Allods EU - MMO

Intriguing... But without money behind them I can see it just being a bad clone of WoW, whereas i'd rather just pay for a better game.
 
To pick a few points out from his blog.

Edit* and in response to the people saying theres no money behind it, its wildly succesful in russia and has a great development team who have basically set themselves apart from the world, there are options ingame for cash benefits but again very different from the normal cash systems you find today with no imbalances being possible.

Open World – It’s been spoken about many times as being a blending of Stranglethorn Vale and Hillsbrad on a PvP WoW server back in the old days. You’ll be questing in a zone together with the opposite faction and it’s inevitable that you’ll end up fighting each other.

DAOC/WAR style Objective Based -Players fight each other for special points in the Holy Land. I wish I knew more about this.

Arenas – Think STV’s Arena.

Goblin Ball – a mini-game type event.

Astral Ship Combat – Worthy of an entire article or two explaining it. Essentially you get enormous ships that you work towards in the end-game. They take 5 or 6 people working together to pilot them in the Astral area. You can play like a pirate and attack enemy ships or you can simply use your ship to explore for treasure. There’s a lot to it and I recommend the various articles.

Signed up for and downloaded the US beta by mistake :o Will grab the EU client later tonight but from the limited time I played I'd say its got a lot of potential. Really nice graphics, fun gameplay, varied classes, interesting setting - yes it is quite generic but then its free and offers the same as most pay-to-play mmorgps out there, in fact I'd say its better than most. Well worth giving it a go.

Anyone know how long Closed Beta 2 will be? I read that it was until next Tuesday but not sure. Also whether it'll go into Closed Beta 3, or open beta, or just straight to live.

How did you manage that! :eek:
 
I just downloaded the client at work at nearly 10MB/sec (yep 10 Megabytes!) ready for when I finish my string of night shifts. God bless speedy work Internet. :D

I have no email yet to confirm my beta registration, so I assume I will be able to just log in fine and create my character when I install the client?

If you made an account and entered the key, then yes you can just install client, log in and play.
 
usually steer clear of free mmo's but this looks awesome, maybe getting carried away ;-)
 
seems pretty cool so far, but the FOV is rather small.. I'd prefer it if the camera could zoom out.

Then again, it probably can.. just not with a laptop trackpad :p
