    it's already a solved game

    discord cartel guilds already have black zone and crafting and markets cornered. no new player can upend these whales who already figured out the formula. they treat albion like their job lmao, excel spreadsheets and all. arbitrage trading per cities, defended caravans etc.

    so if you aren't a no lifer who spends his entire time on the whims of a discord neckbeard guild master and will try to get into the clique you pretty much get screwed.

    solo players don't have much to do than grind yz/mists. all the full loot pvp have guild sweats just waiting to kill anyone who isn't in a group.

    so basically to the average player it plays like a phone game moba that you to waste hours grinding so you can have a respectable set (which you'll probably lose to a guild mob)

      This is the main problem with PvP games in general. A bunch of autistic no-lifes come in and figure everything out, min-max the frick out of their builds, kill everyone, tell them to git gud then wonder why the game dies as if they didn't do anything wrong. Once a game becomes "solved" it's basically over and you're not allowed to have fun and/ or get pushed away by try-hards and their homosexual guilds.

        Pretty funny. I've been playing fractured online and this happened exactly as you described. Game went early access, a couple groups of 5-10 players who are in the same multi game community join in. They poopsock and play like 10 hours in the first day and another 10 in t he second. 20 hours in they've maxed out progression. So they spent the rest of the time running around ganking people and complaining that they're bored.

        Like I get the point, but at the same time if they help get people to their point in progression faster...they'll have more pvp.

    Its pure sandbox without any challenging worthwhile PVE and lives and dies by its PVP system, but the PVP itself is rather basic.

    Simply put, if you want a game where you harvest wood and rocks, there are way, way better games out there to play than Albion.

    I think a big thing is that a lot of developers keep trying to revive the sandbox design of UO, but cut out all the 'rough edges' they think made UO bad, when all the bullshit you could pull in a game like UO is what made it fun and worth returning too, while a streamlined game like Albion tries to be too simple that its always trying to fix problems with systems instead of simply fixing the core game design to begin with, such as making solo only zones instead of fixing solo gameplay with better anti-gank builds and making the guild vs guild less about ganking noobs for their resource packs and instead about fighting over high tier nodes and control points for closer spawn/storage spots.

    Themepark players are always filtered by sandbox MMOs. This is not a place for handholding care bears.
    There's no groupfinder (there is but it's dead). I'd say most players in this game play solo and without friends or a guild you will not participate in group content. You don't have to play with others. Solo is a perfectly viable playstyle.
    There are no quests. After the tutorial you are on your own. There are actually players that are stuck in the T3 zone that you start in because nothing is telling them to explore.
    Full loot PvP. Don't bring your expensive set out of safezones. Don't fight players you can't beat. Taking risks is fun.
    Horizontal progression. There's no endgame that you have to grind to in order to be ready for PvP. You can get anything up to a decent level in a matter of hours. The only thing that takes time to level up are gathering professions.
    Lack of guides. It's a great MMO if you are tired of meta homosexualry and datamining. Most information is outdated within minutes and there's no API. Just avoid YouTube. It's all clickbait. Ask in-game or join a beginner friendly guild for help.

        Not that anon but there is a point, the moment to moment fun of trying to "succeed" in that system whatever your own goals or definition for success might be within the sandbox. Not really that different from a roguelike where you are focused on managing your run, actually way more forgiving since you don't have to start from zero if you don't want to.
        People who are used to normal mmos never get that because they were trained to view gear as the goal itself instead of disposable assets.
        Games like Tarkov and Eve do a better job of it since they literally have disposable ammo which eventually leads one to realize that even the guns/ships are disposable too.

        Eve is a completely solved game with zero incentives to fight and essentially perfect intel tools that make solo-to-small gang engagements basically risk free as you know the outcome beforehand. The large scale fights are the most brainless gameplay in any game excluding like 3 dudes out of thousands who handle the fleet movement, target calling and scouting.

      Guilds won't necessarily make you rich. They will only provide group content.
      If you want 24/7 static group dungeons you can join any guild in the arch alliance.
      You can also earn good silver/fame by yourself in the Mists or the Ava Roads.
      Guilds usually want you to be able to play two or three roles and have a certain item power that you won't reach without doing some grinding yourself first.
      (getting one loadout to lvl 60 will give you 200 free item power and save you a lot of silver to meet item power requirements)

    Started a few days ago. I went into the black zone to fish with my T4 rod because of supposed higher yields and someone killed me within minutes. It makes me wonder if gathering is worth the risk there. Felt like gatherers are the lowest on the totem pole.

      You should fish in zones like Camlann because it's surrounded by water and you can stand right next to the exit. Bring T7 journals which fill by catching any tier of fish. Fishing picks up at lvl 30 when you can equip T5 gear and catch the T6 eel that sell for 100k.
      No reason to go fishing in the blackzone when you can't catch T7 or T8 fish yet. There's no bonus.
      If fishing is boring get skinning to T6. One full T6 hide animal is 10k silver.

      Each city has refining and crafting bonuses. You have to travel a lot if you want to make the most out of your gathered resource.

      Most players use cheap equipment and the ones that don't are often too scared to start a fight near objectives because of rats teaming up on them. Rewards always depend on RNG but the odds are much better in lethal Mists.
      Have a lot of mobility and invis and you will rarely die. A 5.1 set for 100k is more than enough to do the PvE and survive.
      Play out of Caerleon so you can sell your loot to the Black Market for 10-20% more silver. Don't go to Brecilien. We are full.

Lots of these twitch streamers are corrupt as frick or aren't even actual gamers, just hired shills by Sandbox Interactive. They all signed special contracts to receive giveaway codes and free premium access while all being ushered to have the exact same narrative about how the game should be played and even make copycat content from one another. A lot of them are corrupt and weird IRL. They all band together to try to drive a /misc/tard named SwoleBenji out of the space, the only guy who says what's really happening in this game (Basically what beta-anon's been saying) and has a huge reddit hate mob for being an edgelord. The entire game company ignores this guy even though he gets far more channel views than anyone else. It's a huge can of worms to look into just how much the company and all the other youtubers and twitch streamers hate this guy.

    Solo players don't play in the blackzone anymore. They play in the Mists which is currently one of the most profitable things to do.
    Without a guild to play with, there aren't many reasons to enter the regular blackzone.
    There are plenty of casual guilds. Discord is part of every MMO today. I don't like it either.
    If you want fair: Corrupted Dungeons are for 1v1s. Hellgates for 2v2, 5v5 or 10v10. Crystal Arena is a ranked 5v5 if you want to play Albion like it's LoL.
    When a player has set a hideout or headquarters as their Home, they will lose the Home location if they enter the blackzone through a portal city. Guilds can no longer move zergs around the blackzone like they used to.
    Players don't enjoy being ganked by zergs and spending hours backtracking. You can now just recall for a fee at anytime. You can't abuse this to move stuff around.
    Right now the problems with the game is silver inflation and the stone market which hasn't recovered after they nerfed laborers. They just released a big update to combat those problems.
    It sounds like you joined a hardcore guild that really ruined your experience with the game.

      Get into Mists and Abbeys to get those 900k epic chests.
      Assassin Jacket into Specter Shoes gets you away from any gankers that somehow manage to catch you. It's like 20 secondes of invisibility. Great for playing weapons with no mobility.
      You can play something like 1h spear, torch/horn, assassin jacket, assassin hood and any leather boots for maximum cooldown reduction (18 second sprints). Spear has Cripple that can steal other players movement speed buffs. Nothing can catch you.

        Horrible advice. Radar hackers can see you invisible, you can't escape them. Spear is a slow clear weapon that counters swords at best and isn't useful anywhere else. 900k chests don't happen even with premium active.

          1h Spear has amazing clear speed. All your abilities are AOE, it's cheap and it has mobility.
          In the three years I have been playing I have never encountered a hacker. Only yellow zone bots and maybe a few days of speed hacks.
          Radar hacks are useful for gathering but it barely gives you half a screen width of extra information.
          Your game client receives no information on the location of invisible players. There are no hacks to reveal invisibility.
          Hacks give you such a tiny advantage they aren't worth risking a ban and they do ban players very quickly.

                As a solo player go into lethal Mists and do the PvE there. Be a rat if you don't want PvP. It doesn't matter if you die and lose 100k here and there. Bank your loot after every good chest. Enter Mists from Caerleon to sell your loot on the black market for up to 50% extra silver.
                Bring 5.1 (100k per set) or even 4.1 (around 40k) and have some tools to escape gankers. Simply walk away when another player is on your screen. Don't PvP even when you think you can win. You can't do much about 8.3 players that play weapons specifically designed to gank weaker players. If you come across one just leave and re-enter.
                Scout the area before you clear a camp or objective. Anything you do makes noise that can be heard from out of nameplate range.
                I'm not a new player but I can easily get enough silver for 30 day premium on a fresh character before the 3 day premium you get after the tutorial runs out. I've done it multiple times with different loadouts just playing Mists.

