Crownfall FAQ.

Crownfall is a free, independent ArcheAge remake and private-server project. We are rebuilding the game in our own Crownfall Engine, with the goal of preserving its shared-world sandbox: exploration, life at sea, housing and player conflict.

The engine rebuild is central to Crownfall. We are recreating the experience in Crownfall Engine, so this work includes the client and how the world is presented. Familiar ArcheAge gameplay is the reference; that does not mean every system or balance decision will remain unchanged.

Crownfall is in early alpha. The published film and captures show actual scenes from Crownfall Engine. They show the project taking shape, but they are not a promise that every depicted system is complete or ready for public play.

No. Crownfall is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by ArcheAge’s original developer or publisher. Game names and marks belong to their respective owners.

There is no public client download or working account-registration flow on this website yet. You can watch the footage, read the gameplay and class guides, and join Discord now. Access instructions will accompany a future test announcement; joining Discord does not itself grant test access.

A public launch date and testing schedule have not been announced. Follow the official Discord for future testing announcements, including who can join and how. We will publish installation steps when a client is available, rather than send you through an unfinished registration or download process.

Crownfall is intended to be free. Details about shops, payments and progression will be shared later.

Experience, loot and labor rates, progression settings, test resets and any future wipe policy have not been announced. Do not assume that progress from a test will carry forward. The eventual test announcement should explain its conditions before you create a character.

An ArcheAge class combines three skillsets. Our guide presents 14 skillsets and 168 core active abilities, so you can compare combat styles and read what each ability does. It is a reference for understanding the system, not a final Crownfall balance table or a guarantee that every combination is available in a test.

That is the goal. We want the freedom to explore, sail, build a home and take part in guild rivalries to remain central. Individual mechanics, content and progression may change as they are rebuilt and tested. The game overview separates that direction from settings that have not been announced.

The early-alpha trailer and images labelled Crownfall Engine captures come from the project. The gallery also contains original ArcheAge reference images, labelled separately. A reference image illustrates the source game; it is not evidence that the same feature is already implemented in Crownfall.
