Comrad,
U are not alone. Allods has great potential. All the mmos u listed u played in i know ppl would love to join Allods Pay to Play but are scared of the Pop. In my opinion Allods is far better than all of those MMogames u listed and ist thanks to Missmanagement of russian mycom / Allods Team that the Pop was destroyed...
Steam advertsing will come after 7.0 for some reasons if ever

. I wouldnt give a dolar for that anyway.
I Play Rift currently and i miss a lot about Allods. The grafic, main City raids, the combat System and PvP in Allods. To my top gaming times i critized Allods weapons are Kind of same in skin and there is to less varity in gear. Well if you Google u see weapons u cant even find in Allods and NpC weapon Skins are awesome and u cant find them in game as well
....BUT...in comparison to Rift weapon, Inis, Raids and gear Allods is a masterpiece.
Therefore the Pop in Rift is great. U find advertisments of Rift on web sometimes. Allods never... Allods is so great that there never ieven was a need to come up with Things like skyforge to waste xD.
why Allods has so less Pop.... Ist still the best MMO out there ...
