Albion Online Dev Tracker

Hi everyone,


With the upcoming Lands Awakened Update going live tomorrow (Nov.24th) the daily maintenance will be extended. Due to the major changes to all Biomes and Zones, we are most likely looking at a 4hours maintenance window before the Game is accessible.

This means that we expect the server to be up at around ~14:00 UTC.

We'll keep you updated on its progress! During the longer maintenance, you will have a chance to look at all the upcoming news articles and announcements concerning the new update

Update: The maintenance is taking longer than expected, we are now looking at launch time at 15:30 UTC.We will keep you updated if anything changes!

Kind regards,

Nesnes

Hello Albion-Community,

With the upcoming Season 14 we introduce a major overhaul of the guild season system, with our new Might & Favor feature in the Lands Awakened update. We wanted to shift the focus of our Season System: More emphasis on individual player activity and less passive income by holding large guild objectives. Here is a breakdown of all the changes in Season 14:

Conqueror’s Challenge & Season Rewards
With the next update Lands Awakened we are introducing the new Conqueror’s Challenge.

In this Challenge you can unlock the majority of Season Rewards by completing most activities in lethal areas of the game. This allows individual players to earn their Season Rewards without relying only on large guild activities. Additionally the progress in the Conqueror’s Challenge is kept on the player, independent from the current guild. So all rewards can be kept even when changing guilds mid-season.

However the i... Read more

Lands Awakened, Albion's next content update, goes live on November 24. With this update, all open-world zones will have their terrain, layouts, and visuals updated.

Deployment of the update will begin with maintenance at 10:00 UTC on Wednesday. After the update is live, your player character will be moved to the entrance of the zone they were in when the update was deployed, and all furniture (including crates) left in the open world will be destroyed. If you have furniture placed in the open world you will also have received an ingame mail. Please be sure to collect any furniture placed in the open world that you wish to save before then.

Additionally, Hideouts will remain in approximately the same part of the zone, but may be moved slightly and may also have different surroundings. You will be allowed one manual move per Hideout, within the same zone, within the first 72 hours after the update launches.

Hi all,

we have been made aware of various fraud attempts in the crypto currency world related to Albion Online.

Somebody claims to be selling / listing Albion Online crypto currency and claims that you can you use in connection with the game.

Be advised that this is a scam.

Do not invest into this under any circumstances.

Also, note that similar scams are being run for other popular games. We strongly advise you that if you read about a game allegedly offering its own crypto currently to check directly with the developers of said game to see if this is true before taking any further action.

The Energy Surge Season began just over six weeks ago, as a short standalone season with drastically escalated point multipliers. When the dust settled, newcomers The Lonely Men emerged as the season winners, with Hadoop and Be Careful coming in second and third.

Hello all,

With the Lands Awakened update on November 24, Usage Fees for player-owned buildings will become more transparent and straightforward, and overall crafting will have a clearer and better-balanced progression based on its raw ingredients.

NOTE: The term "crafting" in this description refers to both crafting and refining, as the values, costs, Focus returns, etc. for both processes are calculated based on the same raw resources.

Usage Fee Changes

• Usage Fees are now derived directly from the Nutrition an Item consumes when it is crafted/studied at a building
  
• Usage Fees are now set as an amount of Silver per 100 Nutrition consumed
  
  • Formerly...

Hello all,

With the Lands Awakened update on November 24, Albion's biomes will receive a massive visual upgrade, and layouts of all open-world zones in the game will be updated.

Hideouts will be automatically adjusted to fit into the updated zone maps, and will likely not move very far in their overall position within the zone. However, as other features such as dungeon entrances, choke points, and general layout may change with the update, we are allowing a one-time Hideout move after the update goes live, with the following conditions:

• This single Hideout move must be completed within three days of the update launch, i.e. ending approximately 72 hours after the maintenance period in which the update was launched
  
• Hideouts can only be moved within their current zone
  
• Each eligible Hideout can only be moved once, and once placed cannot be reverted to its original position o...

Dear fellow Adventurers!

I'm very happy to announce that you will have a new Community Manager from today onward!

A little bit about my person: I'm a passionate Albion Online player and have been exactly that since free-to-play launch. That led to joining the moderation team and eventually applying for a position at Sandbox Interactive. I've been playing online games for a long time now, ranging from single-player adventure games over co-op first-person shooters up to medieval MMORPGs like Albion Online.

My plans for the future:

At the moment, we have a gap in communication between you (the community) and SBI. This has become abundantly clear over the last couple of months with many players being unhappy about that.

I hope to change that moving forward, additionally to other plans and ideas that I will be working on which I cannot ... Read more
