So its some kind of a medieval-fantasy themed top-down MMORPG and the best part is total freedom. You dont have to stick with a job and stuff like that so instead of being a boring Mage/Thief/Warrior for the rest of you lives you can be a Magic throwing super stealthy swordsman warrior with twin turbos and triple chimney swiss knife.

Then we have territorial warfare (fck yea!). Build your own village/town/cities and then Conquer other players and their villages/town/cities as you throw your heartiest laugh!

And then. CROSS PLATFORM!

Helllll yes. You can play this game on Windows, Linux, OSX, Android, iOS. Important meetings are no longer a reason not to join clan wars!

Now, get your eyes ready for some media!

If I caught your interest, you can sign up for the alpha at: http://albiononline.com

more like le old shadowbane.

i really like game play like this .. freedom skill.. can build own place .. n war ... only graphic like cartoon

waiting for key....

tat art style, im too old to handle :/

the problem with freedom skill is at the end everybody will be running with the same build.

anyone got a key? I didnt get. want it so bad

interesting.........

Damn, I'm too late for the Alpha!

open beta when?

Just found out about this game. Looking good.

Hope it can deliver in 2014.

Albion will enter close beta at 23 Nov

Game seems interesting. Any idea what is the latency to the game server?

Hi , anyone still into this ? Looks interesting

i started playing yesterday.. previously i did join the summer beta but played on-off around 2 months only

the ping is killing me in this game.. averaging around 280ms with occasional spike to 600ms..

Wow that was bad , 600 is unplayable , beside that , how was the game ? Grindy? The concept is good but still need to ask those who played it .

once the ping exceeded 500ms, the game is unplayable as you kept on getting the roll-backs etc... but this doesn't always happen. maybe once every 20 minutes, perhaps? you can pretty much enjoy the game even at 280ms.

based on what i experienced so far, i can say that the game would require some sort of grind to advance yourself and you seriously need to play with somebody to get the most out of it. there is no actual character level in this game. instead, you are measured by how far is your progress on the Destiny Board. every action you did in the game (except walking) will award you with related 'fame' points attributed to the action and then this value will determine your progress on the destiny board. Tier 1 to Tier 3 is easily achievable in one day... Starting Tier 4, it depend much on quite a lot of thing and would definitely require a lot of time to reach the 'ultimate' build..


one major feature of this game is the player driven economy. unlike common MMO, you get in-game money by selling items to NPCs. in this game, money only come from quest, drops from humanoid enemy and by dismantling some stuff. commonly, serious money can only be obtained from harvesting and crafting. there is quite a lot of stuff to be done in the game. dunno how to explain everything haha

Here is a bit more info about the game (in my own words) and based on what i understand so far for those that have interest on the game.. Pardon my rojak English ya!

1. The kind of equipment you wear will determine what skill is available to you. 3 major branch of equipment are Plate (high defense, HP recovery and carry weight), leather (high movement speed and reduced CC effect to wearer) and cloth (amplifies damage, low defense). Going further on the Destiny Board will cause these 3 main branch to branch out to 3 sub-categories each. No limitation on what you can / cannot wear as the game have no fixed class system. You can be a mage while wearing plate armor. And you can also mix and match everything to your liking.

2. Same goes to weapon. 3 main categories which are Sword (branch out to axe, polearms, greatsword, glaive, dual sords and warbow), Bow (branch out to claws, dual daggers, longbow, crossbow, etc) and Staff/Scepters (branch out to fire staffs, frost staff, arcanist, holy staff aka healers, warlock, etc.).. Things that I mentioned here is quite far on the Destiny Board and would require quite some time to be achieved.

3. For crafters, you usually start as a gatherer and then advance through the Destiny Board concurrently between crafter and gatherer. For crafting, main things to be crafted are Weapons, Armors, Accessories (bags and capes) and Furniture. For gatherer, you can be loggers, skinner/tanner, weaver and miner.

4. There is premium status that can be bought by using real money or in-game currency. Around mid-game, this can be obtained with casual 3 - 4 days of farming. I think being a premium player have a lot of advantage especially for gatherer and crafter.

5. The world is SUPER big and the region in the world map can be identified based on several colors. The region color will determine the PVP-wise of the area. Most dangerous is definitely RED (PVP-free area, item remain on your inventory after death) and BLACK zones (PVP-free, item lost once you are dead). At start of the game, only a handful of these lands are claimed by factions. Guild can contest for control over these lands and randomly occurring guild wars is to be expected.

Some cons of this game:
1) PING... Average ping that I got is around 280ms. During summer beta, I played the game using wtfast and the best I ever got is 200 - 220ms. Now, you can no longer use vpn service to access the game

2) No teleportation available. You need to walk / ride horse / ride ox to travel around. At start of the game, you might spend around 50% of your gaming time to walk around! Horses and Ox can only be obtained at Tier 3 ~ 5 - 6 hours playing time.

