picked this one up finally, taking a look around. so far so good, but still refuse to pay money for a free game. I won't spend a lot of time with this one, but enough to give it a good look over. I do like the artwork, and the look/feel is comfortable and familiar enough. .-= Kattrinsaa´s last blog ..3.3.3 is live =-.

Glad you discovered Allods Online. The universe of Allods is very rich, stemming from earlier single player Allods titles. I enjoyed them all and I applaud Russian developers for finally making the Allods MMO.

P.S.: I am Russian, so I guess I am biased :P But I liked what I saw in the beta. A truly worthy title.

Oh you ended up trying it out, very cool :D There is something about the game that really draws you in. Not sure how it will be high end but for now it’s really a lot of fun! Glad to see you trying it out. You big bad cheater ;)

About once a week, when I get tired of gruesomely handing out death in bear/kitty form and dealing with undead and spiders and undead spiders, I take a vacation in Hello Kitty Online. It’s cute, it’s sunny, and I don’t have to worry about rounding a corner into a nest of undead spiders. And because sometimes I just want to play something that’s cute for cute’s sake.

Hahahahaah

awesome. :D

I still haven’t finished Dragon Age…. WoW when I play it is a very demanding mistress… and my shammie alt is rocking it!

Glad you are having some fun out there…

For the most Cute Horde, try Gibberlings Animist — three furry fangy deathmachines PLUS A SQUIRREL.

It’s a cute game, very well made considering its newness and freeness. Definitely a good side-game. Not something I’d quit WoW for, but fun!

Actually, I do like the fantasy stuff even though I would say Empire side is where I will probably roll a character or 2 to start. I like the look of the game but I haven’t downloaded it yet. I guess my main point was not that the game won’t be cool, it could be a better game than WoW in a lot of ways and it may attract a particular set of players for the long haul. Heck, I might be one of ‘em. I was really referring to the masses. I’ve got the end of “Pirates of Silicon Valley” rolling around in my head. I keep seeing the part where Jobs is telling Gates how much worse Windows is than Macintosh and Gates replies “yeah, but it doesn’t matter Steve, it doesn’t matter.” I think that it doesn’t matter how good a game is or how much better a game is than WoW. WoW is bigger than the MMO market itself. A lot, probably not a majority of WoW subscribers (not necessarily players, but accounts where people don’t miss the $15 a month and log on for an hour or so a week. I have a lot of friends like that), but a significant number of people are not gamers, are not looking for anything else, but mess around with WoW a little bit because it really is that popular. Why did “Harry Potter” become what it did when there were a ton of other competing titles and books out there with similar themes? It created the “if you liked Harry Potter then check this out” market and that’s where I think Allods is in the MMO market. WoW just took off and is now firmly established and has the financial base to maintain it’s position. You can make a product that appeals to people who like WoW and be successful, but not dominant. To really compete with WoW, a game would have to be in a different arena completely. If Madden were to make an NFL MMO for example, my friends that play WoW an hour a week would be gone in a flash.

Aye, the Empire side has a very nice steampunk edge to it. It certainly has the same quality of art direction, but it has a different feel to it because of the setting. Plus, there's the Arisen, a curious tech-based undead race with long memory and plenty of grudges to nurture. Gibberlings are awesome, but the Arisen have that cool factor that the WoW Forsaken only wish they had. .-= Tesh´s last blog ..Home Town Pride =-.

Just play the Empire side if High Fantasy isn’t your deal. It’s a bit more steampunk than Tolken, IMO.
