Producer Merv Lee Kwai outlines the team's goals for 2015.

ArcheAge fully launched in North America last year with its fair share of triumphs and problems. Merv Lee Kwai, a newer producer on the team, took to the forums last week to give a rundown on what players can expect this year.

Some of the key improvements being made include:

• Slow introduction of alternative drop methods to the game to help combat inflation
• Some popular cosmetic and companion items (such as the Sloth glider) will be obtainable via the loyalty system, in addition to supply crates
• The team will be adding new mechanics like a weekly ranking system for the PvP Arena and Fishing Tournaments
• Trion will be evaluating top tier drops and rewards to ensure that they are appropriate for the amount of effort involved
• More bots and hackers kicked from the game
• Players now see the initial stages of the road to Diamond Shores, Secrets of Ayanad, which is populated with creatures and quests designed to support the level cap increase to 55
