“Albion Online,” the fantasy sandbox MMORPG developed by Sandbox Interactive, today began a 3-week Closed Beta for its forthcoming “Albion” East server. All players who join the Closed Beta will receive the premiere Arcanist Vanity Bundle for free, unlocked on both servers.
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. Whether PvE, PvP, or guild vs guild, every action in the game has a meaning… as well as consequences, as PvP battles in the danger zones of the game world are a “winner takes all” affair.
In addition to previewing a completely untouched version of the game world, the Beta offers a unique 3-week Beta Guild Season with persisting statue rewards, plus automatic accelerated progress in numerous areas:
- Automatic Premium for all characters
- +100% Fame from gathering, farming, and PvE
- +200% Resources from gathering and fishing
- +200% Silver from mobs
- Resource weight will be reduced by 66%
- All characters start with 2000 Learning Points
The full launch of Albion East happens in one month on March 20, 2023, with Early Access for Founders beginning 5 days earlier on March 15. 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 Asia-Pacific region. Both servers will retain Albion Online’s Free-to-Play (with optional Premium subscription) model, and both will be accessible by all players worldwide.
Sadly, access to the Closed Beta requires a Founder Pack so it’s not open for everyone (unless you buy the Founders Pack.) For more info on Founder Packs and the launch timeline, check out the “Albion East” page.
