«Undead Challenge» and Referral Season in Albion Online

The summer months pass, and the employees of Sandbox Interactive, as usual, present new activities in the popular MMORPG Albion Online. Nothing unexpected here: another season begins with rewards for inviting friends, and a challenge related to the undead race starts. The main prizes this time are represented solely by mounts—you can unlock a Ghostly Direboar or a knightly tournament horse in heraldic trappings. Not to mention other rewards awaiting the players.

The game has just received an expansion called «Abyssal Depths». In it, you need to assemble a team and venture into dungeons to defeat monsters and obtain ancient treasures. The abyss also features destructible areas for PvP battles, the Antiquarian's Lair for purchasing useful expedition items, and an updated arsenal in the form of crystal hammer and staff. Matching the expansion is a thematic challenge available until August 1. In it, you need to earn special points to spend on rewards—an avatar frame, a skull portrait, and a mount in the form of a Ghostly Direboar. The beast not only looks fearsome but can also make its rider temporarily invisible to enemies.

And what awaits gamers who invite friends? First, you can earn hundreds of thousands of fame points. Second, you'll receive a magnificent tournament horse. Essentially, it's just a skin for a regular mount, so it has no special properties beyond aesthetics. But that's actually good: you can cover up a useful but unsightly animal—like that ghostly boar—with a beautiful skin. To receive the main bonus, your friend must use the referral link, create an account in the MMORPG, and pay for a month of premium.
