Hello im here to argue about mumble vs discord in the albion online thread and my reasons are walls of text about skills average joe does not possess like certificate spoofing and desire to gently caress a 250 man internet guild. Thanks for reading

If you can be on day 1(july 17th) and want to ensure maximum guild success(which means max pubbie tears) then get the $100 pack. You also get 3 months of premium, and like $75 worth of gold so it really is the best option if you can afford it and plan on playing the game for more than a week(which you should if you like making GBS threads on people in unfair scenarios).

Forgot I was an epic founder for this game. And apparently I recruited 5 others who purchased the game. Guess I have no choice but to at least give it a fair shot at launch. It looks like their have been some good changes overall.

You either like to kill people and take their stuff or you don't. The combat isn't the best but the players in this game are all super insecure because they think pressing 3 buttons in a game originally designed to be tablet friendly makes them MLG Dota superstars. They get really butthurt when they die and lose stuff or especially when they lose GvGs and territory. Also funny stuff has happened like this: https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/27824-BEST-TIPS-Looting-Auction-House-in-Cities-during-GvG-it-s-FREE/?pageNo=1

Tip that was at least true in all the alphas and betas I played: When the game first launches a bunch of idiots want to convert their gold to silver. If you can, go straight to farming mobs that drop silver and buy gold as soon as you pick it up to get the lowest price at the time. The price of gold shoots up pretty quickly and it becomes not worth your time within the first day, but you can buy a shitload of gold for 7-20 silver a piece in the first few hours and in a few days/weeks it will be worth 100-200+ silver a piece.

Can someone explain what changed about this game to make it suddenly enticing? I watched the video but idgi. I haven't played this, and while I like the idea behind the game it seemed really amateurish so I was yucking it up in the old thread. Are there concrete things that have changed to make it genuinely a game that should be looked at? Or is this just the standard Release Retardation Syndrome that makes people buy bad games for no other reason than they are releasing?

Having only played the version of the game that came out in late June, I can say that the game is not bad at all, especially if youre into UO/darkfall/EVE type games where you can kill people with unfair odds, take their poo poo, and drink their tears. If this sounds fun to you -- Albion is one of the few games out there that lets you do this. Bonus points for liking league of legends/MOBA style comabt as that is 90% of what the PVP is. If you already spent the $100, you may as well login in day 1 and play -- or give us your gold in exchange for archersnon sound clips fadam posted:I assume the Goons who are taking part in the land rush are going to be grabbing land to use for guild workbenches etc. right? Goons who are able to play day 1, get guilded up, and join us on the day 1 rush for land will be forever memorialized as the pioneers of our empire in Albion. Special shout out also goes out to all the goons who explored in beta and Lewis and Clark'd it up so they could learn the game to prepare for the great rush.
