Ah, rogues. Depending on who you ask, they're either the class of choice for the smart and cunning or a complete pain in the backside. But there's no denying that within the realm of gaming, the classic rogueish activities of criminality and skullduggery are great fun. And Albion Online agrees, which is why the new Rogue Frontier update lets you live out your skulking fantasies to the fullest.

The heart of the Rogue Frontier update is the introduction of the Smugglers faction. Their Smugglers Dens provide an exciting opportunity for solo and small-scale players to establish a base of operations in the Outlands. This empowers you to evade larger, more powerful adversaries, adding a thrilling layer of strategy to your gameplay.

Additionally, the Smuggler's Network introduces a new Outlands market system that encourages you to sneak your ill-gotten goods to the Smugglers for enhanced rewards. Engaging in new Smuggler activities further expands the opportunities for skullduggery, making it an ideal update for aspiring ne'er do wells.

There's also plenty for those who prefer a more direct approach. The new Bank overview system helps you track your loot across different storage locations, while three new Crystal weapons and a journal category for tracking encountered creatures add depth to your adventures. The Rogue Frontier update truly offers something for everyone.

Given the focus on constant conflict in survival MMOs like Albion Online, it's refreshing to see more options for players who want to actively avoid direct confrontations. The risk and reward element here is exhilarating; trying to evade those who'd risk everything for your ill-gotten gains is as pulse-pounding as any head-on assault against monsters.
