The time since
ArcheAge's launch has been a cycle of allowing cash shop purchases, discovering exploits with those purchases, and disabling those purchases, usually APEX. There have been a variety of other goofs hither and yon, but the important one right now is APEX. After a long period of being unavailable, it
can be purchased once more, hopefully without a need to disable it again in the future.
APEX, for those of you unaware, is essentially a way to purchase subscription time and sell it in-game, a la
EVE Online's PLEX or
WildStar's CREDD. The exploit issues caused by use of APEX items without actually consuming them have led to the items being
removed from the store on multiple occasions. Hopefully
this reinstatement signals the end of that particular cycle for the game.