3) You definitely need to join a guild to advance past Tier 3/4. Why? Starting Tier 3, you need gold to refine your material for crafting purpose and the amount of gold depend on the facility that you are going to use. Players can buy a shop in this game and set their desired service fee for others to use it. If you have guild, most of the time using the guild facility is free.


keep on asking and i try to provide answers..

Wow , you just explained most of my question mark.
I'm still considering to join the beta or not . I think this game suits me . Are there many servers or just 1 server with a huge map ?
Btw thanks for all the info given . It helps .

erm, joining the beta surely can provide you with better picture of how the game mechanic works. the beta will last around 4 months. if not mistaken until end of november. and then there will be a wipe prior official launch. the game had changed so much since the first time i played this game and its good to have game developer who takes into consideration on the player's opinion.

there is no server for this game. everybody played on the same server. even those who played this from their phone. yup, you can play this on your android and ios. the physical location of the server if not mistaken is eastern US.

i play on alpa and purchase founder pack.. game really nice but u need grindy really much and this game not suitable for solo player and game PK mode. and when u die what u wearing will drop. i stop playing and request refund cos of lagging and eq drop.

now this game B2P not F2P as per they say when in kickstarter

also forget to mention this game multi platform game, can play using tablet, pc or smartphone.

p/s if this game got bot for grindy maybe i will play again.

yup.. PVP at black region sure is hellish. drop everything once dead.. but there is quite a lot of player visiting such places for the thrill haha

Anyone plying this ?

i still logged into the game occasionally. you just started playing?

got the game during alpha. but playing alone damn boring. guild better.
maybe wait for open beta. this final beta going to wipe

Sorry for bumping this post but is the game worth it?

so i went to check this game after seeing your post.

after some research i have bought the game over the weekend lol.

its very different with any MMO currently available, early game is very unique and refreshing. so far i am having a blast and learning the game.

cons are the graphics are very potato and the latency a bit high (270ish) though.

270 is okay i guess. Does it affect your farming? Like, do you feel the delay when clicking?

about <0.5 sec of delay, u can feel it definitely. but then now i can totally adept to it already, pve and pvp also not much ping problem.

game is B2P?
where to buy? how much it is?
worth it?

i noticed there is Premium status. So besides buying it, i need to sub it for more benefits?

yeah there are premium status, but u can buy it with in game gold (silver actually, gold is real money currency). without premium status u'll be losing a lot in term of experience gain, farming material etc.

even if u buy the cheapest supporter pack (usd30) u'll have 1 month premium, and 2k gold (which is about 3 weeks of premium status), with that u can earn enough silver to continue your premium subs.

worth or not is very subjective. well this game is very refreshing, sandbox concept.

any idea how much gold for the premium status?

2.5k gold or 672k silver = 30 days
10k gold or 2.7m silver = 180 days
19k gold or 5.1m silver = 360 days

well i play quite casual for 2 weeks and spend a lot on equipment (experimenting builds) and now have about 200k silver.

do u guys pay this game? or invited to play?

Guess not my cup of tea , would have tried it but premium stats is not a good thing , expensive

Anyone still playing this? Official release coming soon.

How is the review for this game? The graphic and classless concept looks tempting for me.

Anyone playing can share their view?

EvE with swords?

Yes. You could say that. I've been waiting for something like Ultima Online. This is similar in some ways. I'm trying this out now.

Anyone else playing?

Albion Online will go free to play on 10 april. anyone playing ?

aready add to wishlist.will start play tomolo....1st time player here😄

still playing? maybe can play together . quite hard for solo leveling in this kind of game

i lost interest after few hours liao.😅

i just started playing.. not bad.. like runescape.

so.. no one is playing anymore?

ive play but once inside idk what to do.... blurred... quest only can be do once a day... lel what a mmorpg

haha.. i keep grinding only.. after buy an transport ox, can go carry a lot of weight, make grinding easier.
that quest is near to non existance, but the learning point is useful as grinding gets harder.
i think the fun start when reaching red or black zone.

i played for a week, now can start craft few tier 4 items

Gameplay from last Friday.

new player, nice..

I heard this game doesn't have SEA server, how is the ping and is it playable?

When pvp is involved i believe 200ping+ cant really be good.

Can share any thought?

it is playable using my home godly 2mbps streamyx line. XD
not really a good game for solo player, runescape will be a better option if this is the case.
quite easy to level if guild or friend is helping.
anyway, i would it is interesting game if you can find a good guild to join.

Asia server coming soon.
Hows the game?

Sg server is coming mid or march, anyone plan to play on the fresh server? I've been playing for a few months in the us server but couldn't pvp at all with 250+ ping. Excited for the new sub 50ms ping in sg server.

i gib it a try when sg server up
its under steam right?

Yes the game is on steam. But its better to download the standalone client on the website. Steam client have some compatibility issue when cross platform, like when trying to play on mobile using same account as the account on steam client
