Creator Spotlight: SIGHUNNY

[h3]SIGHUNNY[/h3]What is the main content you create on Twitch/YouTube?

How and when did you get into creating Albion Online content?

I first discovered Albion during my military service, playing it on mobile, and I immediately fell in love with it. I always wanted to be a creator, and I promised myself that once I finished my service, I would start a YouTube channel. I was certain that Albion was the game of my life, so after being discharged, I jumped in blindly without knowing much about content creation. I loved Albion then, and even now, six months later, it’s still the greatest game of my life!

Do you have a favorite video of yours that you think everyone should have seen? Let us know why it's special!

This is one of my favorite videos:

Do you have any new content in the making that you would like to tease?

I’ve been working on a guide-style video for new players who are afraid of full-loot PvP, especially Corrupted Dungeons.

What advice would you give other players who are considering becoming Albion Online content creators?

Just get started, do what you love, and always give your best. Fans will come, and people around you will start supporting you. The most important thing is to stay grateful, and remember that success doesn’t come from skill alone, it takes a lot of luck as well.

Behind the Banner: Black Lotus

Behind the Banner is a series that shines a light on Albion's many diverse guilds, from fierce PvP warbands to tight-knit social communities. Each episode delves into the identity, playstyle, and goals of a different guild, offering a glimpse into what life is really like behind the banner.

  • Guild Name: Black Lotus
  • Alliance: OUCH
  • Guild Leader:  NazGhoul01
  • Date Founded: December 2024
  • Size: 141 members
  • Primary Language: English
  • Server: Albion Americas

Tell us about your guild.

We started off as a small-scale guild, massing about seven people for fights over open-world objectives. Over time, we’ve grown to field 35 to 40 players for much larger objectives. We’re known for taking outnumbered fights: 2v1, 3v1, and recently even 4v1.

Why did you choose this name? Is there a story or meaning behind it?

Back when we first started the guild, we had a close group of people we always played with. Each person chose one name to be added to a wheel of fate, and Black Lotus was the one that came out.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
What sort of activities do you focus on?

We mass for two CTA timers, 2 and 4 UTC, usually for castles, Outposts, and .4 nodes. We try to hold one territory on both timers but focus more on securing one for the 2 UTC timeslot. Throughout the day, we have a strong group of content leaders who run different activities for our members.

What sort of members are you looking for?

We always welcome players who like PvP, but since we’re a non-mandatory guild, it’s not required. We simply ask that anyone who joins stays active and takes part in guild content.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Where is your guild primarily located?

Currently in Martlock. We started out in Thetford, then grew enough to join an alliance in Lymhurst. After that, we moved to Martlock and stayed there for a few seasons before venturing back to Lymhurst. Recently, we returned to Martlock to join OUCH.

What are some of your most memorable battles or activities?

Taking castles while outnumbered has always been a highlight. Our Invasion Day in Lymhurst, which was featured on AlbionTV, was another great moment. We’ve had many memorable fights over time, and winning outnumbered territory battles is always something that sticks with you.

What does your guild do for fun?

Mostly just hanging out with each other. After ZvZ, we often do something we call “Black Lotus After Dark”, which usually means running around in 4.1 gear and causing trouble for other groups.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
What is your guild's approach to the game? Do you have any core values or beliefs that guide how you play together?

We’re a non-mandatory guild that values people who actually want to play together as a team. We offer feedback, but never in a harmful way. Our goal is to coach and guide newer players toward the content they enjoy most.

What are your goals for the future?

For Season 30, our goal is to push for Gold. Long-term, we’d like to reach Crystal rank, but we’re not stressed if that never happens. What matters most is maintaining a great guild that plays together and enjoys each other’s company.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Anything else to share about your guild?

We’re proud to be a competitive non-mandatory guild, and we’re always looking for members who will be a good fit for our community. Whether it’s someone joining our ZvZ mass, participating in other content, or just being active ingame and on Discord, we value people who enjoy being part of the group. A good chunk of us have kids, so when we get time to hop online and play, we want to spend it with people we genuinely enjoy being around. I can honestly say I like being in comms with everyone here. Every day brings something new, and we all mesh together really well.

Season 29 Wrapup



Season 29 will be remembered as a season shaped by ruptured alliances, unexpected retreats, and finales decided in minutes. Each region told its own story, but all shared one thread: no coalition, no guild, and no plan came through the final weeks of the season unscathed.

[h3]Albion Europe[/h3]
Season 29 on Albion Europe unfolded like a saga of broken oaths and bitter ambition. GIRTH opened strong with a clean sweep of the top three places, but the alliance soon splintered when Skoggangr broke away after clashes with Heralds of Valhalla. Raids followed, setting the Outlands ablaze and reshaping the political map. As Take Care surged toward first place, the real drama played out just behind them: Heralds of Valhalla holding the line, Utopia launching a costly campaign for third, and Skoggangr stalking the podium with growing momentum.



In the end, GIRTH’s fractured unity held long enough to secure a full podium sweep: Take Care first, Heralds of Valhalla second, and Utopia third, an achievement rumored to have cost them over 5 billion Silver. Skoggangr, though shut out of the top three, became the season’s defining disruptor and a looming threat for Season 30. A special shoutout to every guild that hit Crystal Rank this season, with a record of 24 guilds in total reaching the top spots!

[h3]Albion Asia[/h3]
On the surface, Albion Asia lived through one of its quieter seasons, but only because the true fighting happened in the off-season, when the region’s major guilds united to crush an attempted eviction. Entering Season 29 with their coalition intact, the field settled quickly. All Rise built a commanding lead and never let it slip, while Stellar Alliance and PURE GOLD held steady behind them despite whispers of internal strain and guilds eyeing independence.



The finale delivered exactly what the standings foretold: All Rise secured their second gem, Stellar Alliance locked in second, and PURE GOLD completed the trio. Yet the stability feels temporary. With words of war once again brewing on Albion Asia, will the fighting last past the off-season and make it into the season itself? The storm is coming, and everyone knows it.

[h3]Albion Americas[/h3]
For more than 2,700 days, Make Albion Great Again chased a title that always slipped away. Season 29 finally gave them the opening they’d waited nearly eight years for. They pushed into the lead early, holding firm through constant clashes with Rogue Natives and the turbulence between the N10 and BOBER alliances. As the finale approached, rumors spread that Rogue Natives might try to rally the server for one last attempt to stop Make Albion Great Again’s long-delayed ascent.



But when Invasion Day began, that plan collapsed instantly. Make Albion Great Again wiped Rogue Natives in under a minute as territories activated, then shut them down again at Murdergulch Gap before any counterattack could form. From there, the season had only one possible ending. Make Albion Great Again claimed their first-ever championship at last, with Rogue Natives in second and INTERDITS in third. After years of near-misses, persistence finally carried Make Albion Great Again across the finish line.

With Season 29 concluded, the Outlands feel more unsettled than resolved. Alliances frayed, grudges deepened, and many guilds now face the consequences of the choices they made along the way. Before the next season begins, congratulations go to our champions: Take Care, All Rise, and Make Albion Great Again!

Season 30 starts with a lot of unfinished business, and it won’t take long for those tensions to surface. Check out the full Season 30 schedule, and don’t forget to tune in to AlbionTV for live coverage as the new season unfolds. See you on the battlefield!
