It ends up being a fun MMO romp for casual players and a rich PvP hamster wheel if you're sitting out there with an axe to grind. [Christmas 2006, p.84]

The game has some rubberbanding (where you bounce back a dozen yards or so while running) but that does not occur all that often.

Whether you'll ever get to see much of it is highly questionable, though, given that the time between starting and becoming completely despondent with ArchLord is likely to be minimal.

I personally wouldn't recommend ArchLord to anyone; there are much better games out there and much better ways to waste a few hundred hours or so.

Other than the exclusive ArchLord gimmick, we're left with a dated-looking game with limited classes and a lot of grind, and a miniscule chance of something cool at the end if you really throw yourself into it. Not exactly our cup of mead.

Archlord is nothing but a grind, one with very few players. [Mar 2007, p.63]

Don't play this game. Its boring, its repetitive, and all of the elements in it that are supposed to hook you and draw you in have been executed before and far more effectively in other games.

The Game was pretty good in Episode 3, but after Webzen bought the License from Codemasters it all went downhill very fast. Duping, gltiching and scamming was the way to go in this Game. The community was terrible - always pretty salty and mean. The Game itself was a masterpiece in mw opinion, it was fun in pve & pvp but the transfer from codemasters to webzen broke it's neck. The Game got closed in 2014 since Webzen brought awful patches and lost players...

ArchLord - A long story about a game that got alot of potential, but the publishers destroy it step by step. Codemasters don't fix bugs, then Webzen take the game 2010 and destroy it more with the item-shop. It's sad, because ArchLord got a nice PvP system and a good graphic, but, you know, that's not all.
