    PvP & Full Loot
    One of the first games to combine PvP, Player-Driven-Economy and full loot in a Free-to-play game.
    Death is meaningful if you can lose everything.
    “Free to Play”, but NOT “Pay to Win”
    We (the company) are not selling items to the players. We are only acting like a central bank, exchanging currencies.
    Items and resources can only be bought from other players.
    You can acquire every item (realistically) and every premium service without ever paying with real money.

    Unique character customization
    There are no classes in Albion Online. You class is determined by the items you are wearing!
    You can combine any item with each other. There are no boundaries!
    Want to become the Mage Knight in Cloth Armor wielding Sword & Shield? In Albion Online this is possible!

    Cross platform & one massive world (iOS, Android, Windows 7, Mac, Linux, Windows 8)
    Every player in Albion Online plays on one master server. There is only one huge game world.
    Sitting in a café, playing on your tablet? You play in the same world like your friend, who plays at home from his PC!

    Territory control system
    Our core gameplay involves conquering territories.
    Conquering and holding territories has many advantages:
    … to have access to resources and territories to build your own village.
    … and to be protected from the dangers of the wild and the demons of the void.

    Looks pretty neat, will be trying it out.

    Edit: Or rather, signing up for beta.

    Edit 2: Ok, I'm a facebook noob. How does one "join" them on facebook? Just like their page?

    Is this related to Fable? Since Albion is the world in Fable.

    This sounds VERY interesting for someone who is a sandbox fan. Most of the "full" sandbox games like these lack in the combat department though, so I hope they make that good as well.

    No. Lionhead doesn't make it, so it can't be.

    Only plays Magic DPS Classes, Healers and Machinist/Engineers.

    The name Albion was around long before Lionhead and their game "Fable", it's not like they are the only ones allowed to use the name. Here's some info on Albion:

    Hi,

    I am one of the guys working on Albion Online and wanted to thank you for the nice comments.

    Just like our FB page or follow us on twitter. We will raffle beta keys amongst all followers.
    However currently we are still in Alpha stage so will take a while until we start the Beta.

    FYI: Albion is the oldest known name of the island of Great Britain. Today, it is still sometimes used poetically to refer to the island and Albion Online will of course play on the "real" island of Albion (Great Britain). Timewise the game is more medieval then high fantasy and therefore we thought Albion is the fitting name, since it was used during the old king Arthur novels.

    And no Lionhead has nothing to do with our project We are a small independent developer team.

    Kind regards,
    Bercilak
