A Ton of New Content and Features
Another thing that was added with the new update is that player inventories now have adjustable icon sizes. There is also a new collapsible equipment display as well as new sorting options.
A lot of older MMORPGs are starting to put out more engaging content and updates following the launch of Amazon Games' Throne and Liberty. A lot of competitors are looking to expand their games to attract more players.
Albion Online has been one of the more consistently popular MMORPGs for a few years now. The game still has a strong playerbase. It has been competing with World of Warcraft as one of the staple games in the genre.
The new Horizons update is a testament to the developers' commitment to giving their players more reasons to stay and newcomers to start playing. The latest patch tries to make the game a lot more accessible for new players to get into, according to Technopedia.
