Developed by the Astrum Nival development team drawing on over a decade’s worth of experience on online development and a USD$12 million budget, Allods Online looks to set a new standard in the quality of free to play MMORPG. Set on the remains of the fantasy planet of Sarnaut, which exploded during its history, the six surviving races are scattered across archipelagos of floating islands known as allods. The games 1,500 varied quests at release unravel the mysteries of the planet’s past and intrigue, covering thousands of years of in-game history. By picking their allegiance from one of the 2 opposing factions, the League and the Empire, players can select from one of the 28 classes. With the best of traditional ground-based MMORPG gameplay that players expect from an AAA MMORPG, Allods Online raises the bar by giving high level players the Astral space, a dynamic environment ripe for exploration and ship based combat and voyages of discovery in their Astral battleships.
