Allods Online is enjoying a pretty significant amount of popularity, given the fact that it's still only in the closed beta phase, and they announced today that they are expanding to accommodate the demand.
The next round of closed beta testing begins today with the launch of French and German servers in addition to Isa, the current European English language server. The French localized server is Airin, named for the homeland of the Elven race in Allods Online. Aro is the name of the new shard for the German community, and is named for the homeland of the Kanians.
As well as expanding to include more languages, Allods Online has increased the level cap to 20 for this beta test, and will continue increasing it gradually as testing proceeds. While a character wipe will take place now as well, it will be the last one until release, so plan to enjoy your new characters for a while if you're in the beta!

I got my beta key in the mail the other day, and downloaded the client, not expecting much. Damn, was I impressed. There is a crispness, a polish to the look and feel to the game is is just simply impressive and expected of AAA titles and not a F2P game. I found myself pausing in my playing to gape over wondrous vistas adn the shifting skies.
Well have to see if the finished product and the endgame have plenty to offer, but the fact that lvl 10 dungeons arent simply tank and spank encounters, is encouraging to that they are working on engaging and challenging engame raid bosses and isntances. But then again... the game will be free to play, so what can you lose by trying?

I was intrigued by levels 1-6, but then discovered Allods comes with a new piece of DRM software by infamous rootkitters Starforce. I uninstalled it immediately.
For all I know at this point, this new software might be completely harmless, but Starforce has not earned the benefit of the doubt.

I am intrigued by the mention of the character wipe. They have always said that there will be one at end of closed Beta but we were assuming one at teh end of closed beta would happen as well.
Looking forward to official clarification.
