    I think QoL improvements are more important this time around. The game has been out for a while now and still no WASD or controller support, and nothing in regards to anything cross-platform for consoles. This is a game that should have these things.

    I'm still salty they called this game a sandbox. "Hurr durr. We got UO camera and drop gear on death = sandbox."

    It really makes me sad knowing how many gamers will have played these "sandbox" mmos and passed judgement on the genre without ever actually experiencing a real one.

    This game is a moba with extra steps :(

    i don't know why this game got all this negative vibes .. it's a solid mmo with some non-casual and non-mainstream designdecisions ..

    It's disappointment for people expecting Ultima-level world interaction from "sandbox" gameplay and/or more arcade gameplay (as primitive graphics suggest). But its economy is a disaster with overpriced everything but basic equipment (thus you quickly face the P2W options to buy in-game currency for $$$) + its gameplay is far from both arcade and sandbox.

    i don't know why comparing this games makes much sense; ultima was my first mmo, i loved it but i don't want to play it today - albion is a complete other kind of game and i don't know if it needs tags like sandbox but i don't unterstand why you are complaing about the gameplay - feels smooth for me? it works : ) and yes there a many overpriced things, but it's not very difficult to get them - albion is grind, and grind is something you like or you doesn't like - in my opinion the grind in albion is compored to other "grindy games" not more or even worse ... but just my 2 cents ...

    Nice. Albion Online is going from strength to strength. Not dead at all.

    Love this game! Best MMO I've played since Asheron's Call. No, its not perfect, but it's alive and well!

    Is this strictly a PvP game or is there a PvE only option?

    It's PvP and PvE. It's free to play right now! Jump in and try it out. Game population is very good right now.

    There really isn't a PVE only option, unless being limited in progression is acceptable to you.

    Eventually you will have to venture into the badlands and have to deal with or avoid PVPers.

    Recommend finding a good guild to show you the ropes.
