One thing that should also be mentioned is that the previous Q3 stillfront missed earnings from the botting problem. After they addressed the bots they then got ddosed to hell.
They cite these 2 event as the sole reason they missed their projected profit on Albion and have since promised investors that future content updates will offset the losses
no shot you play albion too
heyy i loved your latest video The Pemberton Incident - An Unsolved Mystery!
Ah interesting. I talked to Stillfront and looked at their Q3 report for researching this video but didn't want to make it too financial. I didn't catch the note on future updates making up for the lost revenue though.

The sad fact about it is that Albion lost a lot of long time players that started back in 2020 or earlier.
Sure, they gained a fair share of new players with split server, all the large group content boost.
But majority of those smaller groups moved on to different titles, unfortunately. I've been in couple small guilds and they either developed into large scale ones (forced by game), or simply quit. ggs
Is there another mmo like this they moved onto?
@@KristiaionHenrikssen hard to name one, but just examples: Guild Wars 2, New World, EVE Online, I chose ESO to play solo, Throne & Liberty, Lost Ark, Dark & Darker and many others depending what you are interested in. I used to like Albion for the full loot and challenging fights, but it gets to the point where opponents will always stack more numbers than you and bring higher tier gear to have every advantage they can & win.
It's so sad what's happening to Albion, It could be so much better, I'm sorry SBI couldn't make this better😢
They could, just sold out. Decision were made.
They sold out, so sad.
Hey man where'd you go? Even if you're not playing Albion, I'd love to watch more content from you!
Albion died the day they started prioritising group content and started majorly disadvantaging solo players. Solo playerd are the lifeblood of any MMORPG and when you constantly and consistently screw th over like albion does, you can't have much of a future.
Dude i ve been seeing this comment on various platforms, can you clarify this to me please? As a player who is interested in small group content, been playing since alpha release i cant understand how game is going for group content? They destroyed very popular 5v5 hellgates, removed crystals, roads are almost dead; meanwhile mists and corrupteds are the most popular thing for years bow which are for solo players. We turned back to game as 10irl friends after 2 years, we cant find any content for small group; its either large group zvz or solo now. Big chests are next to hideouts and 20 people run to you at black zones, factions are fucked now. Why people think game is goin for more group content? Because of tracking? Lol. We also cry cuz we think game is turning to a solo game.albion was first introduced as big zvz fights, one of a kind in its time which became quite succesful i guess. Now its turning solo to sell skins like a mobile game? No idea, so confused atm. ( didnt watch the video yet first saw your comment and wanted to learn why people think its turning to more group content game)
@@tashmoo It's very simple. Every change made in the game. From open world to mount health to resistances, etc favor group content. The entire game is about group content and all solo players have is mists (filled with p2w players) and corrupted (most boring content in albion). We literally can't step outside anywhere else without being mobbed by a bunch of unskilled chimps who's only skills are discord and keyboard mashing.
@@acekaihave you checked the zones near bercillian city its empty af now with no one gathering the .3s which is right near the entrance
@@astra8538 I actually haven't and that's interesting. But it's kind of a misnomer since it's a nightmare to transport from brecilien to other cities.
... *What the fuck*
Spot on. Thanks for making this, I feel the exact same way. I really enjoyed hellgates as it was the last content where skill was primary factor over gear. Awakened weapons ruined that. It was the last straw for me. Cancelled my premium sub and haven’t had the motivation to log in.
100% agree. Game industry is collapsing. I came here from WoW, i know how game downfall looks like. Also, Seeing my comment in the video feels like seeing myself on the TV :D
If it's collapsing, why are the servers busting with populations? You're clueless.
"Whale" is the common term for the "Cash Cow" metaphor you used to good effect, here.
I have more argument for your theory: trashrate, island update, rune/soul/relic increased number for enchanting, blackmarket changes on trashrate
EU launching and Foundations update soon. Hoping BigLipsMcgee will publish a new post upon launch.
I was really enjoying the game, played it for the first time ever and was hooked for a month straight. My friends that had played previously finally got on to play with me, and now no longer want to play due to the shapeshifter update. All of them hated it
Brother the whole game industry is a big scam and corruption atm ; ( they jokin on players
i stopped playing years ago back and a few days ago i tried it again in pretty high hopes, but oh boy... im sad the game turned out like this, albion is probably one of my favorite games IF they decided to improve the casual player experience instead of focusing on milking wallets, and now that i can afford premium, they increased the price to make it not worth it unless albion is the only game i play.
