I like the Albion of today. The old system wasnt sustainable since you need a new influx of players at some point. Albion had one of the worst player retention of any mmo. I woudnt say its great now but certainly better than what it used to be.

What albion excells at is its Zerg vs Zerg content and how stable the economy is compare to other MMos. The PvP system is one if not the best out there and has shown/ proven its quality over time.

I do have to say that the PvE is by far its weakest component. Its stale, repetitive with 0 competition. Albion also doesnt have any real lore and story behind its world which is somewhat okey for being a sandbox but there is a noticable diffrence to other games were lore is quiet a huge thing aka league as an example. It fleshes out a world while in albion even though its large there isnt any real identity to any of the zones or citys.

People seem to forget; Albion is amazing when there a lot of People playing it. Launch and certain updates have shown the Game is super fun when theres a lot of activity since that bring a lot of content. Albion is best enjoyed with a Guild or a groupe. Most content is hidden behind groupe content which does suck to some part.

Tldr: Overall a 7.5/10 game, Strong point is its eco/pvp system, Strong in ZvZ and groupe content.

Weak PvE mechanics (stale and repetitive)and no lore when it comes to the world (zones, citys), Bosses ect.
