Hey guys,

While waiting for updates of Kenshi, i've been looking for other games to play.
Have you guys ever play Albion Online ?

Albion Online is an open world medieval sandbox MMORPG inspired by old school MMORPGs like Ultima Online and Mortal Online with full loot PvP, in-depth crafting, and player housing.

Everything in Albion Online must be crafted by other players and PvP is open world. Graphically speaking, the game actually looks a lot like Runescape, except with much more polished visuals. Those looking for a unique player driven MMO should find a lot to like in Albion Online.

Albion Online Key Features:
+ Classless progression - No rigid class system. Equipment determines your role and players are encouraged to experiment. In the game's own words, "You are what you wear".

+ Player driven economy - Gather resources and craft items. ALL items and buildings are crafted by players. Players can even create their own farms!

+ Full Loot MMORPG - Death is kind of a big deal in Albion Online and it means players can have all their items looted upon death.

+ Player built cities - Build your very own house and decorate it however you like. Players can also create their own cities and villages as well as battle other guilds over in-game territory.

+ True cross-platform support - One massive server for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android clients.

long as you don't make real money off it. then you should be good.

i can't let spammers do it, i can't let our regs do it either
so just making sure for both our sakes.

Its ok, some of their business practices seem a little questionable but certainly not damning, not yet anyway. I really love sandbox MMOs, there are very few of them out there but its the genre im most interested in. This one is good in that it has a solid foundation and is polished enough to call it a finished game, but lacks depth and there's not a whole lot of sand to play with in the sandbox, if you catch my drift.

it is still in its beta, so i guess there's still potential for future updates.
however, im quite enjoying the game as of now.

their business practice as in founder pack or gold ?
in the game, you can exchange the gold for silver and vice versa.
and you can buy premium with silver too.

some people think that the game is pay to win, but i dont think like that. because you can loot other players in PvP, so if you joined a guild with lots of players, you can easily beat anyone in PvP.
although for me, i dont like to join a guild with too many players. the game allow you to form an alliance of guilds, so it's good enough ~

you also need to progress your character, say you buy gold, then exchange it for silver, then you buy equipments, but if your weapon/armor proficiency is low, you wont be able to equip it.
im playing casually now, not too serious, but i already have almost 200k silver, and my friend have 1mil silver just from crafting/trading.

i joined a guild, help escorting caravans from bandits (pk players) and when we killed the bandits we looted them naked ! :D
being a crafter/trader is really profitable, but i enjoy the fighting more than crafting/trading, so some of the guild members who are crafters produce the armors for us, and in turn we help them escorting the caravans.

i heard there'll be race features in the future. im not sure if it's gonna be faction vs faction, or traits, or just cosmetic. but i cant wait to try playing as dwarfen archer ! :lol:
