I have been follow Albion for some time myself. I will say this, what is appealing about the game to me, is as I get older The amount of game time I have gets smaller and smaller. A game like Albion requires a lot less time to be competitive, then a game like LIF I am assuming. This is being said without playing either, keep in mind. When I think of LiF I think of a better version of darkfall online and/or mortal online. that's just the way I see it.. as for features, both offer appealing features. To be honest they are to different animals. one is more SIM and other is more action/arena. It would be safe to say that albion will have a larger playerbase due to the fact that they are on more platforms. I am not sure how they are handling their server clusters, if its one big world or totally different servers with there own clusters. Basically what I am getting at is.. in albion you might play for 5 years and never come across everyone, but in LiF you will beable to make a name for yourself and you will come across the same people over and over again. I have a feeling many people will be playing both games. I myself will probably be playing both until I find which one is right for me. Games like LiF are my game of choice, but I quickly am reminded that real life duties don't allow me to compete like id like. Darkfall as fun as it was, was way to much of a grind for my available game time. I just hope bobik and team makes the grind minimal.. todays market wants to enjoy the features of a game not work hard before they have to do it.. you can say this is not true, but that just depends on how big you want your game. 50K subs? 100k subs? that's what you'll get with a grindy sim game. that's plenty of ppl don't get me wrong. but take a game like League of Legends which I know isn't an mmo.. but it has 0 grind. straight in to the action.. 12million + subscribers.. that speaks truth. anyway. sorry for the lazy typing, I don't feel like breaking this up in a more reader friendly structure.. enjoy the wall of text.
