[[Arkhona]] is actually just the primary planet in a system, one that has three different colored suns, for some reason, and with ten planets or moons of playable size, whilst initially there were hopes that down the line there will be downloadable content where you start fighting on a new planet. The closure of Eternal Crusade meant that such dreams were short-lived.

Part of the "problem" here is the engine mechanics, which deliberately makes all characters in the entire game somewhat sluggish (the best example is how infantry have a maximum turning speed, so upping your mouse sensitivity won't let you you 360 quickscope, and there's lots of other more subtle examples). It also doesn't help that many new players first start out as Space Marines before deciding which faction to go to next.

	Now many of you think that this is such wonderful news, right? Well... This is still up to debate since the game was being developed by the people who have given us such wonderful titles like '''Wet''', '''Dante's Inferno''' (PSP), '''[[The Lord of the Rings]]: Conquest''' (DS) and '''Naughty Bear'''. However, Behavior (the guys that were making this thing) pulled in talent from all around - especially from Funcom Montreal (Age of Conan, The Secret World); recently, [[Graham McNeill]] and [[Anthony Reynolds]] (known for writing the [[Ultramarines]] and [[Word Bearers]] series, respectively) were confirmed to be working alongside them as well. Clearly that didn't help since the game is on the fast road to dying right now.		Now many of you think that this is such wonderful news, right? Well...

	When the devs first got the license for this game, they wanted nothing less than to shoot for the moon. An open world the scope and complexity of Planetside 2 with no fewer than four factions, player-driven campaigns, giant fortress climax battles, and everything from Ork nob squads tearing at Wraithguard to a Chaplain rallying the last desperate charge against a fortified Chaos stronghold, with enough different weapons and customization options to always have the player come back for more .

	Now naturally you can't just build a game like that in one or two years. Seeing how insurmountable an MMO of this kind of proportions would be to create from scratch, Behaviour decided to scale down the initial size of the game, and then scale ''that'' down for Open Alpha. To make sure the engine, weapons, vehicles, graphics, maps, etc. all worked. Updates continued to pour in, and all the races were added.

	As of July 2017, devs have admitted through Twitch they have absolutely no resources and staff to add new content. This means that any plans to expand the setting and polish the game mechanics have been scrapped and their last hope is to collect as much money as they can from its current rotting state. Players have been completely abandoned and have been left with a mediocre arena shooter with a 40k skin. Yet another trailblazing failure in the infamous pantheon of 40k gaming. ''(So basically the Imperium. A sort of delicious irony.)'' Emperor helps us all.		As of July 2017, devs have admitted through Twitch they have absolutely no resources and staff to add new content.

	Officially, the game was "launched" in September 2016. This is despite the game being ''completely unfinished'', looking identical to the Early Access mode the game was in when Orks were in alpha mode. For all intents and purposes, the game is basically an early Beta state - All announced factions are in, and the games are played as instanced arcade-esque shooters not unlike [[Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine\|Space Marine's multiplayer.]] The long-term plan was to gradually open up the world, making larger regions, until the continent of EC is one region in it's entirety, somewhat like Planetside 2, as was originally the plan. An invading army would had need to capture at least 2 of a region's outposts before they can attack the primary base of that region, allowing for large-scale strategic planning. The latest "launch candidate" currently has a primitive world map with matches being set on each faction's borders. There's also Tyranids which you can fight in 5-man kill teams to achieve absolutely nothing except bragging right and Steam Achievements.		Officially, the game was "launched" in September 2016.

	While this has lead to much outcry from the Founders and the fanbase in general, many do now see the benefit of improving the core gameplay to be a fun shooter, before making a massive world with barely nothing in it and with poor gameplay. Furthermore, through the weekly Twitch shows and an active cooperation with fans on the forum, combined with a positive reaction to the current Alpha build, the initial outrage over this controversial move died down a bit.
