I have been looking for this game

I found Albion online off of adds, and somehow ended up downloading it. But it’s the type of game I have been looking for for awhile now. I only recently started playing, but it has the right skill level, where things aren’t too easy right off the bat and you can’t kill anything with one hit (which I’m assuming will change with upgrades), but it’s not necessarily too difficult either, and I haven’t needed to worry about dying, since there isn’t many penalty’s unless your in certain areas. I like that the game doesn’t have any sort of class system, so I don’t need to worry about picking a good class, and if I get bored I can always change my mind later. Because there isn’t any main storyline, I don’t need to worry about blocked off areas or finishing a quest that I find boring and slow. I admit that the market system was a bit confusing at first, but then I realized that the market is just massive, so you need to know what type of thing you are looking for before you search (at least with the public market, shops are easy to navigate.) I highly suggest downloading Albion online if you want a non-restricted rpg experience, where you don’t need to fight if you don’t want to, can work towards any goal with as much content as adventuring has, or are like me, and like the small details like walking slower if you carry too much (which can be helped with fairly easily attainable mounts).

To give a plot line here- I started the game with really no expectations other than disappointment at the 5 hour mark- landed in, got a guild, and the guild mates started taking me around to all of the content that was enjoyable and group focused- even giving me a million silver (multiple times because I lost all my gear in black zones several times). Soon enough within a couple days I was running solo bz content and group content. It really gave me the same adrenaline rush as the old swg and eq1 days when I would die and lose all of my Equipment or I would make out with a bunch of silver. My third day in the game I setup a group to go to a bz, we really were a bunch of noobs going into a t6.1 bz, not knowing really what we are up to. Until, we randomly chose a solo dungeon, and low and behold there was a player inside who got trapped as soon as we entered. We chased him down, not doing too much damage until finally he collapsed. Opening up his body, 5 million plus a rare mount. It was one of the most memorable moments in all of my time playing mmo’s, to be a beginner and find such a bounty and still have to exit the dungeon and find our way through two black zones to get home and split the rewards. I highly recommend downloading Albion and playing the group content and finding your way into bz’s or mist asap. I’m a beginner but I’m hooked.

Albion online choices

I love how there are so many different classes and areas you can go down that are low risk and you can still progress in the game. Of course doing the higher risk higher reward(black zones) is great but you have the chance of losing everything. However you don’t need to do it to progress. On top of that you can play so many different sets and I love how the tier system works allowing you to run the same set just lower tier and slowly upgrade it into 4.1 into rebuying a 6.0 then upgrades to a 6.2 for instance all the way up to 8.4 which in my opinion is great for practicing the set before you play it in black and red zones. You also have hellgates which are so much fun along with corrupted dungeons both can be lethal and non lethal which is a great idea letting the person choose if they are willing risk what they have to maybe get something better or something more. Then you have things like normal dungeons and group dungeons that you both can do with a group solo dungeons being able to solo but can be fun to run with a friend. You also have arena which is another thing that is just great for pvp practice in larger groups without the worry of losing your items as long as you do non lethal.

Awesome game! But not so great community

Really loved how you can be who ever you wanna be and how you get to take part of the market. However, the community is not quite as I thought. Must of the time you’ll see people criticizing your build and guild members making you feel like you’re part of the guild without the companionship/fun part and just make you do stuff. At times you’ll find a lot of hackers where you would normally go to loot. I have around 4 days worth of playing it and this are some of the issues that I and a handful of people had to deal with. Despite all of this, I really loved this RuneScape game style tbh. Though there’s a couple of things that you shouldn’t even try to do because of the bigger guilds and the veterans who started since beta. At the moment, it’s a waste of time to spend time crafting equipment or buying a store because of the cartel that exists in the game and the bigger players trying to run any kind of business out. The way you progress is very satisfying. It follows this ideology that practice makes perfect which really suits it. You will try to specialize on your equipment slowly while you unlock new tiers or rarity of equipment that you can equip. Wouldn’t recommend playing solo. If you’re playing with a handful of people, stick with them and don’t interact with others since there have been cases of people joining groups just to tell the assassin where you are.