              • 7 months ago
                Anonymous

                Spear, Horn, Assassin Jacket, Leather Boots, Assassin Hood, Basic Cape. In 5.1 which costs around 100k. Some fish for regen. Pork Omelette for even more CDR. CDR passives. One invisibility potion.
                Don't PvP with it. It's only good at escaping and doing the PvE safely.
                When you notice someone wants to kill you use Assassin Jacket and switch your Spear W to Cripple while you are invisible. Use it when they use boots. Even without Cripple you have enough CDR to escape anyone.
                5.1 spear is enough to kill everything. You spend most of your time in T6 zones. Switch to life steal and attack speed passives for the melee boss in Knightfall Abbey.
                Worry about PvP once you got some silver to spare.

                4.1 ursine maulers and 4.1 stalker jacket, 4.1 mage cowl, and any 4.1 plate boot.

                Regen run on boot, electric field on armor, fire breath on helm.

                Here's how you clear entire screens while only spending 30-40k:

                1) Kite all mobs in a blob.
                2) Press E.
                3) If they are enchanted / upgraded mobs, press W and Q.

                If you get ganked you just W and Q away with the triple kick and the slide. The regen boots are meta and will match everything the gankers are using.

                Invis is countered by radar hackers, and invis pots are 11k each.

                Spear is fricking slow as shit. I'd share video clips comparing the two clear speeds but I can't be bothered. Use the test realm and try out both if you don't believe me. 4.1 ursine clears faster at 0 spec than 100 spec 5.1 spear does.

                Rejuvenating Sprint is the worst out of the three basic sprints. Classic rookie mistake.
                Stalker Jacket is bad in lethal zones. A player will ride into the aoe and then your mount is gone.
                Sacrificing survivability for clear speed gets you killed in lethal zones (not that you know anything about that).

                Any of the three non-artifact leather boots for the cooldown sprint are a good start. Pick what's cheapest.
                Cloth shoes are used in PvP. Most faction cape abilities stay the same at all tiers. Players would buy a low tier faction cape to save silver and then compensate the lower mana regen rate with cloth shoes.
                Scholar or Royal Sandals can be good because they are channeled abilities which are immune to purges.
                While every boot has a unique sprint, you rarely end up using them. There are lots of boots that see no play.

    What kind of medium-long term goals do people have in this game? Is it mostly just get infinitely more silver and fame? I'm selling fish but I don't know what to do with the silver. I've read equipment should be thought of as consumable, plus they don't even seem to change visually from tier to tier, so that kind of diminishes one of the goals I thought I had.

    • 7 months ago
      Anonymous

      Equipment does change visually with each tier. It's very noticeable at T8.
      The ultimate goal is finding a decent guild or group to play with. You can earn silver, PvP and grind everything to max level by yourself if you prefer playing solo Joining a guild or just having someone to duo with will give you a huge advantage. Playing solo outside of the Mists or Corrupted Dungeons is always risky.
      Once you got decent levels in everything (which should keep you busy for a while) it's all just spending your silver to have an advantage over other players. It's a PvP game afterall.

      Each weapon tree has one option at T3. This one is usually the best all-rounder starter weapon that's cheap and good for PvP and PvE.
      Battleaxe is probably the strongest option here. Spear, Light Crossbow, Wargloves are great too.
      Everything else has downsides like no mobility, bad at PvP or slow PvE clear.

      Pretty much, try them all and see what works best for you

    • 7 months ago

      I give you some general advice. Sorry for ESL.
      You choose your loadout based on what your trying to do in the game. Don't try to be an all-rounder. Other players will try to kill you in lethal zones so don't focus only on PvE.
      You don't survive ganks by making yourself tanky. You either escape or even better don't get caught in the first place. Fast mounts are better than tanky mounts. As a solo player your weapon NEEDS to have mobility. If you don't have that, the other players who do, will always catch up to you. There is not always an exit nearby. Cooldown reduction is the most useful stat/passive. Invisibility is just as important.

