It was a brilliant MMORPG, but their server is like Look into the eyes of a chicken and you will see real stupidity !
 Ngl I like Albion, the concept was unique the combat is balanced, but for features like gameplay? Especially server is not that great.

My Review :
About
Rate
Art/graphic
 
 The graphic is not that gorgeous, it's just nice, I've been playing a lot of MMORPG games, and compared to Albion it's not that great, sure enough, I played Albion before the LANDS AWAKENED update, back then the world is bland now its have more color than before its an improvement but there's still lack of things later I'll explain.
 
Gameplay
 
 The gameplay was not that flashy in this game you are not that "Anime monkey god" who can fly and have so many magical effect skills. This game took more "Semi-realistic" where you can mine resources or kill an animal to get an item, etc., and the second gameplay is PvE and PVP, this game, however, is not recommended for a solo game, PVP is the main goal for Albion so that's it.

 The thing that I like is it's doesn't have a character leveling system in which you can only level skill each weapon that avail that's mean you can be any class without worrying about a class lock.

 Of course, we should talk about the economy where every item is sold and bought from the player in the game you can farming loots to sell them or craft them. also the economy was decent. and that was the main thing I think its brilliant concept problem is if people who want fast in-game money making the fastest way are using your credit card. Like other our society said the rich get richer and if you hate that concept avoid this game.
 
Multiplayer
 
 If you live in SEA, OCE and Russia avoid this game if you don't want a 250 ping gameplay, there's a lot of non-American YouTubers who live in the area who have ping issues, PVP is ♥♥♥♥ if you are alone not in a party even for PvE. Btw the server seem located in wangsinton DC ? which you can meet everyone in one place without switching into another region server, it's good but the cost it the connection.
 
Control
 
 Since I live in SEA I can't say if the control was good its not that responsive with the lag, don't take a risk..
 
Music or Sound
 
Don't have any issue.
 
Playtime
 
You can play Albion up to 50h more.
 
Story
 
 You don't have a story in this game your main goal is just "live" if you want to grind finding a resource or crafting item or even PVP or PvE you call it. If you want a story or a quest from an NPC this game doesn't have any of those.

How many Game Bug
 
  • 200-300 ping in SEA.
  • In faction war sometimes people play without in the party not even ONE, I've been there tried to connect everybody and people just playing alone by themself without thinking about the party bonus.
  • Faction war hard to click to the faction boss because of all those effects and a confusing red indicator that cant tell which is enemy which is allies.
  • Game chat is not moderated by moderators so there are tons of racist people in chat even using N-word and the only way to report is to screenshot and send it through the Albion website which sucks. every time i log in they still present no banned sign by moderators..
 
DLC worth?
 
 Season pass got decreased if you don't log in, the season pass system it's not worth it if you are not jobless or homeless and don't have a social life. that's mean even you buy it you still need to do "Something" to get it and its not an easy task also every season pass reward is depend on the date you can't unlock it instanly so don't buy season pass if you have a job. reason why people buy it usually for buying private island which it's not really that provitable based on the farming item price at the market.
 
My oppinion
 
 Game was good though I'm still playing it since the game is having a good population thanks to the mobile release which so many noobs come by and are easy to attack in the red zone, but if they could fix the server I would change it to recommend.
 
Recommended?
 
Yes. And Big No if you live in SEA.
