Roswalcitox, tengo que confesarte algo... y es que Albion Online's gameplay centres itself around a classless system, in which the equipment a player chooses to wear defines their abilities and the way they can play. Players can go out and do activities in Albion's world in order to gain "Fame," similar to "experience" in other MMORPGs. Through this Fame players can get access to other weapon and armour types, with stronger equipment requiring more Fame to use. Stronger gear can be used as players progress throughout the game. The game has a large open-world map that players can travel through. Different PVP zones offer different levels of risk and reward, including Yellow, Red, and Black zones; Red and Black zones featuring full loot drop upon death.

The game has a fully player driven economy. All equipment and items are made by other players. The game offers both PVE and PVP experience.
