I love the idea of Albion Online
The game is actually a lot more shallow than you think and it's likely that due to Albion's poor guild management tools (and complete lack of attention to addressing this, which is one of the biggest concerns of almost every major guild in the game) the game is going to be a flop. The game was supposed to be released this spring but is now moved back to some point next year.
That being said, I'm still looking forward to the wipe on the first and am hoping that once SI is done with their new map they will actually turn their focus to the legitimate concerns of the community. I had hope for the game for nearly 3 years but now as we're approaching it's "Final Beta" I'm losing hope that this game will ever be anything more than the bare bones concept it currently is. Yes the skill tree faints complexity and diversity, but in reality there are 3 armor classes and 15 weapons. There are 8 crops and 3 livestock. The "variety" is a hodgepodge tiered item system that only serves to confuse novice players with the illusion of choice.
Again, I still want Albion to succeed but in it's current state the game is likely to be long dead before it gets it's full release. When over 80% of the game's community quit months ago, you know you're trying to beat a dead horse.
Yeah like I said, I'm still going to give SI the chance to redeem Albion, but after being burned by so many indie companies in the past and observing SI's attentiveness to the communities concerns over the last year.
We've received very minimal in the way of actual changes to the game since it entered beta last august and with their "MAJOR" patch for august being little more than a new map and balancing tweaks I feel justified in my concerns.
I'd love to see you delve into the suggestions forums on Albion and see where most of the communities concerns lay and do a series on it. If nothing else, you might be able to bring to light the countless issues that have drove away Albion's player bases in the droves that SI seems to have other wise turned a blind eye to.
I love the idea of Albion Online, I was a huge fan of Ultima and to have its spiritual successor at hand I'd be heart broken to see it turn out like Everquest Next or Warhammer AoR.

Albion Guide: Iron-Clad Tank
Medium Helmet is a personal favorite in Albion, as it offers a multitude of skills that are very useful on most builds, depending on what form of PvP you are involved in.

Albion Online Spell Indicators
I think just about anyone that uses anything with a skill shot can show you this. If you shoot a skill shot your character will take a small stutter step in that direction. What used to be an instant cast skill shot is now a .5s delayed skill that forces to to run in unwanted directions.

Albion gvg feedback
Gvg must not be connected with the rest world of Albion. It should be like a lol or dota2 session. 20 minutes of tactical and practical pvp. No one in no way should interfere in gvg.
