- Greatly improved connection speeds and ping for the whole Asia-Pacific region;
- Timings of game and server events (territory battles, Crystal League, Faction Warfare, maintenance, etc.) that are optimised for the region;

Sandbox Interactive's Game Director Robin Henkys describes the new server as a
major milestone in the game's development: "The Albion community has always
been truly global, and the new server will make the world of Albion more
accessible than ever for countless players. We look forward to welcoming new
and existing players to the Albion East server and seeing this new version of
the world of Albion take shape."

About Albion Online
Albion Online is a Sandbox MMORPG featuring full-loot combat, a fully
player-driven economy, and a classless "you are what you wear" skill system.
The game is fully cross-platform, playable on PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, or Android
with a single account, and is localized into numerous languages including
Japanese, Korean, Traditional/Simplified Chinese, and Indonesian. Albion
Online launched in 2017, launched for Steam in 2018, went free to play in
2019, and officially launched on mobile in 2021. Rather than offering a linear
path with predetermined quests, Albion Online allows players to write their
own stories and play in countless different ways. Deep guild, alliance, and
faction systems allow players to join up with friends and allies to claim
territories and take part in massive battles. Gathering, crafting, and trading
are all essential parts of Albion's player-based economy, offering fame and
fortune for players with sufficient skill and ambition. And Albion's sprawling
world, with five biomes spread across two massive continents, offers nearly
endless opportunities for exploration and discovery, with a huge range of PvE
and PvP options for solo and group players alike.
About Sandbox Interactive
Albion Online is developed by the Berlin-based studio Sandbox Interactive,
which was founded in 2012 by a core group of dedicated MMORPG enthusiasts and
has since grown to a team of 80 people. Sandbox Interactive follows the belief
that the creation of your own world and interaction with other players are
paramount to entertainment, and that these ideas are truly brought to life in
the sandbox genre. With Albion Online, the studio has created the world's
first truly cross-platform Sandbox MMORPG – a game that places compelling
gameplay and the player experience squarely in the foreground.
