Hey everyone,

Today, I learned that my account, into which I've invested countless hours achieving full specs, has been permanently banned.

The reason given was involvement in third-party transactions. I had indeed purchased 60m silver from an external source, so the ban is accurate! This post isn't to contest or lament the ban.

I've been dedicating roughly three hours daily to Albion, which, in hindsight, was a significant chunk of my time and energy. I'm excited to redirect these resources towards side projects and socialising.

Therefore, this marks the end of my journey with Albion Online and, consequently, this subreddit. I wanted to make this final post to say goodbye to the community that has been a part of my daily life for so long. Thank you for the memories and experiences we shared.

I wish everyone the best of luck in life, with the exception of gankers.

Albion Online es un mmorpg no lineal, en el que escribes tu propia historia sin limitarte a seguir un camino prefijado. Explora un amplio mundo abierto con 5 biomas únicos, todo cuánto hagas tendrá su repercusión en el mundo, con la economía orientada al jugador de Albion, los jugadores crean prácticamente todo el equipo a partir de los recursos que consiguen, el equipo que llevas define quién eres, cambia de arma y armadura para pasar de caballero a mago, o juega como una mezcla de ambas clases. Aventúrate en el mundo abierto frente a los habitantes y las criaturas de Albion, inicia expediciones o adéntrate en mazmorras en las que encontrarás enemigos aún más difíciles, enfréntate a otros jugadores en encuentros en el mundo abierto, lucha por los territorios o por ciudades enteras en batallas tácticas, relájate en tu isla privada, donde podrás construir un hogar, cultivar cosechas y criar animales, únete a un gremio, todo es mejor cuando se trabaja en grupo. Adéntrate ya en el mundo de Albion y escribe tu propia historia.

What do you enjoy the most? Do you like playing strong meta builds? Do you enjoy being overgeared and just try to kill everyone who crosses your path? Do you like gathering so you can make a lot of money? Crafting? For me it's experimentimg with very off meta cheap builds and see if they work or not. Usually in Mists or CDs. I love outplaying opponents with those builds (sometimes players that have higher IP then I do). That makes me feel happy. What about YOU?

Are you ready for some big news? Ok, no longer “new news” as some data miners and streamers spoiled the surprise for everyone, but now It’s Official.

YES. Albion is launching a new dedicated Asia server!

Here are the most important things you need to know about this new server:

• It's located in the middle of Asia, so the ping will be the fastest if you're located in this region. However, if you're located in EU, you can also check out the new server and see which one works best for you.

• It's completely independent from the Albion West server. This means it's a fresh start - you can't transfer your characters or items, but you can use your old game account and reserve a character name or the guild name you use on the West server.

• All the timings of game and server events (territory battles, Crystal League, Faction Warfare, maintenance, etc.) will be optimized for the Asian region.

• You can purchase Founder Packs to get access to a Closed Beta and Early Access to the new server when it launches. You can even purchase multiple packs if you want all the rewards. All the rewards are claimable on both servers, but will be available only on one of them (meaning, if you claimed your rewards on the West server, you'll be unable to claim them again on the East server).

• Closed Beta starts on February 20, 2023 and will be available only to the Founder Pack owners. All progress after the beta will be wiped. Top-ranking guilds, along with players who make sufficient progress during the season, can unlock unique rewards that persist even after the beta ends.

• Early access starts on March 15, 2023 and will be available for Crystal and Gold Founders; March 17 - for Silver Founders; March 19 - for Bronze Founders;

• On March 20, 2023: Albion East server opens to all players.

• A Live Q&A with the Game Director Robin Henkys will be held on AlbionTV on January 24 at 19:00 UTC, and you'll be able to ask him all the questions and share your concerns.

• All the additional info, founder packs details, and a button to subscribe to the East Server Updates can be found by the link:

And check out this new Albion East video our team created! The level of epicness is overwhelming. (Our team specifically traveled to Asia to film it, btw)

Please tell me I heard if you die you lose everything is that true

Me and Brother Quit New World and now we are looking new sandbox MMORPG we are not big fan of losing everying on dead but we gona try it if is good also is possible to make very tanky build ?

