as for fairness & balance: again, this game is NOT about fairness & balance but the domination of the weak, but as it seems some players still wish for "fairplay" the subscriptionserver was introduced to make all these happy (which i think was a great move as it should make ALL happy)
realizing whre i could be now regarding items runes etc,i am already "traumatized" by the fact i started this game faaar too late
(exchangerate at NPC was 1:1 once....! farming ~1,100,000 gold before this was introduced would have resulted in full 13's)
It doesn't have to be only possible to get gear in order for a game to be fair and balanced. All of the cash shop items used in Allods now could actually remain in the game and still the game could be more balanced and fair, if only the items were actually obtainable from raids, astral etc. Then it would be possible for everyone to obtain it within a reasonable time without having to pay real money. Even with a (MUCH) lower gold to bc ratio it could be more balanced and fair.so this is not a question of paymentoptions but rather a question of gamemechanics in general
we already have found out some players feel overchallenged by gearing up + gaining items for improvement so for these its more comfortable if there is only gear to improve (-> "carefree plug and play")
then only skill matters, not the amount of "work" invested in farming etc
My point! The current situation on the F2P is unfortunately like this. I'm glad we're on the same pageas for fairness & balance: again, this game is NOT about fairness & balance but the domination of the weak, but as it seems some players still wish for "fairplay" the subscriptionserver was introduced to make all these happy (which i think was a great move as it should make ALL happy)
First of all AOP you have no idea what are you even talking about because u never tried it...in the same run you should mention that in these "versions" random bans are issued quite fast sometimesThere's a reason why some versions of Allods which probably shouldn't be mentioned on here forums are so popular and people are willing to spend fairly decent amount of money on it despite how easy it is to get those things.
and other this the server connected to the development-team and a well going company which has a secure future, p-servers do not
i dont see the point of promoting private servers stating its "affordable for everyone" to get "full cs"
if everyone can get everything, there is no longer any point in competition as all are equal, no need to fight then, it will be become as boring as possible, a pure skill/luck duell
also, what do you pay for on private server then? for beeing equal with everyone? in the end its something like "buy to play then" but without having anything in your hands... a questionable deal
if i pay i want to actually get something for my $ at least, even if its only some virtual advantage...

Part of the reasons p2p isnt getting any decent playerbase is also a fault of those "versions" since they provide exactly the middle ground of what most of the players who played/play Allods want. Nothing is overpriced and actually achievable with smaller time span compared to the f2p server so u can "farm" for your stuff if you want to have some kind advantage over somebody who doesent yet the pvp is basically the same and balanced as p2p one. No need to farm 100 years for lvl 10 runes, quite balanced pvp comparable to p2p server (class nerfs/boosts and game updates on weekly bases), p2p population problems that actually dont appear to be an issue on those "versions"
i will never understand how these things get so many viewers, its the ultimate form of boredom, its always the same, watching water cooking is more excitingI suppose the over 500k-ish viewers on Twitch alone in CSGO/LoL/DoTA major tournaments are only there because they feel the need to be bored
actually i spend something that is even more valuable than money, my timeyou stated several times that you're entirely free to play. So what does it matter what you want for your money, if you're not going to spend it
<snip> The point of the games are because everything is the same except the players skill. If there was no such thing as skill in life we would not have all these technological advancements. We would not even have Allods if a team did not have the skill to design and develop the game. Please go get checked out at the doctors. I am really concerned for your mental health.i will never understand how these things get so many viewers, its the ultimate form of boredom, its always the same, watching water cooking is more excitingI suppose the over 500k-ish viewers on Twitch alone in CSGO/LoL/DoTA major tournaments are only there because they feel the need to be bored

You should go to the hospital and check your head, you may be suffering from stupidity. The point of the games are because everything is the same except the players skill.

c) Private servers get shut down eventually. Reminds me of the outcry over Blizzards relatively recent closing of the largest private server ever known to WoW - and I simply had to ask myself "Why was anyone even surprised?" They detract population from the official game/servers (not something any company would stomach eternally, especially with declining player-figures) and very few (if any) would ever be fully happy with them under any circumstances when it comes to certain business models. Sure, you can forge your own slice of [insert game here] with a private server, but it is never safe. Even if they were, I'd never use them as I feel it's somewhat pointless to play games away from the original source, but that's just me.

they're interested in something that the company no longer offers,
thus not really subtracting from the profits.
