Allods brings players into a universe of epic fantasy and fierce conflict with a deep and captivating storyline. It takes place after the destruction of the planet Sarnout and the subsequent formation of the namesake Allods. These mystical islands float in the Astral, an expansive living substance that makes up the compelling game world. Adventurers will explore the numerous Allods as they battle against a wide range of enemies – and each other.
Allods Online will feature classic fantasy MMORPG gameplay that fans of the genre’s most successful titles can enjoy. It features extensive questing, intense player-versus-player combat, grand exploration, in-depth character development and plenty of social interaction. In the Astral, players will have the chance to put their wits and brawn to the test in larger-than-life Astral battles, the game’s giant fights between competing ‘Astral ships’ manned by multiple players. Adventurers from all over the world will have to choose between six races and eight character classes before choosing their allegiance between the two warring factions: the League and the Empire.

This is something i've been following for some time now. At first look one may think that it sounds like yet another korean f2p mmo.. there are thousands of them and even more are made each day... but there is something different about this one - hopefully everything 
The first thing is that the game is made by Astrum Nival, part of the russian Nival group. The game budget is quite big - 12 mil $ so it's a pretty big title.
The game is set in the universe of rage of mages (made by Nival interactive in 1998-1999), so supposably there will be a good story (well as far as stories in mmo go..)
What strikes me the most about the game is the incredible art design used by the team. Everything looks so colorful, artistic and incredibly detailed (the creatures animation for one thing), the art resembles the one of Heroes of might and magic V (i wonder why  ).Tho as character looks and proportion it will be mostly compared to Wow.
Fortunately the game has nothing to do with Asia, so there are no stupid big eyed characters etc. In fact the game has some slavic and soviet motives found in the architecture and character clothes (one of the races wears military helmets with red stars on them  )which is something pretty fresh for the genre.
In the game world Players will be divided by choosing to play as the league of the empire, each of which consist of several races - pretty much like.. yeah.. you know.
There are pretty interesting races like the little fluffy ewoks like.. things, which are always found in 3, so you control 3 chars as one. There is also a military WW2 soviet like faction, with equipment involving red stars and gas masks :]. There is also a race of reanimated mechanized guys (necrons  ) etc.
I don't excpect anything revolutionary from the game as gameplay goes (well, there will be huge pve/pvp battles in the astral space around the world with player crewed ships..) but somehow.. the game looks very impressive by all i've seen so far:) Oh, did i mention there is nudity in the game ? (there is a video of a harpy somewhere on the links). The game will be free to play with micro translation.
currently there are applications accepted for the EU closed beta and the RU open beta will open in a few days.

I'm in the russian beta. From what I see on russian forums, A LOT of people dislike it. Though IMO it's a lot better than standard F2P grind games.

For some odd reasons, there is no auto-attack tho ... weird ...

Its WoW clone like hell all the way, except fight is really boring and uninspiring (mobs have too much HP)

Yeah it takes like 10-20 seconds to kill a mob when you get higher than level 5.. which undoubtedly goes even faster at higher levels.
To each his own but way too many people dismiss games after playing at low level in a beta.

your wrong, warhammer doesnt use cartoony models..
also your wrong again, as warhammer does not use the "gold" style lettering font crap that most free play mmo's use, it mimics wow's logo texts in all ways, all they do is stretch or squash them and add diff colour outlining lols..
so sorry to upset you mr wow fanboi, but tough titty.. they all wanna be wow...

Yeah, tried and uninstalled, the starter quest bugged 3 times in a row, I got one character through the starter quest but all characters after that bugged out at some point and only thing I could to was logout -> reseted character to level 1 and to the beginning of the starter quest.
Then I read from the forums that it's practically impossible to play it without paying. Atleast have to buy the incenses and the curse removing items.

Yeah, sadly the game is dead.
The developers greed killed it some time ago.
Basically, all damage & heals the player does was nerfed by 50%, while mobs HP was almost doubled. Also, the cash item - incense - buff gives the $ spending player up to 400% damage increase.. so sad and pathetic
