Allods Online - Could it be ... ?

[Lalafell]

I was about to make another thread in order to hate on Allods Online.

Watched a video and was halfway through typing about blood elf ripoffs, when I discovered another playable race.

Could this be the MMORPG I've been searching for?

Discuss.

Probably not if you consider it to be another WoW clone like hundreds of people. But hey, some people like hating on games they haven't tried because they are similar to other games. Nothing wrong with that.

I like it. I played it and I had fun, that was enough for me. The Gibberlings are a pretty creative race and I loved playing as them. They are insanely cute and their skill animations are pretty funny.

There's nothing quite like equipping a two-foot-tall hairy midget with an oversized blade and armor.

In all seriousness, though, it looks alright.
I have to say that it really does look quite like World of Warcraft.

The first thing I noticed was that the pixie-people looked a lot like blood elves.

I guess it's good for people who can't pay subscription fees; the major reason I avoid World of Warcraft is the look, which Allods seems to have adopted. Still, it's free, and I'll download it like I always do with these hyped releases.

At least I know people have tried it now.
I was wondering why games like Allods and SUN have been in our "list of MMO's worth trying" without being released, lol.

Allods adopted WoW look and art style, but it also has improved graphics (more detail, more textures, etc.)

By the way, other than the fact that they are both white with glowing eyes, what's similar between Blood Elves and Allods' elves? I'm just curious.

Like I said, I'm not really a fan of World of Warcraft, but just from screenshots here on OnRPG they reminded me of the Blood Elves.

It's not so much the glowing eyes (which I didn't even notice) but just the shape of their faces, bodies, and ears that just seem to mimic the Blood Elf design completely.

I can't really comment on the female elves of Allods, though, as I haven't really seen any female Blood Elves.

I tried to find some pictures to compare but couldn't.
The obvious differences are the wings, and the elves in Allods look somewhat thinner in the video I watched.

one guy said me the same thing, then I showed him pictures of some elves from movies, books, legends, cartoons... and they all look alike, and why do you think Allods copied WoW, because it's pretty obvious WoW copied elves from legends, so you can never be original with races like elves, orcs, undeads and stuff like that 'cause they are well known before WoW
and pls don't say me Allods copied humans from WoW
