Allods Online

I wasn't able to find any info about this game on MMORPG.COM and I thought it'd be cool if you guys could dig up some info on it. It's a Russian-developed MMO that's coming out next year. Doesn't look too revolutionary, but kinda cool-looking none-the-less

I wait this project too. This is online-continuation of such old games as Rage of Mages I – II (Allods I and II in Russia) and Evil Islands (series of Allods too). It is the first online project of company Nival, but developers have made many good games in the past:

Rage of Mages I - II;
Evil Islands;
Etherlords I-II;
Blitzkrieg I-II;
Silent Storm;
Heroes of Might and Magic V (+ addons)
It will be interesting to look at their new game.

I think it's their first online game they've developed, but I think they have experience running several other MMOs in Russia, so I imagine they know what they're doing pretty well. Thanks for the extra info!

No problem, ask, if there are questions. I will try to answer, but I not so well know English. (( Here there are more screenshots, than on an official site (for example last screenshots of fights by the astral ships): http://www.ag.ru/screenshots/allody_online

Looks like WoW for Russians.  They'll probably need an English language version of the game, (or at least the website!) to get listed here.

Bottminger: Thanks for the link to the screenshots

grimfall: Yeah, I found some info saying they're doing multiple languages later next year, but it's pretty surprising they don't have an english version of the site yet.

Yes, in game a lot of Russian style: architecture, history, the literature, fairy tales (I do not think, that those who is not familiar with Russian culture will appreciate all nuances) … Developers and do not deny, that were guided in the graphic style by WOW though it is clear, that the f2p-project cannot compete to the leader of the MMORPG-market.
There was a short information, that game is planned in English, French, Italian, Spanish, German languages und that negotiations with the Asian partners are carried on, but no details yet existing. I think, that the English site will appear after there will be a full information in Russian. Now is 1 race and not all classes are not announce. The admission on the closed beta-test today has begun, probably by its results there will be little changes in game.

Thanks for the heads up.

Now that they have an English-language publisher, we'll look at getting them listed.
