So today I tried soloing nas hecklers at 60 and did it perfectly fine. Then a group came by and we did that till around 70-80ish. Then I went to the Tiggs are they called maybe it was Tigs. Anyways I’m sure people know what I mean hehe. Then I went from there to about level 90ish then a pocket tank for some hecks got me to level 101 and then the other 4 levels slow at the borgs and I can tell you SLOW is SLOW.

I really hope I can find some good teams and or pockets because I think half my day just trying to get into a team.

Anyways not much else happen today and I work tomorrow and Sunday and its many hours so I will be getting very few levels over the weekend if any.

Here is my Screen of the day:

I got to about 48 today and going try to hit 70 Tomorrow if that is even possible. I had a lot of fun unfortunately 95% of it was solo and got a little boring but playing a shade is far from boring so it was not as bad in the end.

I’m sort of running out of Spirits I got a few but in the medium levels of like 50-100+ I have nothing really just a few but nothing special and this is going to be a pain as shades can’t use implants so I gotta find a way to get some more and make friends lol. I really need to get new weapons once I hit like 70-80 I guess and I need to get armor and spirits bad. I’m using some low QL Card lol.

Nothing else was really special today besides trying to get into the Org The Red Brotherhood but so far I’m playing 16 hours a day and their recruiter is on the other 8 lol. But hopefully that gets solved very soon. I just hope I don’t end up playing when there is only 5 online during my time hehe.

Here is a snapshot of me just getting into a group before I wrapped up this blog for the day!

I spent almost a week just cleaning my old Character and deleting them. Andy and I decided to start fresh 100% and for once not play a MA, NT, Adv but something new to both of us. Sort of a pact I guess you would call it. So Today I started a Shade and having a blast with it.

Lots and I mean Lots of people around RK helped me out with some random spirits and such for my shade since we don’t use implants for the people who don’t know that. I also spent a lot researching reading and such about the class. I get really picking when I play games I end up making like 100 alts or spend a month researching or trying something but being worried I picked the wrong class and always second guessing myself about it.

The cool thing about it is my other friend Chris also downloaded the game and may play but is track record is not the best since he is living on his own and ends up being busy or just gets bored of MMORPG’s. But hopefully he will learn to like it or he will move on to Star Wars: The Old Republic I’m sure lol like the rest of the human civilization.

So today I got my shade to level 19 and I will post more updates in the future his temp name is Kanes-2 and yes that is Kanes with a -2 at the end. I transferred the Character from the German server RK3 and now I have a usable name change I’m saving for when the name wipe happens in the next week or less. Means in fact told me to do this so what a great Game Director.

I also took a screenshot and It will not always be a full screenshot but I wanted to show that I was using the wonderful custom UI.

Anyways here was my first ride. (Please note the hours are wrong but I did not document my total till after the ride and I know I put on 4 hours since my last ride in 2009 and so I just though meh 4 hours but the ride was more like 1 hour 30min.

Date: Sunday, March 07, 2010
Distance: 25KM
Time: 4 Hours
Location: Miller Dr, Barrie
Description: Lets just say if you don’t stay on the path you sink and sink even more if your machine weighs more then 1,000 pounds without anyone even on it. I had a great time the weather was good but it took me almost 4 hours to get my trailer from my backyard to my front yard. Even with my friend Andy with me we had to use the winch many times. The trail was not the best I was sinking in a lot. The areas around the trail line were melting fast and only saw 1 snowmobile the whole time and even after he gave me a hand getting unstuck (Very nice guy saved me like 10min of work) He even said stay on the packed trails. (I was try respecting their trails)

It was nice though it was warm out and I had a good ride and I noticed the snowmobile guys are lazy as hell. Where I would bring a chain saw to fix a down tree they just make their own path (Fail) and now will end up having 2 trails in the spring time.

Pictures:

Anyways I got no info now and I work all day but I will post a couple screenshots and more info in the next day or 2 for you guys to see.

Sorry about not keeping my blog going and I got over 300 new comments and I’m sure most are just spam hehe.

Grab them Here!

This is now above NPC’s that your currently in progress of doing a quest for them. Before there was no icon at all if you were in the progress of doing a quest for an NPC.

