Hello everyone!


Recently, we have received an increasing amount of reports from players being pushed from a Yellow Zone into a Red Zone by abusing a specific edge case with forced movement mechanics.

We would like to raise awareness that abusing this mechanic in order to push players into a Red Zone is considered an exploit under clause 15.5.4 of our Terms and Conditions and those who abuse it will be sanctioned accordingly.

This not only includes the players actively pushing but also the ones that actively participate in the group to kill those players once they are pushed. We have to assume that they know what their party members are doing and are fully aware that they are abusing a bug.

If you see anyone abusing this mechanic, please file a report by writing to ... Read more

Hi everyone!


On Friday the 1st of July we will have a scheduled Forum Maintenance.

We expect it to last from 7:00 UTC until ca 8:00 UTC.

During that time, the Forum will be unavailable. That means you won't be able to access any threads or posts until the Maintenance is over.

If anything happens during that time, we will keep you updated through our other channels of communication: Discord, Reddit, and Twitter

We are sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Hello players of Albion,

I would like to introduce you to all the upcoming changes for Season 16. We are completely overhauling castles, with new layouts and treasure chests spawning through the entire week. And we are also adding an additional 5v5 non-lethal Crystal League, which in conjunction with the new Crystal Arena should lower the entry barrier for Crystal League and bring in more players.

Castle / Castle Outpost Overhaul
For Season 16 we overhauled Castles completely, and vastly improved the Castle visuals in two entirely new layouts. And Castles now spawn high value chests throughout the entire week. Every 3 hours, every Castle and Castle Outpost has a chance to spawn a chest. This chest has a random value, which is broadcast globally one hour before it can be opened. Since all these spawns still stay synchronized, the largest power blocks can’t contest all chests without splitting up, which also allows mid-sized guilds to contes... Read more

Into the Fray Patch 1 - Ver. 20.010.1 - June 20, 2022

Arena / Crystal Arena Changes

  • Vastly improved matchmaking; 5-player pre-made matchmaking in particular should be much faster and do a better job at finding opponents on a similar skill level
  • Players are now automatically healed at the start and end of Arena / Crystal Arena matches, and all cooldowns (including capes) are reset
  • Players’ max load is now increased when in an Arena match
  • Highest Crystal Arena Rank Points for the season are now visible in the Character Stats UI
  • Arena limited rewards now always reset during maintenance instead of the current 22-hour cooldown
Other Changes
  • Players can now travel to Royal Cities and islands from Portal Towns while carrying items / baggage
  • Increased time for treasure chests i...

Dear Players,


As you might know, there was a bug regarding the distribution of Fame progress on the Destiny Board last Thursday, which was fixed with a Hotfix 4 hours after it went live. (link here: forum.albiononline.com/index.p…ribution-Bug-Consequences)

Due to that, today at maintenance we have set back the Destiny Board for 500+ players who have heavily exploited this bug. This mainly includes players using a massive amount ... Read more

Into the Fray Update - Ver. 20.000.1 - June 8, 2022

Magic Staff Overhaul
Into the Fray kicks off a complete overhaul of Magic Staffs, bringing their visuals, animations, audio, and gameplay to a whole new level.
  • Fully reworked player animations for staffs: one- and two-handed Staffs have greater variance while casting; animations vary more by ability type
  • Improved VFX, audio, and readability specific to each Staff line – e.g. Cursed Staff spells use aggressive red and black with shadowy skull shapes, while Nature Staff spells use pleasing shapes/colors and calming sounds
  • Each Staff line has a distinct color association for combat readability
  • Numerous reworked and updated abilities, including:
    • Fire Staffs:
      • Pyroblast is now a channeled skills...
