Linking account to Steam

[salad fork]

When will we be able to link our existing accounts to Steam?

Due to how Steam works, you will not be able to do so. This is the same issue with Black Desert Online and other similar games that got brought over to Steam. It's unfortunately out of the Albion teams hands..

You can link the native client to steam as a non-steam game though, just wouldn't be able to get steam achievements and such.

What? It's totally in their hands. They just decided against it since monthly subscribers moving over to Steam would mean making less money off those subscribers (assuming they buy with the Steam interface).

Steam works just fine with or without account integration when logging into existing accounts in various games.

/\ This. And lots of other games have done this.

They won't allow it because people find ways to sell accounts, if they could be re-registered on Steam. FFS they don't even let you change your account e-mail to prevent that, if you lose access to your e-mail, good luck.

ppl are review bombing the game by buying the game then sitting afk for 10 min in starting zone, then log out, review the game and then proceed to refund the game. it makes me sick.

Ooooh, good idea.

Not that it matters. They are censoring reviews anyways.

But at least you can do that, if you a new player and use the standalone client for a 7 days trial:

Q: If I play the trial via the regular client, can I buy the game on Steam and continue playing on the same account I used during the trial?
A: Yes, you can. Once your trial period ends (or during your trial period), purchase the game on Steam and download it. When launching the game, you will be given the opportunity to link a Trial account with Steam.
