    For anyone who is looking for an old school MMO Albion Online is a perfect fit.

    There's nothing quite like Albion Online in the modern climate of MMOs, and frankly, it's a breath of fresh sandbox air.

    Albion Online remains very motivating despite the large grind, thanks to the many and freely selectable options for character development.

    Overall, every player’s experience will differ based on how you choose to play the game, but Albion Online has provided a quality sandbox game with a strong initial build to work with.

    Game is still buggy even after years of beta. There is not much content for small groups of friends. End game maps are dominated by largeGame is still buggy even after years of beta. There is not much content for small groups of friends. End game maps are dominated by large guilds. Lack of PvE content as well (Though it is a PvP game). Devs keep restarting the server but keeps losing hours of save data. One day had over 5 restarts and rollbacks. They also by default allow any guild member to take your items on your farm. Prior to joining a new guild, I changed the default setting so only I had access to my island but a rollback reverted this change without me knowing. When I joined the new guild, someone came and stole all my horses which were very expensive. Devs won't even tell me who did it. Losing time and resources because of server issues is so frustrating. Devs have been very slow in dealing with exploits. In 2 weeks there has been at least 4 exploits and none of it fixed though in their fairness they did say they'll ban anyone doing 2 of the exploits but it is still possible to do them.

    On top of that, their support is abysmal. If you lose resources due to any exploits abused by other players, they will tell you tough luck they don't want to do anything to affect the economy even though the situation originated from their lack of insight. If you lose resources due to server issues, they will tell you tough luck we don't have the logs to verify what you lost. This includes losing premium currency! Anyone who had converted premium currency to silver prior to a forced server reset/rollback will lose both the premium currency and silver when they log back on. You would assume any good support will restore either the silver or premium currency but they won't. They'll say they don't have the logs. What!?! I can understand if you don't have the logs if someone lost what they gathered but for PREMIUM CURRENCY? I'm just glad I only lost $5 of premium currency...others have lost over $50. Game concept while cool has been executed poorly. Overall experience has not been great with Albion Online.    … Full Review »

    Nearly unplayable due to lag and sudden server shutdowns/crashes.

    Minor offenses receive instant 200 year bans (not joking), even if you    Nearly unplayable due to lag and sudden server shutdowns/crashes.

    Minor offenses receive instant 200 year bans (not joking), even if you can prove you did not commit an offense.

    The game is horribly optimized and runs poorly locally despite utilizing a minimalist art style.

    If you enjoy frustration, don't value your time, and have an excess of money, then this game is for you.    … Full Review »
