This brand-new server offers a [b]fresh version of Albion[/b] for you to make your mark on, and [b]substantially improved ping[/b] for players in the Europe and MENA regions. Already, players are out there crafting gear, gathering resources, and building up the economy from scratch. A new chapter in Albion’s history begins today! [previewyoutube=xPyw4nZlGNA;full][/previewyoutube] To get this new server off the ground as smoothly as possible, a number of measures are temporarily in place to give all players the best experience possible. This includes an initially reduced world size, some items added to the Marketplace, and certain restrictions on the Black Market. For more details on these measures, see [url=https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/195377][b]this forum post[/b][/url]. [h3]The Untold Story[/h3] But who are these brave bards stepping onto Albion Europe with tales to tell via the medium of music? Could it be…. Austrian power-metallers [b]Dragony[/b]?! [img]//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/5b46bc05d23659d33e90f5ad725417dbbad28844.jpeg[/img] It could indeed! That’s right, Dragony has written a brand-new track, [b]“The Untold Story”[/b], to mark this momentous occasion. The song captures the spirit of adventure, and the thrill of writing your own story, that is at the heart of Albion Online, and they even dared venture onto Albion’s shores to film a music video for it. Check it out here: [previewyoutube=ZSLuF-MVh2Y;full][/previewyoutube] So it’s official - after many requests we can finally announce: [b]Albion Online has Dragony[/b]. [h3]Twitch Drop Campaign[/h3] And that’s not all - we’re also running a special [b]Twitch Drop[/b] campaign to mark the launch of the new server. Until [b]11:00 UTC on May 8[/b], players watching Albion Online streams can earn themselves the most adorable [b]Brown Alpaca[/b]. [img]//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/5692a3ae1e8185b27e48af2a18437d95062ccd05.jpeg[/img] This Stag mount skin can be yours if you watch streams from members of the Albion Online Creators Program for at least [b]15 hours[/b] during this period, and after that time the skin will still be available in Community Chests. If you already have a Brown Alpaca, don’t worry - you can still earn one and salvage it for Community Tokens, which can be traded in for a different skin. And this campaign runs [b]in addition to[/b] our regular daily chests. So if you’re not busy building up your character on Albion Europe, tune into Twitch to get a fluffy new mount skin! [h3]Watch the First Guild Season[/h3] [b]Season 23[/b] begins on Albion Europe on [b]May 4[/b], and we’ll be bringing you the action live on AlbionTV. [img]//assets.albiononline.com/uploads/media/default/media/7f55ae8006b1f0c456141500c734abfd0bf10d85.jpeg[/img] At [b]17:50 on Saturday 4 May[/b], join hosts Robinhoodrs, Shozen, and Bogul to watch the very first territory invasions on the new server. With guilds eager to stake their claims in the Outlands early on, it’s sure to be an exciting occasion.