I think one of the biggest problems MMO's have in this day and age, is that in order to do the things you love (Usually pvp) you have to pve for an equal amount of time to affored it, making the game more pay to win increases the Pve side forcing you to spend more hours farming to gain the same amount of joy from the game which directly effects the quality of the game. The marketing team wins (at the cost of the playerbase) by this increase in Pve time as well, because now the ratio between RL Currency in game value becomes more appealing. By in-game value I mean time spent farming.
The exact same thing happened to Eve Online where as soon as another company bought them out things started to go down hill.
Well I think the game is still f2p if you have decent skill on how to efficiently do roads like killing the bosses on grass chests and actually clearing them out for blue and purple chest,
With tracking drop rates increased you can surely do it in the red zones while watching out for the no of ppl flagged for pvp its a good gig with possibility of making 200k to 1mil
There is also t8.3 maps although it sucks sometimes it can give small profits
Then the best way to earn money is wearing the best set you can and having a fast mount and ganking all those big guild t8 gatherer in sunfang dawn
thankyou to bring this up, great research lead to awesome vid
YOu're right. That's exactly how Gameforge destroyed Metin 2. But the non-loot faction warfare for me personally was and still is the best opportunity to earn silver, I could recently buy and use my first 8.3, without having to worry that i lose it.
ABout the awakened weapons... I tried to do them myself and calculated that: for the price of a regular 8.4 healing staff I can make a 5.4 awakened that heals the same amount, but deals much less damage, but gives me a nice amount of HP. In this case, surprisingly balanced, I expected much worse. Of course, in short term it would be much better to buy 8.3, but still...
This is truly sad
Great video I agree with you. Excited to see what game becomes worthy next.
The game has none of the charm that drew in the original players who truly were a cult following. Long time veterans that committed so many hours into their guilds and communities to create content for all to enjoy. Hardcore players that had been playing since the betas and even alphas that could not stop coming back. SBI shifted away from community driven content to cater to the more casual players with things like CDs and Mists which has pulled a large number of the remaining players out of the open world and into instances. Since Lands Awakened was released the quality of black zone content has dramatically decreased. I don't see the same staunch competition between guilds, alliances and coalitions that once drove majority of the content in the game without the need for incentives like chests, orbs and vortexes. The removal of hideout and territory exclusivity took away any reason to really fight hard for them, since any clown and his circus can put down a HQ and now every zone has a dedicated police force to ruin your day just for stopping by. Gatherers are rarely seen out there compared to the old days since the introduction of much safer gathering in the Roads and Mists. Ganking routes have died compared to the past since players can now just press R for a very negligible amount of silver, not to mention all the nerfs and changes made to curb ganking. Solo/duo players are essentially forced into the Mist to be cannon fodder for card swipers, the removal of the 2 charge green roads really putting the nail in that coffin which began with the decline in relevance of solo dungeons. The world used to be teeming with solo players and small groups since the guilds and alliances that controlled the territories/hideouts had a much harder time policing all of the zones and really didn't have an interest in doing so aside from their core territory. The world used to be alive and the content that was made by the players was so much more spontaneous, dynamic and exciting than this current world where SBI dictates to you what it is you should be doing and where you should be doing it. There is so much more I could say but I'd be here all day. I went from a playing an ungodly number of hours a week to playing a few hours once every few months only to find I am not having fun and hate the content. I really do miss the way the game used to be but I doubt it will ever be in a state that I would consider playing seriously ever again. Thanks to everybody I met on my adventures in Albion and all the awesome memories we made taking on the world together. Those were the best days I've ever had playing an MMO,.
I have 3k hours in game and didn't logged in for 6 months. Because of Albion, I've met so many people and made good friendships. Memories I've made with this game are immeasurable. But just like you said, I can't find any reason to come back to game now. Everything or every content now feels hollow and pointless.
Too long didn't read, no one cares about old time players, mobile chads will take over, hold this L lil bro
The golden years in this game were amazing. I will remember this game when I'm an old man but ironically last week I canceled my subscription and said my goodbyes. I'm not a big whale bit have had premium since 2018 and spend about 60$ a year on gold. Still feels unplayable and unbalanced sometimes. Both combat and silver making.
was waiting this from u haha, thanks bro
I have so many amazing hours in this game. I have been playing ever since the game went F2P until about a year ago, ever since the server split i haven't had the desire to return back to the game. I love Albion so much, it is such an amazing game with an amazing world and art style. It's sad to see the game like this, seeing things like this makes me realise that my final minutes playing Albion... might have already happend, and that i might never return to the game. I'll be watching from the sidelines, but damn seeing this makes me sad, i had no idea stuff had gotten this bad. Thanks for making the video McGee.
same time i quit man sad to see the game die :(
its runescape classic worth it though? i dunno what to play anymore im still w8 for a good mmorpg
@@MaestreOne-zl1ub Give it a go! Tbh due to how the engine runs it is too clunky for me, but the content is definitely there
Me too i stoped playing after the premium cost increase but i still played here and there but the server split was the main cause of me just deleting it. My ping on the west sucks but i have my account there and i dont have my account on the east but ping is okay. Both have something to be annoyed about.
