Ah, rogues. Depending on who you ask, they're either the class of choice for the smart and cunning or a complete pain in the backside. But there's no denying that within the realm of gaming, the classic rogueish activities of criminality and skullduggery are great fun. And Albion Online agrees, which is why the new Rogue Frontier update lets you live out your skulking fantasies.
The main feature of Rogue Frontier is the introduction of a new faction, the Smugglers. Their Smugglers Dens offer solo and small-scale players the chance to establish a base of operations in the Outlands, enabling them to evade their more powerfully-armed adversaries.
Additionally, the Smuggler's Network is a new market system in the Outlands that encourages you to smuggle your ill-gotten gains to this faction for enhanced rewards. New Smuggler activities further enhance the opportunities for skullduggery among aspiring ne'er-do-wells.
There's also plenty for braver, front-facing players. The new Bank overview system helps you track your loot across storage locations, while three new Crystal weapons and a journal category to track encountered creatures provide additional content. The Rogue Frontier update truly has something for everyone.
Given the focus on constant conflict in survival MMOs like Albion Online, it's refreshing and highly welcome that they're offering more for players who prefer to avoid direct conflict. The risk and reward element here is equally exciting; after all, evading those who aim to steal your ill-gotten gains for a bigger payday can be as thrilling as a direct assault on monsters.