      Cleric Robe goes with almost everything (great to level up asap) but Assassin Jacket is much better at escaping ganks.
      Players will often dismount on you while you are doing PvE. Mobs are interrupting your mount-up channel. If you don't go for Assassin Jacket (invis drops pve aggro), have either Guardian Helmet or Cleric Robe (not both). Channeled abilities aren't interrupted while a shield is active.
      Don't use AOE spells that stay on the ground or can't be interrupted early. Players will run into them to put you in combat which despawns your mount, stops health regeneration and makes you unable to exit the zone.
      Faction capes are expensive. Nothing wrong with a basic cape for PvE until you got more silver.
      Always have a cheap Double Bladed Staff for backup on you. Great for when you are just roaming the map or waiting for chests to open.
      You can change skills while you are invisible (adds 5s cooldown, Assassin Jacket invis lasts 8s)
      Switching between consumables doesn't cause a 10s cooldown as long as the consumable slot wasn't previously empty. Bring T4 poisons for bosses.
      The three basic sprints cover the most ground without any downsides.

      You can always get the 3 day premium on a new character and use it to farm Mists in 4.1. Then transfer the silver to your main. It takes like an hour to get from character creation to T6 Reaver. You should really never play without premium.
      It beats everything you can do with your current character. Gathering starts making money at T6 but progress is slow because of learning points.
      Skip the yellowzone. You don't need an expensive set to start doing lethal Mists and the increased rewards are very worth it.

You have been playing for years and somehow still worry about silver and fame farming.
                The average player plays a full loot PvP game for the full loot PvP, not to avoid it. I get my gear refunded if I die during group content. Every decent guild does that.
                I'm okay with losing 2m per death for casual solo activities. A 8.0 equivalent set is enough to fight those 8.3 DBS gankers. That weapon deals no damage.

                For good reason. No other activity at that stage of the game makes more silver per hour and the more silver a new player has the faster they can jumpstart the game.

                The most silver you can earn solo on a silver/h basis is probably T6 hide gathering in some remote blackzone. Everything else relies on RNG (it would still result in far more silver than anything you can do in yellow zones).
                In lethal zones you want to get a jackpot and then go back to bank your loot. Even as a gatherer. You want to die with empty pockets and not lose hours of slow silver buildup.

                Wrong. Stop assuming you can just out-farm a t4 blue zone by skinning t6 mobs consistently, because you can't. I've tried for YEARS to beat my methods of silver and fame and nothing comes close.

                Skinning in a t4 zone is far more optimal than a t6 black or red zone.

                Static farming a t4 blue zone is far better for fame / hr than anything else a solo can consistently do.

                >I already realized farming is pointless without focus
                You already know the answer. Pretty much all your island activities is a net loss without premium.

                A jackpot is a lucky drop, but it's not consistent and you'll lose more than you earn being a solo in red and black zones.

                This game has a massive problem with frickers feeling peer pressure'd to be "hardcore" and not "wuss out" in safe zones, but they're just morons that don't realize they're not being efficient.

                Players from the same guild/alliance are usually in a party when they play in the blackzone and they spam ping your location on the map to hunt you. They enter the blackzone via their headquarters. Entering via a portal city un-binds your headquarter binding.
                Most guilds don't play in the redzone because of the lack of content and they don't earn Might&Favor there.
                Redzone is a lot more fun for solos and small groups of random players. You can compensate the reduced fame/loot with faction flagging.

              T8 gathering doesn't benefit from going higher for gather yield. For skinning it does more poison damage, that's it. He has around 120% gather yield where as a new player will have around 80% so a 40% difference at best.

              A lowbie player should just play a few weeks and get to t8. It's not hard and all that time gathering means they can afford the gear which isn't that expensive.

      >I already realized farming is pointless without focus
      You already know the answer. Pretty much all your island activities is a net loss without premium.

      The most silver you can earn solo on a silver/h basis is probably T6 hide gathering in some remote blackzone. Everything else relies on RNG (it would still result in far more silver than anything you can do in yellow zones).
      In lethal zones you want to get a jackpot and then go back to bank your loot. Even as a gatherer. You want to die with empty pockets and not lose hours of slow silver buildup.

      >blackzone
      You will be fricked by radar hackers and bot scanners that are in every entrance lol.

      Wdym by jackpot? Open world just has simple mobs.