This replaces the old quest log minimize button on the top right. Part of the revamp quest log. Now not the actual quest log looks like it changed this one is just the overlay you always see on the right side.

This is the new Quest Sort feature. What this does is when you click this icon on and off it will make it so it displays the local zones quests or all the quests in the world. This makes it cleaner and more simple for people who are trying to figure out what quests are in just that zone.

Most of us knew that this was not going to happen on the NA and EU servers but its also been fixed on the Russian servers. No one on the Russian server liked the idea and they were even losing players without asking for help on the local zone chat. Anyways they made it again so anyone can use zone chat and there adding a special item shop item where now it changes your color when you talk in zone chat rather then grant you access.

This is what I have so far I hope this gives you some clues and ideas of what is to come and don’t forget to check the full Russian patch notes here!

You can listen to the wonderful interview below done by MOG Cast!

Stop reading and go there now eta 40min from this post!

Accept one thing. Back in a older interview in December they said they were going to launch both the NA and EU into Open Beta at the same time… So don’t panic people things do change who knows maybe tonight will be Open Beta or maybe tomorrow or heck it could be a month away and now there just going some internal tuning up.

Lets hope for the best and don’t forget to tell your friends about Allods Online!

TNT Blog!

Tomorrow is the last day of Closed Beta 4. We don’t know if this means Open Beta or Closed Beta 5 or heck it could mean break time. I did read an old article that they were going to try to launch both the EU and NA servers for open beta at the same time but things do change.

If you want a beta key grab them before their all gone here:
Get you keys now!

Hope I can get the opportunity to play with you guys soon! Have fun!

Update 6:

Well it looks like they are not going to do anything about the Ban. I had made another account for just in game and not for posting on the forums and I was going to log in make a video for the what is your favorite quest to sort of celebrate it and well I can’t even play that account. So they are actively following me and banning me but yet don’t communicate with me at all. I have no clue what to do someone suggested using the BBB because later on it adds up but I don’t want to damage the game but me bring this up damages it and they are trying there best to not let me play.

At this point its not even about protecting their selves it about making sure I have no fun at all. I feel like crying like a little kid I just want to frigan play and have fun. I made friends in game and many cool people and has some great zone chats about computers and its amazing how the community is mature in the game.

Not sure what to even do now I feel like some nagetive things but that does not resolve anything but what are you suppose to do if someone refuses to talk to you but will ban your account and knowing your trying? I sent in emails, twitters, pm’s and the works…

Update 5:

Not sure whats going to happen. I was hoping to receive some communication with the GM’s or something now. At this point I’m not here to get anyone fired I just rather work it out so we all can go back to our lives rather then argue and fight about it. I just want to do this in peace but there has just been no way for me to communicate. If I make a forum account just to talk to them via PM they ban me. it’s like they perm banned me for bad tone and I still don’t get bad tone.

I know I was a bit of a jerk and pushing it but still not sure why we can’t resolve this yet. Hope today someone is willing to talk about it so I can play the last few hours of closed beta a experience I want to do and take some screenshots.

Update 4:

Well I found out when I thought maybe they were going unban me or in the process where my in game ban said inactive. What it really means was that my IP was banned. So I live in a building where a few of us share the internet one of them could not connect to the server. Accept he could go on the forums. I have of course changed my IP but of course I will not post on the forums or make a new account or anything till my account is resolved with the GM’s and I hope they can take a bit of time tomorrow once things cooldown more.

PS: I noticed people posting on the forums about my Ban. Well don’t do it since the rules state don’t talk about bans or you could end up getting banned to. So don’t do it at all and let the GM’s do their job.

Thanks,
Kane

Update 3:
Nothing really new but I sent a few emails trying to resolve the issue and I also noticed my in game ban went from banned to inactive. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a worse thing.

Update 2:

Not sure what to do guys. I just want to be unbanned I even told them I would delete this blog that seams to be my only way to communicate with them. I mean I tried emailing and making many forum accounts and even threatening them a bit by playing a game where if they ban the account I make just for PMing the GM’s then I make a new one to cause chaos and then repeat. But in the end they did not care about me spamming the forums and at that point I did and I had a few people ask to play fair.

