Allods Online European launch today

By Robert Purchese Published 11 May, 2011

An attractive free MMO worth a look.

After a year of intense testing, comely free MMO Allods Online has today launched across Europe.

Coinciding with launch is the arrival of update Volume 4: Astral Odyssey. Volume 4 raises the level-cap, opens two high-level zones, offers six new Allods and bumps up the number of daily events. There's loads of new items and equipment, too.

Astral Odyssey also sees to it that those who complete the starter area content also now get a starter pack. Similar bonuses are offered incrementally right the way up to level 30.

Eurogamer reviewed Allods Online more than a year ago, turning up a 6/10. But for an MMO, a year's worth of improvements can prove significant. How much Allods Online has improved we'll have to wait and see.

    Tried it and it just felt so cheesy how the characters move and float around so I never really left the starting area before uninstalling it.

    I dunno, it doesn't look any cheesier than the new shit they've added to Aion lately.

  • bemaniac #3 1 year ago

    I did play aion and got further with it than this but yeah agree aion even when i got back in for a week free was pretty bland
    Only games I got far in due to quality were galaxies and age of conan and wow but I have tried every single commercial mmo and a few free ones for size. Best of all so far has been rift it is magical :)
