Lost Ark is now up and running, and aside from a few server issues at launch (and let’s be honest, how many MMOs manage to avoid these problems?), the game’s proving very popular, with players becoming enchanted by its world and the experience that it provides.

With the game only launching a few months ago, Lost Ark is still in its early days for the West and if you want to be a part of this new MMO, check out our Lost Ark beginners guide. If you’ve not yet signed up we’ve got this overview of each of the Lost Ark Starter Packs for you.

There are three different Starter Packs, with each giving you a chance to start out strong in the game. They each contain a nifty selection of in-game items that can help to make your first steps into the world of Akesia a little easier and more enjoyable.
