Summer Alpha Under Way For Albion Online
Berlin, Germany - 29 th of June, 2015 - After much anticipation, Sandbox Interactive, developers of Albion Online, have opened their servers for the start of the Summer Alpha today at 12:00pm CEST (06:00am EDT), with all Legendary Founders being able to access and play the game.
Since the Winter Alpha in January and February, a lot of things in Albion Online have been added or improved. Some highlights include:
Hellgates: enter hell dungeons and engage in tense PvE fights against the demons of hell as well as 5vs5 PvP battles
Missions & Factions: players can now do combat, crafting, gathering and transport missions for 4 of Albions factions in order to receive Silver and buy special faction gear
Anti-Zerg measures: groups larger than 5 now appear on the game’s minimap for easier recognition, new spells dealing higher damage the more targets are hit, hellgates only allow groups of 5 to enter a hell dungeon, etc.
For a full overview of all changes and new features for this Summer Alpha, Founder & CEO Stefan “Bercilak” Wiezorek has published a list in the Albion Online forum: https://forum.albiononline.com/index.php/Thread/11827-Changelog-since-Winter-Alpha/?postID=134774#post134774
Interested players can join the Summer Alpha immediately by buying a Legendary Founder’s pack on the redesigned Albion Online website. Besides, people with an Epic Founder’s pack will also be granted access from Tuesday, 30th of June, 12:00pm CEST (06:00am New York time): https://albiononline.com/en/founderpacks#pricing

Albion Online Silver unnecessarily high?
A fix to that could be forcing the player to always buy at-least 1silver per of the stack at a time. So maby you will be getting 2-5 of the resource for your 1 Albion Online silver instead of 1.

I would suggest modifying the current Albion Gold exchange system
Now, the reworked yellow and red zones would not interact well with territory ownership due to the crime and reputation system.

I suggested that instead of making albion gear able to be looted
Think of a match making system where you could either queue as a group or as a solo. Your matched against another team w/ people based upon a mean-average of items totals (So you're not queuing as a T4.2 going against T6.3s)

Please Fix Albion Online War camps in this new beta test
Now imagine if they had to pay 15-30 million a day. I think they would rather fight the GvGs. On the other side 1-2 million Albion Online Silver is not a lot to ask a guild to pay in the current economy.
