Wardrobe and Mounts Ever Going to be Account Wide?

[Sinister Cat]

It really sucks that we pay to play, then turn around and have to grind all of our stuff back. If we earned it, it would be right to let us keep it. Just hoping that that's going to happen soon?

Anything from the boutique is already shared with your reincarnations. There is no reason why they would be shared with alts, of which can be made cross-server or cross-faction. The system is not out of the ordinary (microtransactions using 'bind to character' model) -- the difference is Allods at least shares them with your near infinite amount of character reincarnations.

The alternate version (free-for-all to use) will never happen given the nature of the game.

Not everyone wants to reincarnate at level 60 since it takes 10 days to reincarnate because most of the quest are dailies. The main restriction that this game has on the F2P server you have to spend cash or win events to get a mount. If you want a mount in most case all players do the just create a Priden they're the only race that I know of right now that gets a permanant mount for free.

I mean you guy have a ton of mount skin's the least you could do is make the skins account bound. World of Warcraft made all of there's account bount and gave players achievements for unlocking a ton of mounts to get secret mounts seems like a no brainer there.

I don't even know how a reincarnation works. I just started playing, and it really grinds my gears that I grinded for a mount for 3 days...turned around and found out I gotta do it again on my alts. The game is a lot of fun, but it's starting to get real old how much more effort into making their game a grind fest, rather than giving it the enjoyable aspects that make us go,"Wow, I earned this. This feels nice that I get to keep it." Nope. It's all gone if you look at it a different way. None of your work really matters. I really really hope that they come to change it. Reincarnation is not that important, it's a useless method that can easily be fixed by changing it to account bound.

Reincarnation is the answer to all of the above, providing cross-class abilities and 'sharing', unlike other MMORPGs that typically just share very specific items.

The quest itself (Spark Hardening, I believe) can be acquired from the top-temple floor on Isle of Revelation at level 60 -- and successfully completeing the trials/dailies/requirements allows you and your new reincarnation to share:

Bag,
Bank,
Gold,
Myrrh,
Runes,
Costumes,
Astral Ship,
Cross-Class abilities,
Mounts (and mount feed),
Patron (and its active blessing),
And all tems acquired from the Boutique, as well as the special (unique) bonuses gained from Radiant Strongbox items.

It is also part of the lore (see 'spark'), explaining why these benefits are bestowed upon a reincarnation and not just some random other generated 'character', of which can be made cross faction, that has absolutely no bearing on your main characters own achievements or activities. That's not saying the frustration is not understandable - but that is/was how it has been handled for many years in Allods, and how it will remain for the forseeable future.

A reincarnation is essentially an extention of your main character - both of which benefit eachother in many ways, whereas an alt is just that... An alt that has no relation to your main in any way.

Well I'm glad you responded. But, my outlook on this game has completely changed. You people are...

Sorry you feel that way. We have no problem with constructive feedback or criticism, though the above type of post is anything but. Given the core questions were already answered, and considering the wild U turn from discussion to bashing, this topic will now be closed.
