Albion Online is a popular game from the MMORPG genre that’s been with us for quite a while. Released back in 2017, it was based on a buy-to-play model where you had to buy one of the starter packs which helped you get started. As of March, 2021 the game has gone Free-To-Play.
In the world of Albion, there are no definite classes. The equipment one chooses to wear defines their abilities and the way they can play. Weild a mace/hammer with a heavy plate armor, you are a tank now.Switch those out with a dagger pair and cloth armor set and you have one of the highest burst dps build ready to deal huge damage.
The variety of weapons in Albion is exceptionally surprising, alongwith the available choices of armor/head-wear/foot-wear. Only in melee, there are Swords, Axes, Maces, Hammers, Daggers, Spears, Quarterstaves(like the one the monke-king uses)etc. And that’s not the end, there are approximately 6-7 types of each weapon category mentioned above. Skills solely depends on equipment worn.
Also, almost every item in this game is player-crafted. Yes, almost every item. And there is an auction-house system which is based on player-driven economy, popularly known here as ‘The Market’.
This game is a highly versatile MMO, if not the most. Why you ask?
Lets suppose you are a bloodthirsty Player KIller who likes to have some good fights, Albion is perfect for you. Map is divided into safe and full-loot zones, in the latter once you kill someone they will lose all their items, dropping some for filling your banks. You can also join a big guild and participate in Zerg-vs-Zergs where swarm of players fight for dominance and resources.
Lets say you do not like PvP, dont worry, you got two options left still. You can do Dungeons, solo or group, slay monsters and bosses with great coordination and teamwork and have fun.
Or, if you don’t like Player-vs_Environment either and like to farm and gather stuff in an open-world environment, Don’t worry, they got your back. A big portion of the player population focuses on Gathering and Crafting professions, earning lots of silvers.
Also, there is something called “premium” which costs around $11.95(878.24 Indian Rupee) and it is a great perk to have.The loot in dungeons get doubled, crafting material required amount halves, gathered material doubles, boosting your economy.Also there are good rewards at the end of the month alongwith a avatar frame and a cool mount. But wait, there is another story.
You can get premium for Free. YES, you read it right. Game offers another option. You have to do one of the three above(or all three) and earn a certain amount of silver(currently 8.8 million as of March, 2021) and boom you can get 30 days of premium for free! with certain help of guides and silver-making methods, most dedicated newbies make that amount in a week or so, with the help of a 3 day premium as a head-start. And once you get that premium, maintaining it monthly becomes easy.
