now that the closed beta test is in full swing, we have a very important announcement to make.
- The closed beta will be extended until at least 1st August 2016
- The game will not be free to play at launch
For this reason, we are putting the free to play plans on hold as well. Making the game ready for a free to play model would take up significant development time which we would much rather use to make a better game. Free to play would also create a lot of risks for the game - spamming, botting, world too small, etc - which we do not want to take if it can be avoided.
When the game goes live, current founderÔÇÖs packs will be discontinued and replaced with starter packs, which will give full access to the game but offer less value for money than the founderÔÇÖs packs as this is only fair to all founders who help us in making the game. Of course, all founder's will automatically get full access to the game on release as well.
We are truly overwhelmed by the success of Albion Online thus far and would like to thank all of your for your ongoing support and feedback. Together, we will make sure that Albion Online will be a great game made to last.
Your Albion Online Team
