Excited for the Winter Test

in Albion Online

I havent had an MMO to play recently that could keep my attention for long. 

 

When I first played Albion, I was a bit underwhelmed. On the surface is can seem like such a simple and almost too straightforward game.

 

Then I died, and died again, and crafted myself new armor, and then wanted better armor, and then joined a guild, and made a house, then shared the experiance of a dungeon raide when I wasnt level enough.

 

Truth be told, Albion is kinda simple, but its actually a really fun game, even if it wasnt an MMO I would want to play it, simply because its different, its an alternative to GW2, LOTR, WoW, AoC, and all those other games that just seem the same to me.

 

I start on Tuesday, if anyone else wants to get in and group up, lets do it! ITs time for Adventure!!

    It's definitely a simple game that could potentially translate to fun.  It has about 1/1,000th of the features of Ultima Online, but at the same time, it gives that UO Felucca vibe what with full loot PvP and crafting better armor / being prepared and only bringing the bare essentials to gather resources or do guild events.  It's like taking the PvP out of UO and focusing on that as a whole.  Not what I'd call a sandbox game, but rather a Sandbox PvP game -- two different things that UO excelled at (given that it was still incredibly fun to play when they added a no-pvp realm due to a focus on real sandbox elements).

     

    Good game to pass the time if you find a guild that will help you and manage to build up a stockpile of things.

    Due to frequent travel in my youth, English isn't something I consider my primary language (and thus I obtained quirky ways of writing).  German and French were always easier for me despite my family being U.S. citizens for over a century.  Spanish I learned as a requirement in school, Japanese and Korean I acquired for my youthful desire of anime and gaming (and also work now).  I only debate in English to help me work with it (and limit things).  In addition, I'm not smart enough to remain fluent in everything and typically need exposure to get in the groove of things again if I haven't heard it in a while.  If you understand Mandarin, I know a little, but it has actually been a challenge and could use some help.

    Also, I thoroughly enjoy debates and have accounts on over a dozen sites for this.  If you wish to engage in such, please put effort in a post and provide sources -- I will then do the same with what I already wrote (if I didn't) as well as with my responses to your own.  Expanding my information on a subject makes my stance either change or strengthen the next time I speak of it or write a thesis.  Allow me to thank you sincerely for your time.