Also Does Have Any good PVE content or mostly PVP ? I want Have Both

Season 22 started with good ZvZ action on black-zone (bz). The main EU fights were between SNF + SM + HNS + Superior guilds (Side A) vs POE(Alliance) + BOBER (Alliance) + EQMS + Arch(alliance) (Side B). Numbers were heavy on Side B's advantage but Side A had more quality.

Overall it was same clustered zones in the inner circle with fights close to objective timers. Taking advantage of the war a third side appeared Contingent + Ifures (chasing rank1) Contingent had the opportunity to drop its HO's without any contest because of the war happening and than started to push Side A (the only one that gives content). Due to a war happening and Contingent standing between objectives such as HO hammering or Zone capping willing to take "content" in a already flamed up war they got overwhelmed by numbers.

Than Contingent decided to hammer Side A (SNF) HO in DarkbroughSnag which they failed to do so with Ifures. After second attempt they decided to handhold with Side B to achieve their goal. With the numbers Side B have and adding to that two good ZvZ force Side A gave up on the war. Superior disbanded, HNS lost its ZvZ force. New formed Side B (CG + IFures + Bober + POE + EQMS + Arch) won the war and made the inner-circle bz dead silent.

Contingent leadership claims that they held hands only to destroy a HO and they are a content guild seeking for content. So does all other guilds. How ever both Bober and Contingent holding inner-circle 18 UTC zones next to each other without launching each other or even attacking each other on castles. Instead both 130+ massing guilds looking for content in the outer ring where guilds mass usually around 60 people.

31 January at 18 UTC EU war report Bober came to help Stop alliance (130+ people) fighting vs Road Block guild which mass around 70 people. To make a 300 vs 70 fight and kill the content.

Than at 21 UTC Contingent got paid by FAGG alliance (Dutch Legends) that mass 90+ people and having two red allies vs Road Block that massed 70 people. So Contingent massed 130 people to help Fagg alliance vs RB in outer ring. Because Road Blocked dropped a HO and a launch to a zone to create content vs FAGG alliance. But FAGG alliance instead paid silver to CG for helping them destroying RB HO. Than they needed to make friendly fight each other because Road Block didn't take the fight 230 vs 70.

This is not SBI's or developers fault. It is the garbage mentality of gamers that can not stand even a possibility of loosing in a video game.

As actual content seeker players and people that put fun aspect of the game in front of all others. We wish all HH'ers and garbage leaders best of luck.

Hello everyone!

We are Sandbox Interactive, an independent development studio located in Berlin, Germany. For the past five years, our now 50 people strong team has been working on the Sandbox MMORPG Albion Online, which is , from July 17th 2017 onwards. Access to the game is given out in stages, based on the type of game pack bought, details can be found

Here today are Stefan (aka Bercilak), the CEO of Sandbox Interactive, and some of our Game Designers and Community Managers, ready to answer any and all questions you have about our game over the next few hours.

The team behind Albion Online consists of a good mixture of experienced designers and programmers that worked, among others, on major games like EVE Online, Drakensang, and Battleforge. While you are more than welcome to ask about our developers’ involvements in their previous games, we can’t guarantee that we can answer all of the questions - Non Disclosure Agreements and pesky things like this. Also, as not everyone is here today, some questions about previous games can only be answered next week.

Albion Online has been independently developed with the support of more than 250,000 Founders who helped us raise close to $10m in funding and provided invaluable feedback and input during our extensive alpha and beta tests. We drew some of our inspiration from games EVE Online, Ultima Online, Dark Age of Camelot, League of Legends, and Runescape; all games we loved, played - and in some cases still play today).

If you already know what the game is about, feel free to scroll down and ask your questions right away. For all others, please see the following information:

Introduction Video -

Game Summary -

Albion Online is a sandbox MMORPG set in a medieval fantasy world, in which you get to write your own story instead of just following a laid-out path. Explore Albion's vast open world, consisting of five different and unique biomes, and find your path as a fighter, explorer, crafter and more!

