Looks okayish but this game is basically initial purchase price + (optional?) subscription + cash shop where you can buy ingame currency... sounds a bit too much for my taste

Yeah. Though you really only need to buy the initial game. I mean, money is pretty easy to make in this game. If you are really lazy you could buy ingame currency but it isn't going to give people a huge leg up. They can only use gear up to what they have leveled up to get and if they have leveled up their skills enough to wear the gear they should have been able to afford it anyway. It isn't too difficult to gear up, at least up to tier5, I don't know anything past that, because you will be likely be losing your gear quite regularly. If you aren't losing your gear regularly it means you are winning the fights and taking everyone else's gear. But buying ingame currency always saves some time I guess.

This seems to be the trend with games nowadays.. I am just happy there is no monthly fee.

about leveling, is there skill loss on death? if not what happens when everyone reaches max level? I should probably read up on it....

No skill loss, just durability loss or gear loss. When everyone reaches max level it will be full out pvp war for territories I'd imagine. If you are afraid of everyone being able to do anything I think it would take years to max out every skill tree. Everyone still needs to specialize to some degree. If everyone maxed out every skill tree the economy would probably die since everyone could make all their own gear and resources. Doubt that will ever happen though.

been interested in this for years now, but Im still going to wait until release I think. even though it wont be f2p now it hopefully will be cheaper than current box price, plus hopefully more complete too.

the low tech moba focus has made me less interested than I might have been if it had proper combat, but Im moving to sweden 2 years without my desktop so that side of it actually appeals alot more now. however I hope it isn't too good/addictive!!

even though its a hardcore sandbox mmo i;ve been waiting for I now hope it caters to filfy casuals/ solo players too. its hard to imagine I used to play mmos like darkfall 14 hour/day

Ah yeah, not sure if you will be able to do much pvp on a tablet really. I am doubtful how it will handle large amounts of players/the speed you need to do things for pvp competitively. Crafting and PvE should be fine though. We'll have to see how it handles.

I'm a bit of a casual now too and it seems to cater fine as long as you make enough money ingame (or real life money) to keep your premium up as it generates Learning Points passively so you can keep leveling.

Alright guys, the final beta for the game is up and will last 2-3 months. I have been playing this and it is pretty fun, I can answer questions if you guys have any.

If you do decide to buy it, and I am not going to try to talk you into it, please use my referral link: https://albiononline.com/?ref=L7UT3GV5YP (Just use the link and then register an account)

The game will be B2P on release, with optional premium that honestly isn't that hard to buy with the in-game currency.

It is a fun little grind-heavy medieval game. The combat feels similar to a MoBA with skill shots and the like, especially on higher levels. You also only have about 5 combat abilities, Q,W,E,R,D, which are from your weapons and armor.

There is full loot on death but only in some zone types. There are 4 zone types:

Green zones: Safe zones
Yellow zones: You have to flag yourself as hostile, players are able to see how many hostiles are in a zone, and a percentage of a player's durability gets converted to money and drops for you
Red zones: Full loot but you have to flag yourself to attack people and it says the number of players in the zone
Black zones: You get no info and is full loot and full pvp.

Pretty much all the higher level zones are red or black zones, you can also only get the higher tier crafting materials in these pvp zones.

All of the towns have local auction houses and banks. There is fast travel between major towns for a fee, however the fee scales based off the value of the items in your inventory making it impractical to fast travel with resources, forcing players to cross pvp zones if they wish to access other markets.

The game is often called a Medieval EVE online, so if you like EVE you will likely like Albion. If you aren't into grind heavy, more long-term goal games Albion won't be for you. I personally enjoy some boring Farmville type stuff so I have mainly been doing that in Albion as you can buy an island and plant a bunch of crops there, sorta like ArcheAge. (Though the Islands are their own instance you fast travel to, you can only fast travel to them from the town in which you bought the island)

The game has two main focuses and that is crafting and PvP. While it is possible to go it solo you are going to have the most fun in this game by joining up with a big guild and do some guild vs guild combat and fight over territories.

If you are already playing add me in game, my name is Soso.

Here's the best way to settle it imo. Schoi vs the best Remnerd ft7 NA1 tomorrow at 7:30pm PST. Schoi wins you guys get banned and ripperoni'd in cheese if you win Schoi cries and no ban.

And it needs to be a dagger duel.

In my opinion the dagger dueling and brocoding shouldn't have been allowed because of this rule, I don't mind a few rounds like this but 3 maps in a row is annoying so I made a thread.

No one cares about your angry, biased opinion.

Mae, I'll send you a message, but first, let me make something clear to you.

This is a video game.
This video game has no consequence on my life.
It's fun and I like to help people if I can.

I don't give a flying fuck about drama.
I don't give a flying fuck about Strat or Strat alliances.
I don't give a flying fuck about which cRPG clan said what about another cRPG clan.
This is a video game.

I'm an admin because I am unbiased.
I'm happy to acknowledge and consider both sides.
I pride myself on that.
However, if a bunch of people are complaining about something, I'm obligated to respond to that.
You can say it's not delaying, they can say it is delaying.
It's literally my place to make that decision, so, naturally, some people are going to be unhappy, and others, happy.
You just have a very difficult time accepting the fact that my Internet authority is not yours.

For Christ's sake, it's a video game.

You seem pretty biased. I'd tone that pride down a few notches.

Punching is one thing, daggers are different.

Daggers at the end of the round are still just as legal and not delaying.

I'm not sure but it seems like this Schoi guy might have some anger issues.

What happened to having fun in this game? Fucking around and fighting enemy players with daggers shouldn't be bannable.