        Loot and fame multipliers are better in lethal zones. T4 bluezones at best give T6 loot and a lot of worthless low tier crap. The odds of getting a good drop are very low.
        Players that seek advice on what to do to make silver usually don't have a 8.3 set or max spec to get your results.
        Autism around efficiency and numbers etc. I play video games to have fun.
        Since you are a solo player I would stick to Mists which has its own set of jackpots. Blackzones are for guilds. Scouting entrances is unfortunately part of the game.

    i played this game, and did thrive. f2p, did small time pve and ratting/2v2 in hellgates to get started, made decent money. left and came back when 1v1 corrupted dungeons came out and made hella money, had perma premium on 3 characters and still making millions on winning pvp. ended up leaving because it gets a little lonely, wanted to do more hellgates but hard to find people to play with that arent looking to zerg and grief, and my one friend on the game went schizo and blocked me. still love this game, i think if it had a popular franchise to steal content from it would be one of the main contenders

    Hey guys, hey Benji,
    my question is, is it worth playing this shit as a europoor? I get 120-130 ms ping. I know, if I play peak EU hours I should mostly run into EU players and therefore it should 'even out' but is it really true? I like mobas and as autistic as it sounds, the difference between even 25 and 50ms on League for example is noticable.

    • 7 months ago

      Even 200ms ping is okay for PvP. 120-130ms is perfectly fine. When you fight a laggy melee player, they appear to have extra range.

    What do you anti PvP gays even do in this game? You can't build a base. You can't interact with the environment. The PvE is basic and you have seen 90% of it on your first day. Each map is a generic zone without unique landmarks to discover. It's barely a sandbox game. Generic life skills that all work the same way (even fishing).

    I started playing about a week or two ago and have 30 hours. The games pvp is really fun coming from someone who's played a lot of League in the past. However, the actual gameplay loop just feels horrible.

    There just doesnt seem like there's a point to anything and the activities are repetitive from the start. Farm mists to do what farm more mists to farm more rifts easier to be able to kill people easier. Same for corrupted dungs. I just feel like there's no point nothing to look forward to but doing the same couple of things over and over again with little to no variety.

    I understand it's a sandbox game I've played RS and BDO in the past. However those games have enough variety in content to where if one thing gets stale just go to something else in the game. Whereas Albion just all feels the same. Thats not including life skills because Albions is boring as a sack of fricking rocks.

      Albion is about PvP. Most if not everything is designed to create more PvP. It wouldn't be a good idea to add content in the game to reduce PvP. Try different builds. Try different content. Get into group PvP.
      MMOs are usually expected to be grindy and repetitive. Not having needlessly complicated systems and pointless bloat in the game is a plus in my eyes.

    currently at expert learning point for skinning, waiting on LP with a month of premium.

    just hit 100 warlock.

    at current skinning levels i'm getting roughly 250k/hr(add 60k for babies), i do not know where to get or how to use journals.

    should i just keep skinning and grind out the exp while making a bit of cash or focus on leveling up combat fame?

      Gathering isn't a lot of silver at lower tiers. I wouldn't go out in gathering gear until T6. Just doing PvE will earn you more.
      Journals are on the marketplace but you will probably die long before you finish one. You should have had enough learning points to get T6 skinning if you bought premium. Don't waste them. Only spend learning points to get to the next gathering tier.
      Bring the tools wherever you go and level gathering passively while you wait for more learning points. You can also buy gathering tomes for fame.
      Get every armor mastery node to 100. (except Plate Armor)
      Focus on non-artifact equipment first (+0.2 item power for every level, artifact stuff only gives +0.1)
      Get one fame farm set all the way to 100 spec to earn fame credits.
      Then various solo weapons to lvl 75+ spec just to have something else to play.
      Maybe Priest/Nature to play healer.

      Island related fame is time-gated. You can make silver in so many ways but can't level up your carrots if you never plant them, premium or not.
      Every day you dont harvest carrots, is a day you missed out on carrot fame. Silver is never wasted on character progression. Plant those carrots even if you lose some silver. It's the only kind of fame you can't put a pricetag on (yet).
      I didn't watch the video because it's probably too long again. Make them shorter.

                Real talk how long has this fricker played this game and why would he frickin' trust ANYONE with stuff that can be griefed?

                60 mill ain't frickin' shit to streamers. Just make a shameless stream like Benji did and ask for silver. Dude got like 600 million in 8 hours afking in town.

                Imagine being this much of a moronic homosexual, what age were you touched?
                Swolebenji doesn't like Mogdone and I posted about Mogdone getting griefed so swolebenji would know about it and get some keks

                You have it wrong. Mogdone doesn't like SwoleBenji. Swole doesn't waste time worrying about people who don't like him. He's too big to really care, and he gave up his villain arc anyway to leave them alone since SBI protects them anyway like little children.

