Hello all,

We are currently looking to expand our team of freelance translators working on Albion Online for the following languages:

• Japanese
  
• Italian
  
• Brazilian Portuguese
  

Translations are paid on a per-word basis, and include in-game strings, website articles, newsletters, and video subtitles. Time commitment is approximately 5-10 hours per week, with normal turnaround times of at least 2 working days.

If you're interested, please contact me here on the forum with the following information:

• Your name
  
• Your language(s)
  
• Your translation experience (experience translating games is a plus but not required)
  

We look forward to hearing from you!

After several days searching the open world, and the loss of some of Albion's finest scouts, we have finally tracked down the missing Conquerors' Hall statues... and they're alive!

We need your help fighting them, so today marks the beginning of a unique, two-week event: Living Legacy. To mark the occasion, we've created this new video:



Go out there, fight the statues, and celebrate Albion's fifth anniversary with some themed vanity items, birthday cake, and city decorations!

Hi everyone,

With the anniversary stream event coming up, we want to address the ability to claim Twitch Drops from multiple Twitch accounts with one Albion account. This will now no longer be possible. As of today, each Albion account can earn each reward only once per drop campaign.

Furthermore, if you claim a reward from a campaign that ended over 14 days ago, we cannot guarantee that you will receive it. Therefore if you want to make sure you receive your rewards, we advise you not to stockpile them!

You will still be able to earn the four common community chests from weekly campaigns.

Thanks and we hope to see you for the ... Read more

Albion's past has come to life! On the eve of Albion Online's fifth anniversary, statues of seasons past have awakened and can be found across the world. As they were created as tributes to conquerors, these statues are hostile and will employ a wide range of weapons and magic against those who cross their paths.

These statues can be encountered in any open-world zone of Tier 5 or higher, and exist in three different versions, increasing in size, strength, rarity, and map visibility:

• Construct of the Ages: These mid-level statues carry riches to be claimed, and do not appear on any map. They can be defeated by solo adventurers or small g...
