Unfortunately, the European publisher got greedy and added more and more pay2win-mechanisms, which made the game absolutely unplayable if you didn't spend any RL money on it - up to a point where you'd spend more on the item shop than you would pay for any subscription-based MMO out there. Some of the monsters, their animations, the whole look and feel, everything was so blatantly copied straight from Blizzard's monstrosity, if you didn't actually play either one of those games, it was impossible to tell them apart by looking at screenshots and gameplay footage. Loved the graphics, the music, some of the more unique and cool playable races and how the whole thing was basically a really shameless, high-budget Russian WoW clone. I used to love that stupid game, believe it or not. Allods and I have a bit of a history with each other. Sometimes that's the way it works, you know - people call me, tell me they need somebody to write about a game and then I say no and they say okay, we're expecting your finished article next week. So when I got that phone call offering me a massive special on Allods, I didn't hesitate to refuse. However, believe it or not, even I have limits. If you've known me for a while, then you're aware of the fact that I'd sell my own mother - and all my siblings, aunts, uncles, their cats, dogs and whatever else I can find if the price is right. I know the full title of the game I'm referring to is Allods Online.
