Albion Online Dev Tracker

Hello everyone,

We wanted to update you on the speed-hacking situation once again, as we have continued to work hard on this issue, and have not stopped or slowed in our attempts to remove those who use or benefit from game exploits.

As you may remember from our first update, we banned approximately 6,500 accounts in one week after adding to our team and implementing new technological solutions.

Albion’s warriors have discovered Knightfall Abbey, and are exploring its depths. Traces of the legendary Arthurian knights remain, with their treasured virtues of Justice, Valor, and Compassion. But elsewhere in Albion, the antithesis of knightly virtue reigns supreme. In the darkness, cultists summon unspeakable horrors to do their bidding.

A new vanity set launches next week, bringing forth the darker side of Albion's history. Stay tuned for more…

The Rogue Adventurer Starter Bundle is now available at a huge discount! It’s joining our other Adventurers - the Knight Adventurer and Mage Adventurer - in our special range of Adventurer Starter Bundles, offering a Vanity Bundle, 7 Days Premium Status, and 50 Gold for the cost of 7 days Premium!

The Adventurers are some of our most popular Vanity Bundles, and all feature main-hand vanity weapons that can be toggled on or off. They also each come with their own Armored Horse Mount Skin, and guild versions of their hat, armor, cape, and mount skin that allow you to show off your currently active guild logo and colors. With all of these customizations available, you and your fellow guild members will be a formidable sight as you ride into battle!

After a successful Closed Beta and Early Access period, Albion's new server, Albion East, launched for all players worldwide on March 20. That day, the surge of new players reached 277,000 total active users, a new all-time record for the game. And just over a week later, on Sunday, April 2, that record was smashed when the servers had a combined total of over 300,000 active users!




(Note: for the purposes of this chart, "users" refers to active accounts.)

During these record-breaking windows, active Steam users also reached their highest-ever numbers for the game, with a new all-time peak of 25,833 concurrent players on Steam alone, which is just a fraction of Albion's overall player numbers.

The previous record of 271,000 daily ... Read more
