The popular and still heavily supported MMO Albion Online has officially opened up servers for Eastern players after teasing this launch a little earlier on in the year. This new server is meant to allow Eastern players, primarily within the Asia-Pacific region, to play this lovely PvP-heavy MMO without having to open up a VPN or operate on super high ping.

Albion Online has seen a lot of success, with frequent updates and a steadily growing playerbase despite being nearly 7 years old. With an engaging gameplay loop that mostly consists of crafting higher tier gear while taking part in constant progression within a player-driven economy and a PvP scene that will cause you to lose your hard-earned gear permanently, it’s a unique beast and the playerbase loves it due to how niche of an experience it truly is.

Now, with the launch of a new server, more players will be able to try it out for themselves! But that’s not the only selling point of a new server, as a brand new place to play means that this Asia-specific server will get to experience a new and untouched version of the Albion world.

Free of the top-tier guilds that already hold a grip over the other server along with any resources that have already been sapped up and the player-created buildings will be absent too. It’s a blank slate for players of this server, and that’s quite exciting given it’s an experience no one has had since the game originally launched.

So, if you’re looking for a community-focused, PvP-heavy, crafting-based MMO to play with your friends or solo, you truly cannot go wrong with Albion Online. If you’d like to give it a go for yourself, you can download it for free at either of the links below!
