Albion Online News

The AlbionTV interview series on twitch.tv/albiononline is back to introduce a new wave of AOCP Ambassadors joining us with the Abyssal Depths update. Kicking things off is someone who needs no introduction to regular AOTV viewers. That’s right, Nazori steps out from the War Report and into the spotlight this Friday, July 11 at 20:00 UTC!

If you’ve tuned into War Reports or Invasion Day coverage on AlbionTV, you already know Nazori. As one of the show’s hosts, he’s got a knack for turning the chaos of the action into clean, understandable plays, and somehow making a failed bomb squad dive sound like a cinematic masterpiece.

He doesn’t just talk the talk, either. He leads the guild Elkonic on Albion Americas, alongside his wife Megz. Turns out watching thousands of fights really does teach you a thing or two, as Nazori's performance as both caster and commander proves. You might’ve already seen them in action in their famous 6v50 Faction Warfare video:

He’s all about those outnumbered fights on his streams, and he’s absolutely inseparable from his trusty Tombhammer. He may or may not hold the all-time kill record with it, but nobody’s brave enough to challenge him on it. His YouTube channel is stacked with PvP chaos and comedy, from his “Saladmancer” zero-to-hero series to the historic roam where every call had to be replaced with frantic Italian menu items, because nothing protects you from sniping like a well-called lasagna.

Now, as an Ambassador, he’s dialing things up on a more serious note by working on a full guide series for new players and planning some creative collabs with fellow creators. Catch him live on AlbionTV this Friday at 20:00 UTC, and don’t miss your chance to win a vanity skin handpicked by the man himself.

Having faced the infernal horrors below, it's time to surface for some fresh air, a slice of cake, and perhaps a moment of relaxation. But hold on –  ginormous statues have come to life again! To celebrate Albion’s 8th Anniversary, the Living Legacy event returns in full force, bringing oversized foes, celebratory chaos, and a whole lot of birthday flair to the surface.

Event times:

• Albion Asia: July 10, 23:00 UTC – July 28, 23:00 UTC
• Albion Europe & Albion Americas: July 11, 10:00 UTC – July 29, 10:00 UTC

[h3]Living Monuments[/h3]
Throughout the world, the towering statues of Albion’s legendary guilds are coming to life again, and they’re just as grumpy as ever. You’ll find them roaming Tier 5 or higher Zones, and smashing them to rubble can earn you exclusive, tradable rewards, available only during the event:

• Eighth Anniversary Stallion (Riding Horse skin)
• Anniversary Banner – Light Blue (Furniture item)
• Anniversary Cake: Grants a +15% non-PvP Fame boost for 30 minutes
• Chromacannon (Vanity Weapon skin – Fireworks!)

These statues appear in three escalating tiers. The bigger and nastier they are, and the more adventurers you bring along, the better your chances of scoring something rare:

• Construct: Mid-tier statues with common loot. Suitable for solo players or small groups
• Colossus: Stronger enemies visible on the local map, carrying greater rewards
• Titan: Massive, map-spanning threats that scream “group up”, and drop the best loot of all

[h3]Anniversary Gifts[/h3]
Log in at any point during the event and we’ll send a free commemorative gift straight to your ingame mail containing:

• Eighth Anniversary Avatar
• Eighth Anniversary Avatar Ring

So grab some cake, smash some statues, and celebrate Albion’s birthday the traditional way – with fireworks, chaos, and a healthy dose of post-demonic stress relief. Happy anniversary!

The Abyssal Depths update reworked the way Learning Points function in Albion Online, with Quick Learn replacing Auto-Learn, and changes made to the way they are spent. So to help you get up to speed with how this new system works, we’ve created a guide offering an overview of the Quick Learn mechanism, the node management system, and some hints on how to spend your Learning Points wisely.

Check out the guide here, choose your path, and boost your progress!

This patch focuses on making adjustments to new features introduced with the Abyssal Depths update, along with important fixes to a few gameplay issues.

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: Why Not
• Alliance: Girth
• Guild Leader: Mendo
• Date Founded: July 19, 2024
• Size: 200 members
• Primary Language: English
• Server: Albion Europe
• Discord: discord.gg/RVZgEkvn4x

Tell us about your guild.

We started as a small group within a larger, non-English-speaking World Boss guild. When that guild disbanded, we stuck together and founded Why Not. We always fought with a goal in mind: becoming a guild that offers a wide range of content, without forgetting that we started as an honest World Boss guild, which is who we still are today.

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

The name was chosen with someone who was supposed to be our second Guild Master, but who left before we started. There wasn’t any special meaning behind it; we just needed a name quickly to place a hideout for a World Boss war and went with the first one we agreed on. When the guild became a serious project, we decided the name wasn’t so bad after all.

What sort of activities do you focus on?

We began as a World Boss guild aiming to provide the best Fame farm in the game. But given the stereotypes around World Boss guilds, I decided that if we survived our first major war, we’d diversify. We now offer roaming PvP, ganking, and more. We’ve even tried ZvZs, though with mixed results so far.

What sort of members are you looking for?

We care more about quality than quantity. We’re looking for players who enjoy playing together and want to improve in both small-scale PvP and ZvZ.

Where is your guild primarily located?

We’re based around Thetford, which is where we originally started playing. We’ve stayed there ever since, regardless of how politics have shifted.

Do you have any rivalries or ongoing quarrels with other guilds?

Our entire history is full of rivalries, wars, and conflicts. The guild itself was born in the middle of a major World Boss dispute. Since then, we’ve been drawn into many others, too many to list here. Join the guild and I’ll give you the full two-hour lecture myself! (I’m a professional chatter and meeting disbander.)



What are some of your most memorable battles or activities?

One of the most unforgettable moments was getting scammed out of an estimated 2 billion Silver by a member we trusted too much. It could have broken us, as it hurt our regears and overall economy, but our members stuck around, and generous friends like Akleel and Tetta helped us recover with loans and donations. What I find memorable about this is not the fact that we got scammed, but that our members and friends stood by us and helped us get back up!

Another highlight was when my right-hand man Danyv1 joined, along with other close friends. Without his constant positivity and dedication, we wouldn’t be where we are today. (He helped write these answers, except this one, which I snuck in while he wasn’t looking!)

What does your guild do for fun?

We don’t usually organize activities outside the game, but we aim to provide a variety of ingame content. We may soon start some community events as well.

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

We take a midcore approach: we want our players to improve and play well, but not at the cost of fun or sanity. Communication, contribution, and common sense are essential to how we play together.

What are your goals for the future?

We haven’t had the time to decide our end goals since there’s always something new happening. But our long-term dream is to keep building a space where people enjoy playing together, with both fun and dedication. As for next season? Who knows! We’re definitely not aiming for leaderboard rankings.

Anything else to share about your guild?

I think that the thing we are most proud of is being one of the longest-standing World Boss guilds to exist on the EU Server, as well as the beautiful community we’ve managed to create. On the technical level, I must mention the crazy well-coded script that our friend Luis spent (and still spends) time on: thanks to it, we are able to track people’s activity and contribution, handle tickets, issue rewards, and much, much more! Without his constant help, we would be spending more time on Discord than enjoying the game!
