Albion Online

The game is fine, but after spending another five hours straight chopping trees, you'll start questioning your life choices and eventually stop playing the game.

Best fishing simulator game.
Best fishing mechanic a game ever got.
Going fishing doesn't only give you fish but also gives you weapons, armor that someone threw out, and seaweeds which is lost of money in addition for you.
People make money by killing people, I make bank by fishing.
People lost money because they got murdered, I keep my fish and my money.
Dont murder, go fishing.

What I wouldn't give for a pure PvE version of this game. I don't mind the PvP but I also don't care to fight in big PvP groups. I love the combat, just not the focus on guild PvP. Not hating that that is what this game is, just personal preference.

If you're just starting the game, play the tutorial and farm rough stone until you're at 180% carrying capacity. Then do a loooong painful horse ride to Bridgewatch city and you'll have like 180k-200k silver right off the bat. Takes like 30 mins and with that money you can get complete journal quests get to level 4 gear and start farming yellow zones immediately.
Beware small D overgeared gankers when farming chests

So far, Albion isn't really a newbie-friendly game, but once you get some levels and experience up, you'll get the game to its full potential.
PROS
- Massive PvP battles that are really enjoyable. From open-world PvP, to large 100 people zerg vs zergs.
- Large playerbase, huge guilds, and plenty of things to do as a group
- Sandbox with no quests, but your quest is mainly to be the richest (i guess?), but really cool for me
- Free to play, lots of things to do even if you're not upgraded to premium
- Classless characters, meaning you can go any character, any build, anytime you want.
- Full loot PvP, as I previously mentioned, which makes the game alot more exciting and challenging
- Cross-platform support
- Microtransactions is pretty minimal to none, usually just spend $10 on 1 month of premium or even just earn ingame currency to get your first month of premium
- Conquering of cities, territories, castles, etc.
- Custom islands where you can have houses, farms, etc.
- HUD and UI is really great (for me)
- Most of the items ingame is player crafted
- Gives Diablo 2 and Runescape vibes, with a mix of some Dota 2
CONS
- NEEDS LOTS OF TIME INVESTMENT, it's really grindy to get higher tier items and rare stuff, took me a decent week to max out my gathering skill.
- Player-driven economy, inflation of items are inevitable, lots of players are ♥♥♥♥ and raises the tax to 999% in crafting stations, and most of the stations in major cities are owned by players and large guilds.
- NOT GOOD FOR SOLO PLAYERS, as a solo player myself, it's really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad to play this game alone. With full loot PvP in the open world, you'll always go against 3 people or more.
- Guilds are controlling the game. In lots of places, guilds own most of the territory and would instantly kill anyone they meet that aren't their teammates.
- Only one server, which is NA. As a SEA player, and the vast majority of the players from EU, it brings lots of us in a disadvantage, especially in PvP
- Toxic af community lol
- Gameplay gets pretty repetitive unless you're in a big guild that normally starts wars and territory attacks/defense
- Really hard to start out as a newbie, unless you got a group of some sort
- Every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ city is overcrowded, not good for people with low-end PCs even if it has Dota 2 graphics
TL;DR
Every single thing you do matters, large scale full-loot pvp, player driven economy with lots of unfair taxes and prices but mostly normal, you can be any class or equip any item at any time, yet it feels really nostalgic. Lots of frame and ping lag, especially if you're in SEA or EU or any other place other than NA. But a really good game so far, even as a sandbox, it feels like you always have something to do.
