On August 1st, Sandbox Interactive will have the servers of Albion Online go live for the start of the final beta of the sandbox MMORPG. This will give the existing 160.000 founders access to a wealth of big changes and new features, in preparation for the official start of the cross-platform game later this year.
In Albion Online, stories are written by the players and their actions influence the world. They can choose whatever they want to be – be it an adventurer, an industrious gatherer, a reckless outlaw or a masterful crafter. No matter what you want to do, you can and will find your own place in Albion’s vast world.
How your own actions and those of your guild can shape the world is demonstrated in the new trailer for Final Beta. It shows how player involvement and engagement define the stories told in Albion Online and that everybody matters.
Start your own adventure in Final Beta, starting August 1 at 12:00 UTC!
Watch the best trailer ever.

Albion online all around pretty much sucks! The game claims to be a
sandbox type game but yet they force the same people that want to craft
and do gathering into PVP zones in order to be able to gather those materials.
What the clueless developers of Albion Online don’t seem to
understand is that not everyone wants to PVP and some of us are just happy
gathering and crafting.
If it was a true sandbox game then the players should not
be forced into PVP and all materials from tier 1 to tier 8 should
be able to be gathered outside of PVP zones and they should not force
the players into PVP areas if they do not want to go there.
Basically all this game turns into is another giant gank fest
where once you get past tier 4 materials for crafting anyone
that wants to do crafting gets ganked repeatedly over and over
again by teams of gank squads who roam around the zones.
There are 8 different tiers of materials you can get
up to tier 8.
Also the servers seem to be pretty piss poorly run too you
will be running around a zone collecting materials
then boom all of a sudden you are logged out of the game and
you have to log back in again.
There are no connection issues on my side what so ever I
can go do everything else just fine. It is on the server side.
Or I have had a few times where I could not even connect
to their login server to be able to log into the server
again it isn’t my connection it is on the server side
I could surf and do everything else normally except
connect to the game.
The servers are over crowded with 13 year old kids masturbating
every time they kill a crafter and steal their stuff.
The game is also full of bots as well out gathering materials
and you do a /report on the bot and nothing gets
done about it seems the admins of this game don’t give a shit
as long as they get your money.
This is absolutely the worst “Sandbox” game I have ever seen.
I use the term “sandbox” lightly for this game because really it
isn’t because a true sandbox game would not force a person
who wants to craft to go into PVP zones to get materials and
you should be able to just craft all the way up if you wish without
having to do PVP.
Albion online got the whole open world PVP concept totally wrong.
Customer service on this game is rude and uncaring and they
really don’t give a shit.
The game is NOT free either I saw some sites advertising the
this game is free to play it is not you have to buy a
“starter pack” which ranges anywhere from $29.95 USD (Veteran) up
to $99.95 USD (Legendary) and then after that you can purchase a
“premium” to be able to keep other perks in the game and pay a
monthly fee of $9.95 USD a month. This game is in NO way
free to play!
Avoid this game at all costs the player base is toxic and
rude and just full of assholes.
Rating of Albion Online 1/10
