What makes you better?
We don't position ourselves as "better". Our task is to provide players with the comfort and enjoyment they expect from the game. If we talk about our advantages, here they are: support for current addons, fair progression, regular content updates and transparent communication in Discord/news.
"The server won't last long"
Private Allods servers died due to lack of further progress. When players have achieved everything and have no goals to strive for - the game stops being enjoyable. We are a private server and we have the ability to increase server progress by adding content. Moreover, technically the project relies on a 64-bit client and automatic deployment processes.
"You'll collect money from people and disappear!"
We ourselves are interested in the server lasting as long as possible and creating an alternative Allods universe where players are heard and listened to. Playing on the server doesn't require huge financial investments, and you won't see all chests and items in the rare store that break the gameplay and give advantage over those who don't buy crystals.
"You can't do all this"
During our work on the server, we've shown that we can do a lot. For example, players have access to new dominion maps that didn't exist anywhere else, raid adventure "Observatory" in normal and hard modes. Additionally, we develop iteratively: we introduce content in stages, collect feedback and based on it - make changes. The goal is stable and predictable growth of players and their interest in the project.
"You'll choke with donations then"
No. Players who can buy crystals won't have huge advantage over newcomers - the rare store won't have all chests. They will rotate every 3 weeks. This will maintain the game economy at the auction, and also give opportunity to earn gold and exchange it for crystals to those who fundamentally don't spend money. Separately worth noting, if you're a content creator, or active bug hunter - you can get Special Merit Marks to purchase valuable items from the rare store.
"Everything is very murky"
Public patch notes, roadmap on the page, active dialogue in Discord. We intentionally make development transparent and open to everyone who plays or wants to join us.
"You have remake from 7.0!"
No, we don't use available 7.0 files from the network. Our server is a fully working version 5.0.02 with additions from higher versions. Every player can verify this themselves.
"Administration gives items to "their own""
For us, all players are equal, and we keep distance with everyone, regardless of who the player is. The server has a reward system for active community members. Reward conditions are transparent and everyone has opportunity to earn them.