Kixeye / War Commander another Stillfront acquisition is pretty much in the same boat . Thanx for taking the time to do this video
Very succinct analysis. I appreciate you calling yourself out as purely speculating. I agree with you that this is probably the case. We all saw the same thing happen to our other favorite games too :( Would be funny if SBI/Stillfront caught wind of this and had a panicked response to you being spot on at a shareholder meeting!
I haven't played for like 1 year and comming back everything seems very expensive (I mean gold, premium, cosmetics) was there an increase of price for these things?
They bumped gold for 1 month sub from 3000 - 3750. They opened the Asia server, and now opening the EU server as well, which effectively screwed their VERY healthy economy/ player base.
When I started in 2021, premium was 7-9mill silver for 1 month. Logged in today to check up on the market activity and stare at my main for a few sad minutes. Premium is 24 million silver now.
Because of the other servers they opened, and the bad update choices. A market that was once thriving is now garbage. I checked the major trade hubs (Fort Sterling/Bridgewatch). Items that I used to trade in would have 200+ transactions an hour, now have a measly 5-8.
“Big numbahs, only go up!”
My friend and I quit the game after playing it consistently for 2 years, we found ourselves struggling to keep up with premium, while collecting fame and levelung important nodes and trying to budget some silver to buy builds and learn how to pvp properly.
The way premium is right now, its just a treadmill to barely scrape by. Our time investment wasnt respected at all, in fact if anything we were expected to invest more of it!
Been playing Albion for nearly 7 years at this point and haven't has the desire to log on in a good few weeks. Whilst there has been updates, the game feels pretty stagnant to me. I actually think a good path forward for the game would be a significant shift of focus into PvE content. I know it is a PvP game and love it for that, but there are only so many different arenas and types of PvP to explore. Or so something new and radical like sailing/ship content.
Amazing congratz!
wait a min he said "let albion online go for good" in 15:35 to 15:41 does this means he is quiting?
Hey man, I work in FP&A and there are three phases to acquisitions: recover purchase cost (typically an amount equal to 5 annual revenues), add value, then sale the asset. Stillfront is probably still trying to make sure SBI isn't a loss. After they have recovered the investment, Stillfront needs SBI to pay for itself while it shops SBI around.
Just curious......do you have opinion whether Stillfront acquired SBI with debt or capital?
5:05 silver is currently easier to get than it was like 2y ago(at least for me)
And you're saying u can't get buy premium after buying 1st time?
For new players sure, they can choose between playing longer to get premium or paying real money for it
After 1st premium it's really easy to keep buying with silver
Hey idk if you heard that one before, but damn my man you sound just like thorskywalker😅 frikin love it bro
i miss u mcgee🥹❤️ ur back finally 🙌
Man i hate to see this im a new player and i rlly like to grind away time in this game...
Hope it stays for a long while, tho.
The premium price here in east server is already 30 mil and now players are quitting
Cuz SBI makes every form of money making useless except for PvP and actively insentivizes being a rat or 1vX lowby ganking?
One thing to consider is that these high-silver-cost activities /are also/ good silver sinks.
i just got back into albion and I'm having a p good time, a break was all I needed
Well, i had to comeback to this video, since they announced the EU server launch, you proved everything right.
they did the same thing when they released roads of avalon, all the ava gear was stupidly overpowered, and the artifacts to make said gear, was therefor very hard to get. Alot of the ava gear is still very OP, and expensive.
miss u man!!
deeply agree with your POV, it's really sad to miss a game that I played so much for so long, but I mean, SBI will prolly keep making money, so kudos for them. Too bad that they had to ruin the game for that.
I get so sick of companies that feel the need to see CONSTANT growth, and if something isn't CONSTANTLY growing, then it's inherently bad from a business standpoint. If something is making them money, but the production costs aren't increasing, then why does there have to be an issue in making more money? I was pretty shocked when i came back and realized premium was so expensive, but for how big the game has gotten, it's not so unfair compared to the likes of WoW or other sub-based games.
