the history of the Giant purge that ruined the game

[Eddie Plant]

there is a REASON why there is no player base in the game. NEVER FORGET THE GIANT PURGE where they DROVE OFF 90 percent of theyre base in 2 weeks, NEVER FORGET
it was the worst stupidest move from developers in gaming history and the BIGGEST overnight tank of a beautiful huge loving virbrant community. They killed it. and it will never come back. And now the games gonna get old and the world will move on. But now you know what they did to us. This game has exactly the player population base it DESERVES NEVER forget how nerdy developers had a million people and tanked it virtually over night not listening to the players due to JUST GREED. they had it all but it wasnt enough,

i say 2 weeks but more than half of us were gone in 3 days. it was the BIGGEST mess up in gaming history and there should be a movie about it

[Eddie Plant]

we were all giving hugs to each other a week before they released it. What a joke you have a week of everyone hugging saying goodbye getting ready to jump ship and they did that? I could not BELIEVE they were willing to drive off an entire community cause they wanted more sht.

what is bro yapping about

[Eddie Plant]

this game originally had a huge player base and they got rid of 90 percent of it with one greed cash shop update. Everyone planned to leave a week before they did it and they did it anyways. It was monumental and may have been the single biggest greed gaming error in the history of mmos. It was so long ago that most people forgot. I was there, i remember thousands of people hugging each other and crying saying goodbye to each other.

Probably talking about the golden age of Allods, which was during patch 1.0 and 2.0

It's not mystery the population in this game is a shadow of its former self. I remember patch 6.0 release day on F2P server and it was so full of players to the point you had instances and phasing. It isn't surprising to know earlier patches had much more players.

Honestly, I wish they'd re-release Allods again (A remake or a remaster) with a good marketing but without the cash shop. That's the only way they could ever massively re-populate the game.

That's not to say the game is dead or terrible, but it had the potential to really stand toe-to-toe with MMOs giants such as WoW or FFXIV and I believe it still has if they choose the appropriate strategies.

Dude im totally with you. I still dream of going back. It was sooo long ago its hard to remember much but i do remember the patch included having to fix items that broke with money or something.

Yeah, I went to GW2, and WoW, but at this rate MMORPGs games are going, it is not my taste anymore. I have left this genre for good now.

I remember gw 1 lol. Those were the days man. Check out a tiny tankgame called shellshock if you ever get bored. That small community never goes away and just gets friendlier over time i think. And who knows, maybe there will be a good mmo one day. I hopped in project quarm last year and had a blast through kunark. Got stupid by velious though, all the nice people left and we were left with the aholes. So you're kinda right about mmos, but who knows. The future is untold. Check out shellshock though if you get really bored cause wed love to have you there and theres ALWAYS multiple games within seconds at your finger tips.
