“Albion Online,” the fantasy sandbox MMORPG developed by Sandbox Interactive, today announced the launch of a new server, “Albion East,” for the Asia-Pacific region. Along with offering a new start in the world of “Albion,” the new server will offer much faster connection speeds and optimized event times for players throughout the region.

About “Albion Online”

“Albion Online” is a sandbox MMORPG from Sandbox Interactive, set in the medieval fantasy world of Albion. Whether playing a hardened fighter, a farmer, a merchant, or a master craftsman, in the player-driven world every single weapon and every single building is created by the players. Thanks to a “you are what you wear” system free from typical class restrictions, a skilled archer can instantly become a powerful mage, allowing players to define their own roles within the game world.

About “Albion East”

While the game will remain free to play on both servers, purchasable Founder Packs offer early access to the “Albion East” server, full access to the closed beta for the server in February, protection for existing character and guild names, and numerous valuable in-game items including Gold (the game’s premium currency), Premium (the game’s optional subscription), and exclusive limited-time Founder Vanity Items.

Features of the “Albion East” (Asia Pacific) server:

• A new and untouched version of the game, where all players start as equals and can claim their own piece of Albion;
• A game world that is fully separate and independent from the existing “Albion West” server;
• Greatly improved connection speeds and ping for the whole Asia-Pacific region;
• Timings of game and server events (territory battles, Crystal League, Faction Warfare, maintenance, etc.) that are optimized for the region;
• Founders can participate in the closed beta and Beta Guild Season prior to server launch, with accelerated Fame progression, and gain early access to the full server launch, as well as reserving existing character and guild names.

Closed Beta will begin on February 20, 2023, and will last until March 12. For more info, check out the Albion East page.