It’s funny so many people from Allods community is really good and I really want to play with you but with my forever ban I can’t play with ya ever. The way it works now is there is no way to get unbanned and everytime I try to communicate I get banned or ignored.

Even the email they provide when you get banned bounces back.

Do you guys have any suggestions for someone who does not want to give up on their fav game? I mean Perm banned for something they did not even show or prove to me and I even showed how I was getting harassed and yet here I am perm banned for just over communicating the fear of death patch.

Heck I even told them I would make this blog post history and we start on a lets call it a trial period to make sure I don’t act up but they were unwilling at all. They even said their supervisors would not accept.

Please help me with ideas!

Update 1:

I found out I was also banned in the game I have never done anything wrong in the game and as many people know I promote the game even made movies and good comments. The only thing I was agaist was the Fear of Death patch and I was thanked by Miss_Sadie by being permanently banned.

I also like to thank inarakatt for trying to help me out even not be successful trying to put time into my issue.

I will keep fighting this and thanks for everyone who has supported me by sending in emails and complaints but also sharing this on your blogs and other forums!

Original Post:
I just want to let you know I will be editing this topic over time. Also don’t worry I’m not the only one who has gotten banned example url below of more people and you can google tons more. But I would like to thank everyone for their support and please share this with everyone. I want people to know what happen to Kane and why he was banned but not just for me the many others who got banned for fighting for Fear of Death!

If you people don’t know there is a Witch Hunt going on today. Most people who are on the NA forums know miss_sadie. If you enjoy the game but have some concerns then the chances of knowing miss_sadie is even more highly likely. Why do you ask? Simple she is the one that deletes all your posts that don’t meet her standards. In fact today she went and locked every FoD thread up. She call’s us basically children and how she has to spend her time moderating the forum.

Truth is sometimes people get out of line but we usually do fine including weekends when she does not even bother to visit the forums. That is right a game that is near launch and the so called biggest GM I seen does not spend her weekends on the forums…. Pretty much auto pilot and like I said we do better without her.

Now now I was banned already once for a thread I made about how things are okay since a recent interview said they will do no game play impact with the items mall. I was Permanently banned for that but finally got miss_sadie to remove it. First off I followed the forum rules but she said my tone was off. WOW we have forums that speak through the speakers now? grr I never figured out what she meant by that..

Then she started to harass me with locking and deleting and moving my threads even ones that have nothing to do with the Fear of Death posts..

Then I started to get PM’s like this:

So now you can see I’m not as crazy as you think. I guess I’m one of those people who sends out a bad tone via a broadband connection.

So now here is some of the posts been raided today:

Crap lots of them are done by me. Well that was because I brought such good proof and topics and as you can see most were many pages long not some 2 posts you spam. Her excuse NONE.

Then she would start correcting my English or sometimes I repeat my self and she would be an ass and quote them and if I try to reply to it she would delete my reply instant. Like she would sit their waiting for my reply. So I could not even defend my self or be like that is not polite. I even said in private to remove it but I was considered a piece of dirt.

Now you can see I been slowly building up a case because from the minute I met her she had this bad attitude like she was like some type of super human and if you don’t listen to her your going to get smashed like a bug and I do not mean like don’t follow the rules I will own you more like don’t post or I will own you.

Now everyone liked me I had no issues and had some amazing conversations via PM with many people upset by her moderation of the forums and there is so many nice people in Allods Online I must say. I was impressed how many people were polite and cool and just relaxed. Even more for being a beta so way to go community!

Now I have yet to have a bad interaction with another person on their forums and then I get the banned message and this part made me LOL..

First off if she is going to be rude about my language it should be considered GM not GMs since I had no problems with any other Moderator’s or GM’s and TBH I know this topic becomes iffy but if anyone ever played on a private server and you should not it’s a bad thing but if you have I’m sure you have experienced corrupted 13 year olds running around giving over powered items to their friends and such. Yeah we have a winner.

So why is this happening?
There adding an effect called Fear of Death. At level 40 it lasts 51 minutes and removes 25% of your stats and stacks 4 times. So what is the big deal? Well the whole point is to sell this perfume that lasts 30 minutes via their item mall. so you ask? well first they said no gameplay effects would come from the item mall done by the latest interview on MMORPG.com (busted) the next thing is this potion also increases the users stamina and I don’t mean a simple buff you get in World of Warcraft.