The world of hyper corporate capitalism.
min-maxxing.
Yo big lips Mcgee, hope you're doing well.
I have notifications on hoping for a new video maybe on a different game or Albion... Idk
But Hope you're doing well! Best Albion Online RUclipsr!
This is sad. I hope you are doing well, whatever you are up to now.
Fun video.
Personally I think SBI made the right call by increasing the number of tracks, but not the rewards. Shapeshifting weapons aren't really any more inaccessible to the average player than artifact weapons are, and given their overall power balance, I'm glad they aren't a budget build.
If SBI had actually just integrated a shapeshifting weapon in to the various existing lines, a la artifact weapons, I suspect most of us wouldn't be as upset as we are about their accessibility/scarcity/power.
I quit playing back when TKM fell apart. I see old guildies on from time to time on Discord and I’ve been considering coming back, but now I’m not so sure.
i prefer dealing with cashcows as solo player than hords of gankers with radar hacks... since solo ganking is dead, this game sucks
What if they made a separate mists have IP caps? Maybe it'll create a leveled playing field for all? Making more content for solo and maybe even duo?
big guilds on east is just feeding each other with objectives lmao but on casual basis they dont even touch each other when they come across the map
Can someone do a wellness check? 2 months no upload.
😥
Ok so I’m a new player and this video really discouraged me getting into this game that like. Should I continue invest time in it or just go one with my life and find something else?
I enjoy it, play and find out.
Did Big Lips stop making vids?
This is the latest video, and it's 6 months old.
It seems like. Poor guy has such a love/hate relationship with Albion.
For those who have left Albion, and fear that someday it will actually die, what is a good alternative? I really enjoyed this game, and would love to play something like it.
eve online, its kinda like albion but in space:)
Runescape
@@triksguardhd7978 other than that hehe
it isn't actually dying, this youtuber just don't have anything to content, so he's just msking baseless assumptions
@@eliassaclolo9511 its prolly not dying FOR NOW so when that happens, whats a good alternative? And for people who DO think its dead, what game are they playing now? If they are playing any.
amazing video, kudos for the great work big lips. being part of the best times of albion was really a privilege, it really was a game we all loved and enjoyed so deeply. even though we knew what was coming years ago when we noticed the first changes, it still makes us deeply sad seeing everything painting this big picture overall, after all these years. as you said, no one is to blame here, it is just the natural cycle of life. watching this felt like a closure to me.
capitalism is not a natural life cycle. people can produce things for human want and need before profit, capitalism just works to eliminate this.
People still play and enjoy the game as is. Ur just burnt out hon. The game isn’t dead. Log in. Cities are still full constantly
@@LoveyLand of course it is full constantly. there are people who enjoy the game as it is, and there will be people who are always cycling. that doesn't mean the game we know died and some players accepted it.
Dw guys, I just joined so it can’t be dying.
Let's see how long you play and how many hours you rack up before you quit compared to the veterans.
So does this mean no more Albion videos?
Hello, Why you/everyone inspects enemies equipment constantly while fighting them.
So you can know what spells they are running and how strong they are?
I can agree with almost everything, and i am supprised that someone who is content creator had balls to tell how crap this game is right now after 3 years of greed for profit by stillfront,
I feel exaclly the same, every update, every changes arent to make game better but to make any profit even if they sacrifice the game and cleary see that they dont care how many players play the game and enjoy but how much money they made in a year...
So does this mean u wont upload or play albion online agian and if thats the case will you still upload youtube videos from other games?😁
I knew I wasn't bugging...😢
Problem I'm having ATM ...is no guilds ...yes there are guilds but they only want certain things .most I apply for is like a job application....I'm playing solo 90 percent of the time
I keep wanting to get into the game but one thing that keep getting me stuck is money i don’t mind buying a monthly subscription but the fact that is so hard even if you have that monthly subscription the time you have to put in it becomes more pay to win
Bro makes a very good content for solo players, but very little talks about big part of Albion which is ZVZ. This video just shows how limited his gameplay is and he just talk about the content for solo players. Welp it is somehow true but Albion is always a group game and if you play together with people well it just doesn't matter. So judging from a perspective of solo players/solo content is not that much accurate to predict the game's future. If you guys want to continue this discussion, I can deep dive you more why ZVZ content is thrown out of his videos and not talked about, which creates negative and hopeless for the future of Albion for BigLips.
