Allods Online Forum

Is this exactly like the RU version? As in being a copy-paste of the F2P server with brand new accounts?

Does that mean that we will be able to play interserver skirmishes with the russians, like they already do?

Just wondering if a sub-server version will ever be available on Steam?

You can access both servers of Allods Online with Steam (New Frontier and Smugglers Paradise):

Quoted from "Mhuldoon"

First of all, the servers will not be copied - they are the actual servers.

As for account-linking, we did everything we could to encourage account linking for EU (and made it clear we'd be pushing for it when Steam was initially announced) - but in the end, it was impossible due to the source. This means that yes, existing accounts can't be linked, though you can still avail of almost all of the features even while playing via the standard client.

Damn......well that was my LAST hope for Allods.

Farewell game I thought I'd never leave.

I appreciate the last 5 years of time I've had here and I can't thank being a part of this community enough. Especially leading me to the discovery of my real life wife.

Good luck everyone and goodbye.

Nevermind, read the above incorrectly.

As I never played through Steam, I don't understand how not being able to link your account is so frustrating. That's a genuine question, not a troll or something.

From what I understand, players from my.com Gamecenter and players from Steam will be able to play together on New Frontier and Smugglers Paradise, some of them will enter the game with Steam, other (older players) with their my.com account.

sounds complicated somehow O.o but do i get it right this while thingi didnt change anything right? we keep our server and there wont be a new server and we only got a steam sticker on it so ppl may find the game easier while looking for even more ueless games in their steam collecttion?

Any reason why allods on steam only counts the play time of the my.com launcher? ( when you enter the game it stops counting)

and if you add the non steam version it adds play time to the allods online RU steam version.

Perhaps I am reading this wrong?

There are now 2 servers.
A My.com server and a Steam server.
People that play on My.com cannot have their character's transferred over to the Steam server and therefore have lost all their progress for the last 0-6.5 years of playtime.

However, everyone is going to want to play on Steam, because Steam is THE game engine, so the My.com server will just continue declining in population and then die.

Correct me if I read this wrong.

Oh, well I definitely read that wrong.
I suppose the wording was strange...when it said linking of accounts...I'm assumed there was 2 new servers (1 f2p and 1 p2p on steam).

Glad I was wrong!

Hello

@Groot : No, New Frontier and Smugglers Paradise are both accessible through my.com Game Center, and Steam Game center.
Everyone can play together on our good old servers.

Old players will have to use the my.com game center and their my.com account
New players can download Allods from Steam Game Center, and play Allods Online with old players.

I just added Allods client manually to Steam (I chose AOGame.exe in my bin folder) and launched Allods from Steam, it seems to work. I'm testing now, I'll try to get more information tonight, or maybe more experienced players with Steam will be able to explain how everything works now that Allods has been added to Steam.

Edit : Muldhoon posted faster than me .

You're wrong in a sense that you expect too much from Steam. Many players didn't join the P2P server because they've already invested a significant amount of their time and money on the F2P server - even less players are likely to do it for a Steam server where you have to pay for your boutique items all over again.

Being on Steam for a while now, I'd have no idea of how to look for Allods Online if I wasn't specifically looking for it - as it's not on the featured site, popular games or even new releases. That being said I'd be happy if it worked out well, I just don't see how.

First I would like to congratulate the team for making this possible.

As the Mhuldoon said "we have additional advertising and a platform for more discussions, art & videos, the chat / overlay if you like to keep in touch with people outside of the game / steam friends, and more new players" - this is very good.

However, In my opinion, the joint has the positive side and the frustrating side that I see the negative.

As you said, the positive side is that It will Attract more players and we can play together on the same server - this is very good.

The frustrating thing is that we can not appreciate the prices of Steam that are more attractive (at least in our currency) and the form of payments to us, are more affordable.

To have a base, the collector's package is on sale on Steam and the Steam price is 50% lower than the price paid by buying directly from the site of my.com (price based on our currency - Brazil).

But if we can not tie our my.com account with Steam account, we can not appreciate the prices and payment methods - That's really discouraging.

We expected that this option was available.

I hope we have new players, but I am really disappointed with this second part.

It was a great achievement to be part of Steam and can not let this achievement be incomplete — That's my opinion on the case.


Thank you

I think ... you're seeing this wrong. (This is what I originally thought, however, I have recently been told differently...unless they're wrong.)

If you have a character(s) you do not have to do anything differently, it's already on the steam server as there are not 2 servers.
So, you don't have to rebuy any of the CS items you have already acquired.
Nor do you have to restart in any way...

(Again, this is what I have just been reassured by Mhuldoon/Gladia's explanations [unless I misinterpreted them...AGAIN].)