Basically this one them item malls where you buy potions you will always win at pvp. So why not buy some potions? Oh well that is where the catch is.. I calculated from the Russian store it cost $1 USD per 30 crystals. This perfume costs 5 crystals per 30 minutes. So calculate if you a person who plays lets say 50 hours a week and yes many people do…

The point is we dislike these changes and they careless really. They say they care but there going with it anyways. Allods Russia has a poll with almost 2k votes and 85% of them don’t like Fear of Death..
Check this thread out for TONS more info and many links to people who don’t like FoD:

I would like to say sorry to Izye he or she tried to support me when miss_sadie was being a jerk to me on the post where she quoted me repeating my self twice. (btw the quotes were not the full message so she just was editing to make me look worse. Anyways izye sort of posted right after when miss_sadie kept deleting my post and well his or her post got deleted too and who knows probably banned too now. I also want to note the topic was locked and I was banned at that point.

Let me make this as easy as possible 30 Crystals roughly equal $1 us dollar for converting from 1 Russian ruble.

To give you an idea crystals are sold by each in Russia. For example 1 Crystal = 1 Russian ruble that in USD = 0.033009 U.S. dollars

I have 19 images so make sure you read more this first image is the most popular items and the rest is is your full list including the ones from the first image!

More Inside!

Now its Monday and its a good chance that we may hear something about the Fear of Death effect or even some other info about the upcoming open beta that is not confirmed but predicted to be coming on Wednesday.

I will keep you all updated and you can also check out the several places talking about FOD patch:
MMORPG.COM Forums
US Forums
EU Forums
RUS Forums

There is many other places like Blogs and double to what would a 100th post of the same-thing be called? Anyways its a big deal and it needs to be resolved soon and the sooner the better so many guilds are already looking for new games to play.

Also I want to repeat my self I like and enjoy Allods a lot and I don’t do this FoD Fearing to the public because I want the game to lose players. I do it because I want them to reconsider it and gain players. I find if you market it more of a P2P game but free then add a few cool things ontop of it but you could end up with one the biggest mmorpg’s and make alot of cash with out forcing unbalancing of the game.

I got no warning I was staying within the rules and bang I was banned for no reason. Heck even after I made a comment how the forum MODS do a good job even though they are just mods they are very no bias. A lot of games have mods that are way way to bias and always stick up for the game no matter what.

I followed the rules and well crazy anyways. So now I wanted to know exactly the reason I was banned so I fired a email to where it told me to contact them and it bounces back… They don’t even have a working email for the contact the administration…

Here was the email I used: allods@gala-net.com

Here was what I got back:

Delivery has failed to these recipients or distribution lists:

I hope no one else gets banned for trying to fix a game they love and want to make it out there in the rough world.

Also here was my banned message:

You have been permanently banned from this board.

Please contact the Board Administrator for more information.

A ban has been issued on your username.

If anyone has suggestions you can contact me through comments here if its personal just say so and I will not approve the comment for publishing.

Here is what is says from the NA English forums patch notes:

• Changed the death mechanics. Increased the time spent in Purgatory for characters above level 15. The time spent in Purgatory does not increase when a character dies multiple times. After leaving Purgatory a character will receive the “Fear of Death” effect. This effect lowers a character’s offensive stats by 25%. Each time a character dies, they will receive another Fear of Death effect that can stack up to 4 times. The effect duration changes based on the character’s level. In order to remove this effect, a player needs to talk to a Servant of the Light and get their blessing. The effect can also be removed using perfume

So at level 40 from many random sources this is how it works. When you die you get the 25% stats debuff for 51 minutes and if you die 3 more times you basically get a 51 minutes still but the  debuff with 100% stats loss during that time.

From what I get from it is you can buy this perfumes that you apply ahead of time? not quite sure how this part works yet but anyways there is a couple quests and annoying to get and very limited. By the time you hit 40 you will have none left and sort of forces you to use the cash shop.

