Architect Edition
No you do not have to pay extra for the AE feature. It is part of the normal game, it has been in for quite a while now! No purchase required (excpet for the game).
Hmm, ok. Weird that you still sell the AE in the NCsoft Store though. I almost wasted my money on it thinking I needed it to make missions. Perhaps that should be looked at? I know it gives you the game too, but still, others have probably done what I almost just did.
The architect edition came out when the mission architect came out to help advertise the Mission Architect.
May seem dumb, but do you have to buy this to create missions? And did it come with any other purchases? I bought the Going Rouge complete digital, did it come with this?