Player-driven Economy - [Watch the video] ()

Everything you do has an impact on the world, as in our player-driven economy, almost every piece of equipment is crafted by the players from resources gathered by the players. Take advantage of the local marketplaces in Albion and become a wealthy trader!

Engage other adventurers in small- or large-scale PvP, either in open world clashes or in tactical group battles for territory control.

-Update-

It's now 2 am local time here in Germany and time for us to call it a night.

We had a lot of fun doing this AMA and would like to thank everyone who took part in it. We'll be coming back tomorrow and answer a few more questions.

If you'd like to stay informed about Albion Online, feel free to check out our and , or here on Reddit. Once the game goes live, you can also take a look at the various .

So, after being in the game for ten days, two things seem rampant in this game, one, toxicity, especially the bigger the guild you get into. I am a member of what's supposed to be one of the friendlier new player big guilds, and during a ZvZ the shotcaller repeatedly made racist comments or alluded to racism and of the 30 plus people present, not one person said anything, and being new and not wanting to be left out in the cold, neither did I, but it kept happening, day after day, and I finally said something during a smaller event, my reward, forever after they changed to calling me a slang for penis. And in case you're wondering this guild does have a "no racism in chat" policy, they just don't follow it.

Toxicity? How about inviting new players to a fame farm, only to remove them from group at the end of the farm, kill them, and take all their loot? Yeah, main guild, big guild, top 10ish guild, doing things like that and there's nothing that says they can't. Reputation isn't important because people stab each other in the back so frequently that the only rule is don't trust anyone. I heard they actually took a guild member on a fame farm, kicked him from the group after they flagged up, then kicked him from the guild and PKed him... again, seems to be normal behavior.

So if you want to know why so many people want a PvE option, it's because we don't want to deal with this kind of sociopathology when we're just playing the game. Yes, racism occurs in PvE games too, but not nearly as much. It seems the kind of sociopath attracted to racism is also attracted to free for all loot games. I got this game to play an updated Ultima Online and it only took me about a week to remember why I voted for the Tamriel update on that game, because the few sociopaths that kill naked people on horses, or insist on repeating the "n" word on discord, or repeatedly refer to the people they're playing against using slang for vaginas, are not the kind of people I want to PvP with or Fame Farm with, however those are the kind of people drawn to the hardcore PvP and dominate it just enough that other people not so inclined say nothing. I'm sure a lot of people have already left for some of the reason's I've posted. I'm sure I'll be downvoted or have this post remove, however I think it needs to be called out, because it's prevalent and just not healthy for the game in the long run.

For me, its understanding the game mechanics way better and the economy on a whole while meeting lot of players alongside the way.

Tja! Har vi några som redan spelar albion här? Eller några som inte börjat spela än men som kanske blir nyfikna på att testa?

Har en guild i spelet med ett gott gäng som har riktigt kul tillsammans, och vi tar gärna emot flera spelare. Nya eller erfarna!

Vi har ca 20 spelare som hänger tillsammans varje kväll och gör "lite av allt", och vi håller fortfarande på med uppstarten av allt. Så både PvE, PvP gathering och crafting går åt! 🍻

Fråga gärna om ni undrar något, eller joina discord:

I'll preface this with, I am being serious. Not some bait post or anything like that.

I picked up Albion a few days ago, I've sunk like 10-15 hours in over those few days so, safe to say I am really enjoying it. The reason I ask is, I have seen A LOT of talk in the ingame global chat talking about how Albion is heading more and more down the road of P2W.

Now, I understand that players in the global chat talking about the state of the game is NEVER a particularly reliable representation. However, I know LITERALLY nothing about the late stages of this game (hell I don't even know anything the about mid stages). So, I can't google the past updates or whats planned, since I have no idea what any of that means when I do.

BUT, this game is CLEARLY a large time sink and premium is pretty helpful I have no doubt. I'm cool with paying for premium, I'm cool with the bonuses that gives, I'm cool with straight up being able to BUY silver even. I'm not cool with much else though, so I don't want to continue investing that time and money sink if the game TRULY is heading down a whale filled, P2W road.

So could you guys, the ones who can actually understand late game systems etc, fill me in?
