Albion Online (AO) is a medieval fantasy MMORPG developed by Sandbox Interactive, a studio based in Berlin, Germany.[1] During the beta stages of development, players were able to purchase "Founder's Packs" to gain access to the closed beta play-tests which were run intermittently by Sandbox Interactive, typically after an interval of a few months of development. These Founder packs are no longer available, since the release of the full game. Albion Online removed its free-to-play model for various reasons on December 30, 2015.[2]
Since its release on July 17, 2017,[3] Albion online now offers a selection of "Starter Packs" which grant players access to the game and offer a varying amount of gold to get started.[4] Once a player purchases any of the starter packs, they will be granted open-ended access to the game with no extra mandatory fees. It is possible to purchase gold (in-game premium currency) to gain a further advantage. Players can also purchase membership for a limited amount of time without the benefits of the starter packs.
