Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to get started
>Is Albion Online free to play?
Yes. The game is free to download and play. Premium status and gold can be purchased, but both can also be earned in-game through trading.
>What platforms can I play on?
Windows, Mac, Linux and Android, with iOS support planned. Every platform connects to the same single world, so your character comes with you.
>Is there a single server?
Yes. Every player shares one world, which is what makes a single unified economy and persistent territory control possible.
>Do I lose my equipment when I die?
In the yellow, red and black zones, defeat means dropping your gear. The starting blue zones are safe, so you choose how much risk to take on.
>Are there character classes?
No. Your capabilities come from the equipment you wear, and you can change roles simply by changing gear. Progression is tracked on the Destiny Board.
>What does Premium do?
Premium increases fame gain and yields from gathering, refining and crafting. It does not grant combat power that free players cannot obtain.
>How does the economy work?
Almost every item in the game is crafted by players from gathered resources, and traded at city marketplaces where players set the prices.
>Do I need a guild?
Not to start, but guilds are how players claim territory, run large-scale battles and compete in seasons. Most long-term play happens through them.
