Albion Online [Official Site], a pretty interesting MMO is releasing today with full Linux support and we will be livestreaming for the occasion.
Note: My key was personally purchased at the Epic level, with an upgrade to Legendary provided by Evolve PR. The Albion Online developer also provided our additional key for livestreaming.
Here's when you can jump in:
- 17th July, at 13:00 UTC: Legendary Founders and Legendary Starters
- 18th July, at 13:00 UTC: Epic Founders and Epic Starters
- 19th July, at 13:00 UTC: Veteran Founders and Veteran Starters
More info on how to get a Starter Pack and the timings are here. It's a buy to play game, with an entirely optional premium subscription which allows you to earn things a little quicker.
I have some really high hopes for this one, as I've enjoyed every moment I put into the Beta they had running. I just hope they continue to refine the experience. I feel it needs a lot more PvE content, as the game is built around PvP right now.
I will be making an official GOL guild, more info on that once it's actually made. You will probably be able to find out during the livestreams.
We still start a livestream at 1PM UTC/2PM BST and then for tonight's Ballistic Monday livestream, it will be the game we end on after some Team Fortress 2. Our Twitch page is here.

I wouldn't really buy this game tbh. It doesn't really look good at all (not just graphics, but gameplay/story wise).
Here is a part where streamers talked about it (I trust their opinion, that's why I want you guys check it out):

I don't care what they have to say ;P
Graphics are fine. To the hell with a story. This game is a player driven Sandbox-MMO. Which means YOU can write your own story! IMHO way better then running forward and back again to an exclamation mark bearer. Which is the best news since WoW has messed up the whole MMO genre.

Sure, if you are looking for an MMO with great graphics and handcrafted landscapes that look awesome then this is not the game for you. This is not a game I'd play to get a good story, no. These things are not what the game is trying to be, it's a sandbox MMO.

It sounds like the guys in the video have some kind of expectations from an MMO for them to like it, but I can't find where in the video they actually say what they want. Since you trust their opinion, I guess you know what they are looking for in a game and that you have about the same taste in games that they have?
Anyway, I love that we have a game like this on Linux and I am going to continue playing the game for as long as I enjoy it, which I believe is going to be many many hours.