                He was complaining about [...]
                again just now

                Koko's been obsessed with Benji who has never even interacted with the guy. It's pure envy. Koko's just a weird dude. I saw his stream once where he was looking at a tweet, saw Benji's name, and his voice and face got all twisted over it. Like this Benji guy makes him seethe at the mere sight of his avatar it's quite hilarious that someone he's never spoken to once has such an effect on him.

                Yeah, I saw. He was blaming swolebenji for the grief. It was really because of infighting drama/mismanagement according to the 4 who did it.

                I don't think Benji gives a shit about Mogdone's rp guild, and he swore off any future villainy due to SBI's dickriding.

    Jannie delete this pls.
    I regret posting it, SwoleBenji is an entertaining guy and I wouldn't want him to get paranoid and ditch his current online identity and start over over getting doxxed. And to Ben I know your same-gayging ass is in here, keep the storys uploads coming, they're very entertaining between the albion guides. Honestly even just start a story or life advice channel, even if you gotta make shit up. You have a good voice for being a YouTuber.

    why blue over yellow zones? i'm farming regular mobs but i see green/blue moose all over the zone, large packs of moose untouched, 8.3 bots camping .3 mobs

    Less crowded. Why compete with others for 1 stack t5 resources? Have you skinned an impala? Like 1-2k silver with premium and t8 skinning with t8 ava tools and you can 1 shot them.

      blue is less crowded? blue has like 20-30 gatherers per zone and you bet i found impalas because they're the only stuff left alive unless i happen to run into a pack of fresh respawned moose.

        I work at a very shitty and scummy security job who's only good side is that it pays barely enough to get by and is piss easy enough to not give a shit. I spend pretty mucb my entire day sitting in my car doing nothing.

        But like I said, the actual company is shit and scummy. They advertise 18 am hour and then made excuses to not give me that after they hired me and I couldn't leave. I was also supposed to a site manager, but the day I started my new position they told me it was for a different lot, which they then didn't train me or send other people too so I worked alone and then they shut down the lot at the end of the week, and since they didn't need any more leads they threw me over to a different spot and completely forgot I existed or ever was given a promotion.

    As a former EVE player who tried Albion relatively recently, this game pleased me due to having EVE's main problem, effective impossibility to find fights due to some game mechanics being extremely effective sources of intelligence, solved. It's basically as if entire EVE consisted of W-space. I remember how CCP experimented and switched off local chat once and problem started being solved in EVE itself, but they b***hed out because botters and carebears were crying too much, frick them.

    However I do have a community to play with, and I fully agree that this game is worthless for solo player. Trying to make it solo only has any point if you aim at eventually joining competent enough guild.

      Is there solo player content like Mists or corrupted dungeons in Eve? I never played it but I keep hearing they are very similar games.

        Abyssals are like CDs but ironically without pvp (it just kills you if you don't clear it fast enough). There are also pvp abyssals but these only come around for events sometimes. I actually wish Eve would just copy CDs with invasions and make that the main Abyssal content.
        Eve also has wormholes/j-space that works like the portals in Albion and the mists/roads but it's not specifically designed for solos.
        While they sare a lot of sandbox features, nothing in the two games are ever 1 to 1 because Eve is a spaceship game (pods, impants, no real "cities") and also rides closer to where Ultima Online was due to it's age.
        So Thera is like Brecilien but not really, sov null is like black zones but no really, facwar is like facwar but not really, etc.

      benji's 20m fame farm video states he burns 14 million silver per hour with 8.4 satchel of insight and auto-respec turned on. a little over four times the amount, 4 runs, 4 hours, would equal 60 million silver burned. swollenbenjamin has stated that he can infinitely sustain this cost, as can anyway that has played a long time, and thus, did i dub 60 million as little more than 4 hours of 20m fame farming

      You are better off selling full journals. Islands got a rework last update. You no longer have dedicated house plots on your island. Every plot can and should be used for farming or raising animals until they rework laborers.
      No point in watching outdated guides.

        Bullshit. Laborers give 2x what you can sell the journal for, and they make you wealthier in everything you do daily. You shouldn't use farms at all unless you're blowing focus. Even then 10k focus with maxed crop watering is only 80 squares.

        Chat moderation. I've spoken to some players about it, and not only is it silly for it to be there at all for anything below literally illegal, but even if you're one of those bootlicker vermin who beg for corporate dick up their ass every day - even people like that should be able to recognize that getting punished for calling someone a windowlicker is over the line.
