The sandbox MMORPG Albion Online has received a new update that disrupts the game’s economy.
The resource gathering plays an important role in Albion Online since the economy in Albion is player-driven. However, the developers have intervened and reduced the respawn rate of Tier 2 and Tier 3 resources. The respawn rates of Tier 4 resources, on the other hand, have been slightly increased. This aspect of the game returns to the times before the official launch of the game.
The update also brought some bug fixes, including a problem that prevented players from gaining fame through crafting.
Long-term effects are yet to be seen
The impact on the economy is clearly noticeable. The respawn rate of the resources affects the production of the items for which the resources are needed.
In addition, players are now finding runes and souls much more often in the chests. Additionally, previously obtained portal locks will be lifted if you teleport back to the safe region within a minute after traveling to the Outlands. All of this results in Albion Online feeling noticeably different to play.
Players are currently divided in the forum over these changes. However, it is still too early to foresee the medium- and long-term effects of these changes.
