@Triggy said in Is it worth buying alpha?:
Hi, I was a big fan of albion online but server issues making me getting sick of it. I found this game lately yet not many information of it. so.. is it still worth buying alpha?
The game as an alpha is pretry amazing i would have to say. With the way the devs have been handling, i dont see the game becoming something completely different to the alpha. they seem pretty set with the idea they have in their heads. In alpha 2, there are a tonne of new features to be expected to see, even if it has been pushed back, i think it will be worth it.
Like others have said, expect to find bugs and run into issues... that is what an alpha is designed to do... catch bugs (just like a beta, but to a higher degree). If you are more looking for game mechanics and stuff, probably wait a bit, coz that is usually a focus for the beta... making sure all the game mechanics work properly (but still expect bugs).
If you do decide to invest and are able to join in on an alpha or beta, you could consider it an exclusive sneak peak but also know, like others have mentioned, there is a risk. It doesnt seem like a large one at this point though the devs got quite a bit more support with the release of the shop (hopefully it was well and truly enough).
