Does this all still apply? I need a new goon MMO.

It still applies. I shilled this game like crazy before they destroyed it, so it's not like I'm going in with rose colored glasses. Dodgin (FireWhizzle) is the same way.

If you want to spend your money, feel free, you WILL get bored in a few weeks, and the goon guild (what's left of the population) will simply evaporate not long before or after that. Everything I said is true -- some people just can't accept Albion for the garbagedick poo poo it is. :toot:

So to answer your question: Albion is neither an MMO, nor for goons. Hope that helps.

The point of the rep system and rep lands is to give a area where peons don't get ground into dust by tryhards. The system that is currently working FOR us... because none of us can try hard. I would imagine the more people that can be carebears in the wonderland helps player retention.

Compared to last beta where you got to T4 and logged out forever, now you keep playing because you don't have to worry about your toe getting chopped the gently caress off because you stick it in a yellow/red zone.

Forges rep is so high that bandits are blinded and then turned into dust from the sheer force of the rep hit they would take from simply pondering attacking him.


The rest of us get to Benny Hill it across the wasteland. Pockets filled to overflowing with exotic woods and stone.


Edit: No seriously. I saw him in town once. His rep icon was some Vatican relic. Like a cross made out of solid gold and encrusted with gems.

To be fair I could try hard, I just wont. I'm honestly impressed by this beta compared to past attempts not going to lie. Black towns are clutch, rep is clutch because lol why dont you live in a black zone bitch, grind is like baby dick.

I was asked to make this horrible post.. so I did.

Going red in albion means you are going to click the shield and drop all your rep and become hostile.

Understanding how rep works


When you are positive rep you can enter any area in the game. When you are negative rep you can still enter every area except cities. As denoted in the picture above. You lose access to all green and yellow cities when you are -250. You lose access to all red cities when you are -5,000. Thus you are banished to black areas. The docks in the royal islands are considered black and there will be a marketplace added there very soon. This will allow you to still get gear and get equipped in those areas.

I think we killed about 15 people while I was on last night and my rep at the lowest point was -110. The reason here is that if you kill other red players you actually get positive reputation. So you can work off the negative rep killing other reds. When you are -1 or lower rep you no longer get +rep for gathering or killing mobs. Not that you would want it because as soon as you flag you drop to -1 and suspicious.

Daily reputation recovery while "Suspicious" 300
Daily reputation recovery while "Infamous" 300
Daily reputation recovery while "Villainous"600
Daily reputation recovery while "Nefarious" 900
Daily reputation recovery while "Dreaded" 1200


The above are the daily passive rep you gain automatically to help work off bad rep. So if you are villainous you gain +600 rep a day until you are infamous. The system is now set up this way so that if you get "bad" rep you won't be exiled to black for more a week like previously. So at most

Flagging for PvP will reduce your reputation to -1 (Suspicious)

As discussed above as soon as you flag up you go to -1. You gain one rep every five minutes. This means if you flag up you are flagged for 5 minutes because it will take you at least 5 minutes to get 1 rep point to put you back at 0, at which point you can unflag as a hostile. You can kill a red if you can't wait five minutes.

You can no longer unflag for PvP while Suspicious

The biggest change is that you will show flagged in green zones but cannot attack other players.

Flag up and come kill tons of idiots with us on the Royal Islands. It's now a sea of blue because of the rep system.