I’m disappointed and may even quit over it. I don’t have much faith since the developers have lied to us and more info can be found here on the lie:

Dec interview:

MMORPG.com:

What will the item mall be like in the game? Will items impact game play?
Vincent Douvier:

Allods Online was developed by Astrum Nival from the very early stages to be Free to Play. Hence, the Allods Shop was not a layer added later in the game. There was a team from the beginning of development in charge of taking care of the shop, and to make sure that it would not alter game play.

Astrum Nival is the leading developer of Free to Play MMORPGs in Russia as well as the leading publisher of Free to Play MMORPG games. Gala Networks Europe is the leading publisher of Free to Play MMORPGs in Europe. With the experience of those two companies in the field, players can rest assured; the Allods Shop will be fine-tuned to its best.

Here is some links to the issue:

NA Forums

EU Forums

RU Forums

Give you an idea and it’s roughly translated for me that 84.31% don’t like the new death system and that was based on 1638 votes.

Gibberlings MoCap session:

I also want you to know that I will not compare features with other games. I know a lot and I mean a lot of players first MMORPG was World of Warcraft but some of us were playing MMO’s almost 10 years before WoW came out so some of the features I have experienced in the past were also in WoW and maybe not all but a lot and we don’t see people saying omfg this game stole WoW’s features.

So that is my onetime warning that I have lots of experience in MMO’s and that I don’t give a crap what games have the same features as were focusing on this game and the enjoyment of it.

Now it Starts!

Here is a quick rundown of some of the features I experienced in this game in the first 5 levels and really that was not even true lets say level 5-6 after the new player tutorial area which in fact was one the best I have played in a long time.

- Repeatable Quests
Get a quest for example kill 5 creatures and hand it in a repeat. Usually you repeat it for a consumable items or reputation.

- Talents
Just in many games you have a talent tree and you pick the path you want to go

- Attributes Points System
One the features that are more rare where each level you can spend points in certain attributes for example level 5 to 6 I got 1 attributes point and put it into intellect.

- Resale
Best feature so far I have seen. When a player vendors a item and can be unsaleable if say you could trade it to another player then it goes into the resale section of the NPC. What this means is if I sell 5 random armor loot that someone else can buy it from the NPC at a higher cost and I do mean higher like 10 times but also a lot cheaper then say from the Auction house. This feature is amazing for older players making alts since not only it saves your time going back and forth going to an Auction House but would save you a lot of money and keep you more updated.

- Stated Items
Right from the first quest you do at level 1 gives you stated items. I don’t mean .00001 Intellect or 1 intellect.. I mean like 2-3 + other Attributes.

- Resists
This game already has a great resists and twinking system. You can at even level 5 work on fire resists for a certain mob you would like to farm and such. I mean its a little unpractical at level 5 but I mean think about it level 30+ when you want to farm stuff for resources and such you can twink out just for that area.

- Pre-charged Spells
I know this one sounds a tad strange but let me tell you what I mean. For example you have a 5 second casting spell. If your not in combat or targeting anyone you can still use the spell. But rather then finishing by casting it just sits there waiting to be used for a instant spell. As far as you can tell this only one spell you can’t charge all your spells up and only tested this on a Mage so far. But a really cool feature and great for PvP too getting you ready ahead of time and letting you throw out that big long casting spell instant now.

For example LOTRO is fun and great but I feel like I’m only playing solo and we are on the most populated server. I mean I still want to get to 65 and I paid for 3 months and going to play for 3 months but I will for sure not be playing hours a day or everyday.

I have decided heck if I can get a half of a level or a level a day I can hit 65 way before 3 months are up and I can do many end game things then too.

I also want to get into MAG but anyways this post is not about LOTRO or MAG.

Allods Online IS AMAZING F2P game in closed beta that is just amazing lol.

More to come soon!

My goal is to try to hit level 30 tonight and try a skirmish before I go to bed. I may not make my goal since I love questing in the game and going to head to a few low level areas to work on the quests just to enjoy some of these fun side stories and chain quests but also to explore more of the wonderful land of Middle Earth.

I have no decided if I'm going craft with tailoring since my friend Andy is also doing Tailoring and Metal-smith and I really don't think there is a need for 2 people with it. I also like to get a Kin setup over the next few days and then get a house few days after that for my self and maybe one for the Kin a couple months later I think it takes.

Anyways here is a sunset for ya!
