Albion East World Size & Territory Prime Times

    • Albion East World Size & Territory Prime Times

      Hey everyone!


      The official launch of the Albion East Server is coming up soon and with it a start into a new and untouched world.

      Now, to make this start a smooth and exciting experience for everyone, we are taking a couple of precautionary measures to make sure everyone has a good gameplay experience.


      First of all, we will adjust the world size at the start to match the pace of the players moving into the world.

      Secondly, territory prime times for Albion East will be different from those on Albion West to focus more on the time zones of the players living in the Asian and Oceanic regions.

      We anticipate Albion East to grow over time, just as Albion West did back when the game first launched.

      The speed of this process will be hard to predict, so we’re trying to strike a balance that leaves enough room for growth while at the same time ensuring space is limited enough for players to compete over.

      In short, the world will start off a bit smaller than it currently is on Albion West to ensure enough player density for a good PvP experience.

      This affects mostly the Outlands (Black Zone) and the Roads of Avalon, where some of the Zones will be covered in a thick fog that will not let you pass into them.

      The fog will be gradually cleared from the map based on player activity.


      In the first step, these will be the Zones available in the Outlands:

      As a general rule, the Territories on Albion West of a specific timer have moved to a new specific timer on Albion East.

      For example, all Territories that have the 00:00UTC timer on West now have the 16:00 UTC timer on Albion East.

      Here is the overview comparing Albion West to Albion East:

      UTC (Albion West)UTC (Albion East)
      00:0016:00
      03:0018:00
      05:0002:00
      12:0005:00
      15:0008:00
      18:0012:00
      21:0014:00



      On the Royal Continent, only these 11 Zones will be locked at the start:

      Dewleaf Fen
      Brons Hill
      Saddle Tor
      Kilmar Tor
      Sandgust Cleft
      Steelhide Meadow
      Flynsdell
      Russerdell
      Pen Uchaf
      Pen Fenair
      Murky Fen




      We are already looking forward to meeting you on Albion East!

      Why there are no terries for Australian players, their best prime time will be 10:00 UTC, consider it.

      For some terries battle start time should be 10:00 UTC
      If a patch needs to be deployed, the east server will have an additional maintenance at 10 UTC, for this reason 10 and 11 UTC drop out as possible territory timers.

      Noting the frequency that the is patched, I don't see an issue with 10 & 11 UTC being a problem. Once every two weeks it may be unworkable due to a patch or deliberate update?