One of the best games I've played.

To be honest I really enjoy this game. The playstyle is very easy and entertaining. The game does a lot of good things and can catch just about anyone with everything you can do in the game. Whether it's wanting to pvp, the game has a excellent pvp system but could use more variety. The weapons in my opinion closely balanced. I've used about every type and can still do a build worth doing. If you want to pve, it has hidden dungeons, expeditions, camps and forts to fight. It's very nice and group friendly if you struggle on anything your friends or guild can help. If pvp or pvp aren't your thing there is the gathering/crafting side as well. On top of that there is also building on your personal island or farming/breeding to make money or cooking. The game has multiple aspects which makes this game incredible. But I would agree the game needs to work on the farming times. They are a bit too long to really consider it anything of use. The game does have its ticks but that's every game. You won't find another game that is this will put together. If course it still needs work but that's any game. 5/5 for me would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Great game

My son and I were looking for a game to play together that operated like WOW. We new this would be a trail run for us, and we wanted some time to get into the game, so we started over Christmas break 2023. We did pour a good amount of time into it, and we have seen the returns. We really like this game. We have not found it difficult to make game currency (silver). We have not found it to be difficult to advance. We are not PVP guys. We stay in Tier 5 and down areas. We are settling into a grove. Oh, we did each buy a month of premium. I don’t know if we will continue, but I have no problem supporting a game if it is fun. I have not found the in-apps purchases to be intrusive or even necessary. I will say the 30 learning points you get from premium service is great, but I could see us grinding through without them if we choose to go back free. We are 3 weeks in and we are making about 400k silver per day each doing about an hour of grinding. The only thing I have not liked is not being able to do something quick if I have 15 during my day before I start playing at night. Hard to get into anything without dedicating an hour to it. There might be some things we don’t know about yet, but this is my biggest complaint thus far.

Better than expected! And expected good!

I dont write reviews. But i just felt the need to let people know this game is 10/10 so far. Im new to the game and play it everyday already. I love that the game is alive and well. Its fun, its rewarding and is still being updated. A couple times Ive tried getting into Runescape over the last couple years but just couldn't get invested. Ive been looking at this game for a few years as well, but I'm not sure if it was paid access or what that stopped me. But I played this and was invested immediately. I am using the iPhone XS max. And considering my phone is outside the recommended criteria. Im very impressed that i can run Ultra settings, but with some fps drops in areas. But i lower my settings a little for the stability in high traffic areas and to save my battery. I do crash every now and then after having the app open for awhile. I estimate 3 crashes in 8hrs of gameplay. But it boots back up so fast its no issue. To the Devs: please add touchscreen control support or add the mobile version to the microsoft store or something. I wanted to play this on my Microsoft Surface as well. Also future Nintendo Switch support would be GOLDEN!

8/10

The good: this game is very immersive with being able to do things like crafting and fighting. All items were once crafted by players, even ones dropped by mobs from the black market where players can sell items which goes to the mobs dropsPvP is amazing to play with the black zone where everyone is hostile. PvE is also fun to play with the many, MANY weapons. Premium is free if you have silver to spare (it does cost a lot) however you can pay for it. The bad: the community is horrible, scammers are everywhere. Some common scams are, dueling a player and waging thousands of silver because they may be clicking the middle of their screen, putting taxes on repairing stations to cost more silver then needed, people whom want to join guilds may be asked to go to a red or a black zone to do “tryouts” resulting in them being killed and losing all their stuff, speaking of guilds some go to new players and invite them to their guilds and make it so when they kill a monster the tax makes it so they make no money from it. The graphics are also… bad to say the least. This game can be P2W in buying gold and premium at the start of the game for a huge boost.
