Sandbox Territory: Albion Online Closed Alpha is Near
Another sandbox MMO is on the way, from a company who aims to be a familiar name in the genre. Sandbox Interactive will be putting its cross-platform MMORPG Albion Online into its closed alpha phase this March 24th, and anyone looking to be part of the action should hop to it, as there will only be a limited amount of alpha keys.
In Albion Online, players create highly customizable characters, which can mash classes and function as one power-playing unit. A player based economy that relies on the players to build both the buildings and the items makes for a unique realm and experience. Over 800 territories that can be claimed and conquered, and to the victor go the resource spoils from that particular guilds village, bringing a “full loot” aspect to the game.
Albion Online will be available through different platforms such as Windows, iOS and Android, all at the same time and in the same realm.

No, this doesn't mark an "official" launch.
Pass. Sh*t game detected.
I don't really understand why people are so crazy about getting into alphas or closed betas. The only things you get for participating are bragging rights and some basic experience to how the game works. Everything else is wiped. And I hate having to do everything over again.
