Allods Online

[DragonFire]

Hello everyone I was browsing the net looking for a good MMORPG and I found a Russian mmorpg set to come out in the US and Europe very soon the games name is Allods Online from what I can tell it looks like a mix of World of Warcraft and Runes Of Magic
with a little twist one of the games most interesting features is the "Astral" sort of like space but more dare I say original? Players can buy ships to explore this "Astral" I will say the races are less then original but they put a bit of a spin on it in my personal opinion. This game looks like my kinda game cant wait for it to come out

When it shows that big icy bad guy fighting it was the exact moves as leonidas from a scene in 300.

I don't have much faith in Funcom. Plus no classes is sorta lame also Allods is gonna be F2P. Not to mention The Secret World is Sci Fi Allods is Fantasy you cant really compare the two its like trying to compare Lord Of The Rings with StarTrek. Also it looks like a rip off of FallenEarth to me.Sure it might have better graphics but graphics are not everything example:Mario for the NES is still fun regardless of its graphics from 1985.(The small cuddly things are "Gibberlings" you play 3 at once due to there size. verily original if you ask me.)

[Driocku]

no classes isn't lame gives the players freedom instead of making them follow preset paths

[DragonFire]

Its not so much the classes as it is the levels ever played DarkFall it has a similar system I mean no levels in a MMO really :huh: …. This game will not survive in my opinion....but truthfully the game isnt set to come out for sometime so I dont see the relevancy of this conversation we dont know enough about the game to say really.

Back to the game at hand I found a few gameplay vids.

I would say that the game does have some interesting features, but in my eyes it's still another asian shit game.
To early to say.

I'm playing the 3rd CBT for this game and am starting to get addicted :D

This game is very good so far, the only downfall I see so far is the combat is fairly slow. Also, not so much a downfall as is an annoyance is the lack of an auto attack. However the classes are unique even though the archetypes are the same and some of the races are very different from the usual.

In the start of the game the whole sequence for each faction is very cool and interactive. Although a lot of the features are the same as WoW and their item rarity system is the exact same this game is turning out to be pretty darn awesome.

At the moment it is day 2 of the CBT and I am a lvl 9 Orc Reaver (Paladin)
