Today, XLGAMES announced the server opening time for ArcheAge Korea’s Open Beta phase, which will be on 2nd January at 8:00am (Korean time). The client has apparently been downloaded over 250,000 times thus far.

Along with the news, the Korean media outlets have also reported that while ArcheAge has been confirmed for China (2014 official launch), Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong, the first steps have been taken to launch the game in Europe, North America and Russia.

Yesterday, fansite Let’s Play ArcheAge also reported the rumor about Russia’s biggest MMO publisher, Mail.ru, clinching the deal for ArcheAge Russia. It seems like the rumor is true afterall, with ArcheAge Russia the first server outside of Asia!
