I've been playing Albion Online on and off as the game's Alpha phases are released since winter 2014. Albion Online is a full loot PvP MMO, where guilds fight for resources as well as to control areas of the game world. You can own a house on the main continent as well as buy your own personal instanced island to do farming and other activities on. I cannot put my finger on it because truthfully the game has a grindy aspect to it's design but I love the game. Resource gathering, crafting, dungeon runs, and open world PvP are highly enjoyable and the game has a simple but very likeable art direction. I am currently playing with a large guild called Conflict. As PvP centric MMO guilds go, Conflict has been a great guild. We are ALWAYS running content together and they are very supportive. I think being in a very active guild is key to enjoying this game. I would recommend them, but if you are looking for maturity... welp! Mix of young and old. I would very much appreciate it if you used my referral code if you decide to buy into Albion. You follow the referral link and make an Account. For the referral to work, you must not have created an account prior to using the referral link and buying the game. EDIT: Apparently my previous offer is against T.O.S. but PM me if you end up using it. I would basically get the same types of things you get for referring friends to WoW.

That first screen remind anyone else of Edge of the Mists?
I'll look into it, but money's a bit tight to be buying into pre-release games ATM. My unemployed status hasn't resolved quite as quickly as was hoped.

Albion is still in Alpha so no rush. But if you enjoy open world PvP I would highly recommend it. Access to Alpha is not inexpensive, but I suspect the entry to play at launch will be less. So no harm in waiting. That said, the game is entirely playable in it's current state. I think all they are really working now is economy and net code.
I made this post because I received a lot of interest from twitter posts I made about the game, and I wanted to get referral credit if MPers actually did end up buying the game because of my enthusiasm for the game, as well as get more friends in to play with.
Btw I forgot to mention final product is F2P with an optional sub.

This may be mentioned somewhere, but can't find it.
How long does the Summer Alpha go?
And the Epic package is the one needed to play now, right?

I think summer Alpha will go on another 3 weeks but it could go longer. The dev has not given an end date.
Yes Epic is the lowest tier pkg with immediate access. Sorry for late response.
Thanks Jabberant! My first referral in a game ever!

I can't wait to play this. If I can't win a copy for alpha access I'm probably going to buy at least the beta one before that starts. Even though I told myself I wouldn't buy more games until after October ...

Massively had a few videos highlighted today (one of which I'm healing in, Conflict vs. Nerd Rage). Watching those videos will give you a good idea about whether or not the game is a good fit for you. Some people apparently hate it. If you don't enjoy large group PvP I would wait to test for free, because that is Albion's main design focus. I do think that comments like 'arktourosx' are way off base. He's very wrong on some of his points. He just seems very jaded.

All I will say is that I am interested, but do not count on me for joining up. I have no spare money for buying games.
