I Spent 25,000 Silver on a Horse in Albion Online… Was It Worth It?! 🐎
I recently went live for about an hour playing Albion Online on Steam, and honestly, it was one of those chill but satisfying sessions.
If you’ve never played Albion Online, it’s a sandbox MMORPG where you gather, craft, trade, and fight, all in a player-driven economy. I spent most of the stream doing what I normally do: gathering resources and stacking up silver. It’s relaxing in its own way. There’s something oddly satisfying about chopping trees, mining ore, and watching your inventory fill up.
But the highlight of the stream? I finally bought a horse.
Yep. I dropped 25,000 silver on it. In Albion Online, silver is the main in-game currency, so that was a pretty big purchase for me at this stage. Mounts make traveling way faster and safer, especially when you’re hauling resources. Still, spending that much at once definitely made me pause for a second. Was it worth it? So far... I think so. The speed boost alone feels like a game-changer.
While grinding, I also had a video playing in the background. I started watching Asmongold reacting to a video about Highguard and why it failed. It got me thinking. Highguard apparently launched with just one main game mode, similar to how PUBG focused heavily on battle royale. The difference is, PUBG’s gameplay loop was compelling enough to keep players coming back. From what I’ve seen and heard, Highguard didn’t quite hit that mark.
In my opinion, if you’re going to launch with just one game mode, it needs to be incredibly polished and tested with the public. Gamers today have tons of options. If something doesn’t immediately grab them, they move on fast.
Overall, the stream was a mix of chill grinding, a big in-game purchase, and some interesting thoughts about game design and why some titles succeed while others struggle. Not bad for an hour in Albion Online.
