Sunnyvale, CA - February 16th, 2010 - Gala-Net, Inc., a leading
free-to-play online game publisher, has announced today the start of their Open
Beta Test (OBT) for Allods Online in the North American market. The Open Beta
Test allows players access to the entire game. All players are welcome to join
the world of Allods, and there will be no restrictions to join!
Allods Online is a revolutionary sci-fi fantasy MMORPG developed by Astrum Nival,
creators of Heroes of Might & Magic V, with a budget of $12 million and four
years in development. Astrum Nival is owned by Mail.Ru, the leading online
gaming publisher in Russia. Two warring factions, League and Empire, vie for
control of allodsislands floating in Astral space. The truly unique aspect of
Allods Online is the Astral ship system. Players can create their own ships,
crewed by entire parties where each player has a distinct role, from navigator
and helmsman to engineer and gunner. From their astral ship, players can
navigate the randomly generated astral space where they can explore uncharted
allods, fight massive Astral demons, and engage in Astral piracy on unwary
fellow travelers. The game features an unprecedented amount of content for a
free-to-play MMORPG: 2 factions, 6 races, 8 archetypes, 28 classes, and over
2,000 quests. The production values are top-notch with full motion-capture
animation, top award-wining artists, and a soundtrack by Mark Morgan, composer
for the hit TV-series Dexter, Fallout & Fallout 2, and Planescape: Torment.
Allods Online had a phenomenal response from users across all of our closed
beta tests! The positive feedback has been overwhelming, from hundreds of press
articles and blog posts, to tens of thousands of emails and forum comments.
Players have been raving about every aspect of the game experience, from astral
ships and exploration, to the wonderfully detailed steampunk atmosphere. Most
importantly, however, weve had countless players tell us that Allods has
demolished the standard for quality in a microtransactional game. With our open
beta, we welcome all newcomers to discover the Allods universe, as they journey
from the planet of Sarnaut to the farthest reaches of Astral space. - Patrick
