Trion Worlds has reduced the pricing of ArcheAge following anger from European fans.

In a statement provided to VideoGamer.com this morning, Trion apologised for the “misunderstanding on [its] side that led to justifiable confusion” and announced that it would be reducing the price of its Patron packages to reflect earlier comments.

“Some of you have rightly pointed out that in a livestream leading up to ArcheAge’s launch, we mentioned that the Patron prices in GBP would match the same as our pricing for RIFT patron, and that this wasn’t the case by the time the game shipped,” said Trion.

“This weekend we promised to look into what happened there and get back to you. I’m happy to say that we spotted where the miscommunication was, which will help us do better in future assurances.

“In the meanwhile, we’d like to put our money where our mouth is. We’re making a price adjustment that brings reality in line with our previous assurance.”

A one month Patron will now cost £8.99, with 3 month Patrons and 6 month Patrons available for £23.97 and £41.94 respectively. Players who decide to purchase a Patron will also receive a one-time grant of bonus credits.

“For those of you on automatically renewing plans, you will cycle to the new, lower price when your existing cycle ends,” added Trion.

“We definitely do apologize for the misunderstanding on our side that led to justifiable confusion out in the world. Thanks very much for catching this!”
