Is ArcheAge still being updated? — the short answer, with the evidence.

44.8
Weak

Elixir Rating

52% of 7,335 Steam reviews are positive, which after adjusting for sample size gives a reception score of 50.8. It was sold as a game that would keep being worked on, and the developers have gone dormant — subtracting 6.0.
