When Allods was owned by gPotato, they had made an effort to make gear we wear look different.
Allods was never owned by gPotato. It was always owned by mail.ru (which my.com is the subsidiary of). Allods was LICENSED to be hosted by gPotato.
gPotato always had very hard time persuading mail.ru to do significant changes for their version. The only things they accomplished was:
- daily incense/potions/mount feed quest (very good, it is fundamental for true-free-to-play to thrive)
- holding off patronage 5 for a very long time (not really good IMO, because content was balanced around having it)
- having battle mounts demilitarized (this IMO was gPotato's GREATEST SUCCESS EVER regarding Allods, they effectively stopped most toxic aspect from infecting our version for a very significant time)
They never actually had their people modify any of the code or anything like that, they were just requesting for original developers to make their proposed changes.
