their magic skills are set higher than other races.”

It was also surprising to note that Dae Hwan Kim mentioned that “in fact almost 80% of ArchLord is solo play. The rest is made of group play in the form of quests, raid bosses and guild related adventures.” On the other hand, PvP gameplay will be focused around guild vs. guild battles.

For now, they have decided that players won’t be able to customize their UI. As for character accessories, “weapons and armor suits are divided into normal/rare/unique and can be obtained from the world in this order of difficulty. In order to fully make the most of the gaming experience players are going to have to strive to obtain the best weapons and amour as they play through the game.”

He also divulged that “beta numbers are going very well and we are already oversubscribed hugely! The BETA will commence in August and we urge gamers to sign up asap to avoid disappointment.”
