And here’s a short description and a feature list:

Featuring a player-driven economy and the flexibility of its “You Are What You Wear” class system, Albion Online delivers a unique MMO experience that shines a spotlight on the actions of its community. Borders fluctuate as guilds vie for land in an unending PvP struggle. Player-crafted goods and equipment populate the realm’s vendors. Enterprising individuals corner local markets with their own storefronts. Rangers can trade in their bows for axes as they collect lumber to fuel their guild’s war effort.

Everyone – be they warriors, gatherers, crafters, merchants or bandits – matters in the forging of Albion Online’s rich and living history. So whether you’re ready to strike out with a group of likeminded adventurers or retreat to your own personal island home, the wilds of Albion are yours to explore and shape.
