[b]Albion Online[/b] is a sandbox MMORPG set in an open medieval fantasy world. It has a fully player-driven economy in which nearly all equipment items are player-crafted, and armor pieces and weapons can be freely combined in a unique, classless "you are what you wear" system. Players can explore the world and tackle challenging PvE content, or engage other adventurers in small- or large-scale PvP battles to claim territories.
[b]The World of Albion[/b]
The world of Albion consists of two major landmasses: the [b]Royal Continent[/b] and the [b]Outlands[/b]. Every player starts on the [b]Royal Continent[/b], which offers beginning players a safe environment to learn how to harvest, refine resources, fight mobs, and get to know people. The Royal Continent presents a clear progression from green to yellow to red zones, progressing towards the center of the Royal Continent; with full-loot PvP starting in the red zones.
Once you've experienced your first PvP fight, joined a guild, and settled in comfortably, you can eventually transition to the [b]Outlands[/b]. The Outlands are the untamed part of Albion, with no Royal Expeditionary Forces to enforce any laws. This is where guilds are free to claim territories and wage wars, plundering and attacking as they please. The Outlands are also the richest in resources and treasures, but be careful: powerful creatures roam the lands as well.
[b]Is Albion Online right for you?[/b]
Albion Online is a huge open-world game that offers a wide variety of gameplay experiences: open-world gathering and PvE, fast-paced PvP fights, huge battles between competing guilds, and everything in between. Because Albion Online is a sandbox MMO, everything in the game is forged by the community: from the weapons you equip to the mounts you travel on, everything is player-driven and player-created. The game will reward dedicated players who take the time to complete their chosen progression path, but at the same time allow more casual players the opportunity to participate and find a niche within the game.
