i personally think good and owns

but it is a f2p game on release

it entirely depends whether you think the items and a month of alpha play time + closed beta access is worth the $50

I mean "alpha" doesn't really mean a lot anymore, I'm in one alpha where the game is practically done and completely playable, and another where it literally had a full launch two months ago and it's still an unfinished buggy mess. How playable is this, and considering it's such a social game - is there a decent playerbase?

If it were unplayable or not much of a game I'd tell you. I'd still have bought them ( See - ARK (which unoptimized to an almost unplayable level) or Crowfall which just straight up isn't a game), but I'd tell you it was bad.

Albion is close to feature complete at this point, the main thing imho is coming up with balancing. Last time I played it had quite a few people and the number is only going to increase on release when its free to play.


I hate to be hopeful about a sandbox MMO in TYOOL 2015, but I actually am about Albion

Sounds great. Any word of when the beta will be or how long it'll be in beta?

No word on beta length. Summer alpha starts on June 29th for the $100 backers, the 30th for $50 backers. One month for summer alpha I believe.

Let it be known that eonwe has the most #guildleader tags and therefore it must be true.

Also yes, the game is worth 5x:10bux: even if you burn out in a month. That's 50 bucks for a month of entertainment!