ZvZ is only a shadow of what it used to be and to be quite frank, it sucks. Especially now that controlling a zone means nothing since the release of HQ hideouts. ZvZ was always a chore for guild members that only did it to keep their guild in power and maintain their access to the black zone, which comes for free now.
I agree that Albion devs did a tactical mistake in selling out because :
1-Were they thinking a company that invests 100+ millions wont make pushes to make more cash?
2-I disagree that the last patch were to milk "whales" , If anything they were to milk views and free publicity from twitch streamers.
3-I dont consider myself a whale and I bough the pack when the game was being developed to help the company , I felt betrayed that they sold out. I always payed my sub with cash.
4- The content they have pushed was more towards one man , or 2 content (twitch) I dont give a shit about that content so good luck with that paired with atrocious balancing shenanigans with the weapons being nerfed left and rigth and changing skills from skill shots to dum auto aim skills because of said content .
5-I never tougth going for mobiles was a good thing for albion , it stupidifies the game to accommodate people with slower machines and small screen's in the detriment of the PC crowd, but those people are accustomed to swipe like dumbos.
What Albion needs is more tools to play in the sandbox , better guild managment ,better wallets (guilds,alliances) contracts systems , siege weapons , man made castles ,boats etc etc.
What did we have these past 2 years ? Mists and solo dungeons currupted , mega clap .
hopefully we will see a return of the v rising content on this channel
lol I wish. Game's deader than Albion will ever be xD. We'll see how official launch goes tho
Can't lie tho vrising was one of the most fun experiences I've had on a game in probably the past 2-3 years. Sad to see it so so bad after the update and such but I do think a lot enjoy it just not much replayability
Same stuff happened to EvE. Pearl Abyss got their grubby paws on it, started selling advancement in a game that was based on time invested. It is now their worst IP for money making.
I had fun in the few years I really got into Albion. It was the premium price jumps that ultimately pushed me away. I could still freemium, but just barely. Mists were touted as the solution to the 'Solo player experience' and just turned into rat/whale hell.
Sorry to hear that the game you've spent so much time in isn't cutting it for you anymore. I feel your pain. Here's to hoping you find something to fill the void. For me its been learning to code.
i really wait your video....i think i really like your speak and voice🎉
great video , wanna add only 1 thing to last part " important notes". financial companies of course seek profits and they are doin their jobs. however, if you become too greedy you kill golden egging goose instead of steady growth and steady profit.
I came to Albion to take a break from eve. Then started getting red flags I learned from rs3. I come back here for a month at a time a few times a year but the adds always turn me off. Grouping up to kill credit card warriors is fun in Albion and eve but the safe zones of Albion reduce the satisfaction.
My 8.2-8.3 gear just got destroyed by insane damage of an awakened T5 bow that one shot me even with hunter hood reflect on. Haven't log on much after that
i mean. 5.4 awakened weapon counts as better 8.1 or 6.3 or 7.2
sooo......... get rekt boi
I do feel you here
I run a top 100 guild and I cannot begin to tell you how financially intensive it is. The efforts to make money in this game is so mind boggling difficult - its clear its been designed to drain your silver balance as much as possible. Unless something changes, eventually I will disband the guild and leave the game behind forever.
Only reason I haven't yet, is I do not see any valid alternatives to open world pvp mmo to steer my players to.
'profane' is hitting alpha soon. It looks really promising. And about your guild, well, BZ crafting was a thing back in the days... Just craft in bulk in your HO, then use Ava-roads (when there is a nice connection) to Blackmarket
@@imnearyou8912
You need to have over a 95% delivery completion to make profit.
Gankers have multiple t3 naked scouts watching all entrances to caerleon.
I've moved several billion in assets to caerleon. I have a large guild I can call on at any time to escort me.
I am telling you I know about this and I have access to create means to ensuring a higher success rate than almost anybody and it is still not very profitable.
Ok, what are the alternatives?
I need it to work on ios/ipad...
I quit the game 6 months now planning to come back this January to check my char
BigLips making a guide video intended to SBI instead of players. BIG
What I like about Albion is not the game but artstyle
I believe that money is the answer in situations you are not sure of
I used to tell my students that "self-interest" is the best first question to ask yourself about an odd situation requiring an explanation. When self-interest isn't the main explanation... you really have something interesting to talk. But it hardly comes up, as self-interest is almost always a powerful determinant.
what they sold it in the first place ?
they just got rid of the 7 day premium option. hmm, i wonder why
You know how fun it is to kill cash cows in the mist though in your 300k set lol.
