Allods Online Forum

Greetings. I've noticed that there's A LOT of posts across time over here about population of P2P or what the server is like as a whole... I've been playing on and off on it for the last year and a half, and I can tell you or confirm to you several things (with the disclaimer that they are PERSONAL opinions from MY experience on it, which I nonetheless think you will find interesting):

- I've come to love this server, I would never go back to F2P (the restrictions that cripple F2P are virtually non-existent over here on P2P and I would encourage ANY new player to go to this server in order to not ruin their experience of the game as a whole)
- the server has at least 3 active guilds that I always see around on League side and one active one on Imp side, with players joining on a regular basis (YES, we have people!)
- I have at least 3 apprentices... but they're people with active lives, so they mostly come on during weekends
- most players that I've met on P2P are Europeans, so we play on the EU timezones, which will affect the population YOU see when you login depending where you're from (the guild has 0 members online at 6 in the morning for me in Eastern Europe, for instance, but over 30-40 when it's busy) and the guild is 150/150
- I've noticed subscription payers are people who have money, but not so much time because their lives are busy, yet not SO much money they're willing to throw in a game just to eliminate frustration temporarily, therefore they're the type to come online mostly during weekends (we DO have a few try-hards that come online EVERYDAY ALL DAY though even on P2P)
- since the last time I played half a year ago, and with the uproar of 9.1 the population has spiked a lot... there's actually stuff being sold in the AH now... several people regularly in Novograd, world chat announcements every now and then, guilds that are willing to cooperate, PvP in Astral... it's growing, it's good
- we do raids, we do PvP (though we need to organize it with the guild to pop it), and we do lots of Astral, too (AS, AH, gold run etc.)
- people have remained EXTREMELY helpful and ready to assist you, again depending on the timezone, your level of courtesy, etc.
- if your build is right, it's a breeze to level... I can't compliment too much the relief of lack of runes
- F2P made me quit the game, P2P made me come back... enough said
- I personally do AS everyday (if my IRL schedule allows)
- gold is super easy to farm

Anyway, I hope this was insightful.

What is your experience lately with P2P? (Just to keep things fresh.)
