Albion Online: a low-budget ESO?

Just stumbled into this. I have to post it here, just because of the interesting amount of similarities. For example:

"There are no classes in Albion Online. You class is determined by the items you are wearing!"
"Want to become the Mage Knight in Cloth Armor wielding Sword & Shield? In Albion Online this is possible!"
And best of all:
"Every player in Albion Online plays on one master server. There is only one huge game world."

Anyone else think that this game is trying to be a low-budget ESO? They're even coming into beta soon, with release planned for Q3 2013! Awfully convenient.

It looks more like an online torchlight clone than a low-budget ESO. Or a cross between torchlight and Runescape.

Erm. No.

Albion is clearly Sandbox, PvP and crafting oriented MMO.

We are not going to see complex dungeons or sophisticated Raids in Albion or Large Scale three-faction combat.
Other than the fact that they are both MMO, I really dont see any other similarities.

I am going to file this as "a streched attempt to promote another MMO"
