Allods Online

[Ins]

Free to play game recently hit open beta (as good as release you get to keep your characters)

It's alot like WoW except, well it's different heh. Alot of money got spent on making it when it got released in Russia, after it's success it got translated and there's now a US and Euro server.

They'll make their money via the cash shop, although everything that can be bought from the cash shop can be obtained in game, it just takes ages to get it.

It has an amazing amount of content for a F2P game, and the instances that i've done with afew friends are challenging at the level they are designed for. The 1st one is level 9-10 which is about 6 hours of playing.

It's a nice filler to pass time, give it a try

Edit- Oh yeah at endgame you actually buy a ship and fly it through the astral to find raids / ship vs ship pvp. Each person has to do a job onboard or you die a horrible death, everything is manual.

Have they fixed the cash shop nonsense that made everyone steaming mad and give up on this?

As in the death penalty nonsense that you have to purchase items in the cash shop to circumvent.

Closed Beta was fun but the Open isn't
