Albion Online Goes Free To Play

11/04/2019

Hi Twigsters,
Sandbox Interactive today announce the MMO Albion Online goes free to play. After the initial launch in 2015, veterans and the new generation of players will be able to enjoy all of the numerous updates made. Albion's devs describe it as a "hardcore" experience with a player-driven economy, player-led guilds, and plenty of PvP.

F2P doesn't mean that development stops either. Sandbox Interactive has big plans for large updates throughout 2019, so it's a great time to dive into the innovative game world.

In a Q&A for the free to play launch, the dev outlines how the game will be divided between paying players and free to play players.

"Albion Online’s business model has always been based on two pillars: Premium status, which can be bought with either real money or in-game currency, and a vanity-only in-game shop. This business model will not change when the game goes free-to-play. The only difference is that you will no longer need to purchase the game in order to play."

Today's update also brings a number of fixes and improvements to Albion Online, most notably anchored by the big changes to the Outland portal system, with each of the Royal Cities receiving its own portal to the Outland. There are other improvements to the respawn system, island updates and much more.

Fortunately "free accounts will have no game-play restrictions and can take part in all aspects of the game."
For founders pack purchasers, Sandbox will be awarding a Specter Wolf mount, 1000 cold, three days of Premium status and an in-game ring.
What Does F2P mean?
From today forward, players will no longer have to purchase the game but can play through without any restrictions. This means that all of Albion Online's celebrated features are available to everyone.