Hey BLMG... you were my favourite youtuber in albion back in the day. Sad you've seemed to quit... there is truly nothing like albion. If you do cover some other games maybe you could try out mortal online 2 (similar to albion but first person) or eve online (albion was inspired from eve) and show similarities, new player experience idk. I just thought you were a really good creator!
MOM GET THE CAMERA!! Its me
Is this your last albion vid for the near future?
Ty for this. Hopefully community can interpret dev actions better thru some knowledge of these things.
Tbf, global financials overall are a hot mess, so I imagine Stillfront is in a tight spot and not necessarily some mustache twirling villain.
The thing that really bothers me is lack of openess from SBI. It really has led to the community scapegoating all kinds of players. Royal refiners, hideout craters, alt farmers, cc sweatlords....always some players fault for playing within rules.
Ì stopped swipe prem 3 months ago and have zero intention of starting again.
Right around the time I felt like i was gonna be all rounder, maxing out my weapon, armor trees for my mage so I can focus on building my healer or tank branches... they slap on 20 more levels for each weapon ... :/... it made my achievement and proudness of maxing out my trees feel less valuable knowing I have 20 more "elite" levels to grind out and will be stuck grinding the same branch for little while longer...
Played it , enjoyed it until it felt like a job then stopped playing
Dude looking like the Mr Robot villain
Honestly i moved on, i had a lot of fun, hundreds of hours, but i'm going to play Tarisland, Throne and Liberty and Corepunk. Hoping that at least 1 is gonna be good, otherwhise, i've a list of 25 mmos.
Albion itself is a great game, funny and brave enough to have pvp full loot, which is very rare nowadays, but it suffer a lot from a certain % of user that try to scam, rmt and take all they can get. If you give people too much freedome, some shitters will always try to take advantage of the situation. And, while in the real world we have tribunals and police, here we can just look at bot auto-gathering, bots transporting, huge ass group that win with no effort whatsoever.
Sadlly, for some, profit is better than fun and it shows.
Bridgewatch market has been out of t6 prowlings for 5 days now
Huh I was just about to start 😂
Great Video. The fact of the matter is, that until there is actual competition to Albion Online from a legitimate contender, SBI and Stillfront will continue to get away with the terrible trend of P2W updates. The awakening system by far has been the most egregious of all attempts, and this is only for the weapons. This will continue with the armor awakening and eventual legendary systems, and it honestly is sad to see how much the item power disparities are across the game in multiple game modes. For now, I am just going to enjoy the parts of the game that are fun for as long as I can until another game comes out with better gameplay in the full loot PvP niche.
I joined the game near the call to arms update and loved it and saw a lot of potential for it, so it made me sad how it became more and more pay 2 win and left the game and when I recently tried to retry the game on east as it was closer made me realize all of this and quit 2 weeks later. Really sad how this turned out and hope it changes of the better also in my opinion didn’t like separation of east and west cause I kinda saw the big server as something unique and see a proxy server or even multiple proxy servers as something better, though I’m not sure if it’s easier or not as I don’t know much about it
I wish albion change how the dugeon loot system works. I always grind alot in dungeons specially t7 dungeon but i always get little amount of return not even close to 100k in blck zones. Although it still worth it for fame but the grind for silver is really hard i wish they change it.
Jip and after a year or 2 . A month of premium is over 20 mil when it was 8 mil
When the game dies they should make a final update where the bosses are the stillfront people and you always die and never win
Big lips McGee is the best video crafter in the history of the universe
Miss you gvb.
Hey lips !!! Damn i stopped playing just before stillfront takeover for personal reasons. Kinda sad on what Albion community passing through right now, plenty of memories were made playing this absolute blast of a game during COVID. Meeting hundreds of people, knocking hideouts (mostly defending lol) [they actually removed this nooo]. AND CHILLING
I was about to take a look at Albion again (probably still), i wonder now what other alternatives that can actually replace Albion ?? There are barely any similar games on the market now sadly.
Quite sad to see how the game i once loved so much that i spent over 3 thousand hours in it is turning into this i started losing faith first after they changed faction warfare in yz to non-lethal after asking the three biggest faction warfare servers at the time ,with over 80% voting for it to stay lethal, and still changing it regardless. It really breaks my heart to see the game get worse and worse ( in my opinion) but maybe now is the time to give my hopes for the future of this game up although it hurts . I always had a great time watching you so yea thanks for all the content you did so far and may do in the future
we will miss the caller saying "on top of us in 3,,2,,1,,," nice content guys GG's
