Albion West: Escalation Claim Second Crown

Season 20 started where Season 19 had left off, as the war between the POE coalition and the XXX coalition raged on. This would carry on throughout the season, as POE pushed back, and towards the end of the Season the XXX alliance folded, with the FFlow alliance taking over the coalition to spearhead the fight going into Season 21.

In the north, the Grap3 alliance held their territories against countless attacks throughout the Season, a... Read more

Beyond the Veil Patch 12 - Ver. 22.120.1 - August 14, 2023

Gold Market Purchase Fees

This patch introduces a new mechanism to the Gold market: Purchase Fees. These are additional fees when buying Gold with Silver, calculated as a percentage of the Silver cost and added on at the moment of purchase. The purpose of these fees is to discourage the hoarding of Gold for expected price rises, while consequently increasing the amount of Gold in circulation. Importantly, however, these fees will not apply to purchases of Premium for Gold or Silver. This will ultimately have the effect of reducing the cost of buying Premium with Silver, for players who wish to do so.

The percentage fee can be seen on the Gold Market screen, and, when purchasing Gold directly or setting up a Buy Order, the exact Silver fee will be displayed in the confirmation popups.

This mechanism means ... Read more
