Love Festival!

Thursday, February 14 2013 - 12:00 AM
by piopico


“To get the full value of joy
You must have someone to divide it with.”
Famous Kanian Writer


Mysterious characters have started to appear in town. They rival with the cuteness of Gibberlings with their sweet appearance; they spread serenity and love to whoever comes to them for advice or just curiosity! The Historians are more than puzzled about the origins of these characters, their real goal, or even why they appeared straight in the middle of February! It must be a secret plan of Nihaz! Using attractive women to lure his enemies to be the slave of their feelings unless there is a better explanation of the situation. It is… the Love Festival!
 
Nihaz wasn’t the instigator of this new event though. It was indeed Yasker and Aidenus who were worried about the morose mood of their troops and took matter in their hands!
 
From the 14th until the 28th of February, take part in the Love Festival and share your feelings to the world!

 
From the 14th of February, Sarnautians will welcome the exquisite Lubava Charova in front of Aidenus Tower in Novograd, and Lyubov Serdechkina in the Old Square in Nezebgrad! Beside making the male (or even female) gender drool with admiration, they will be in charge of restoring the loving mood in the hearts of League and Empire soldiers! If you were in search of a partner to share your raid stories with or want to rekindle your relationship with your spouse, it will be the perfect opportunity to talk to the ladies!
 

Lubava Charova —————– Lyubov Serdechkina

 
On your first meeting with the NPC, you will be given a special task which will be the first step into finding the perfect one for your lone soul! Once you’ve learn their teachings and practice your aiming at striking through your enemies’ hearts and possible love interests, you will be free to spread love and heart-break in town with the repeatable quests “Love thy enemy” and “Love thy neighbor”!
 
Be careful though! No one knows how true love will strike! It may happen when you aim at an Elf, a facetious Gibberling, or even a fierce Orc? You will know when the Love Fever will blind you! Don’t fight it; embrace it and find Lubava or Lyubov to receive the item which will be given to your chosen one. Get the “Blind Love” quest and find another character victim of the intense passion!
 

But, love won’t be the only reward thanks to these quests – masks, underwear, and many more items will be filling your bag! If you wanted to spend your Valentine evening with mystery, romanticism, fashion, or even laughs, Lubava and Lyubov will make sure you will never forget the Love Festival!
 
Our ladies will be glad to trade your Special Holiday Coins, and Gifts of Infatuation and True love, if the search for your special one is getting in the way of your adventurer’s life!
 
So, what can love offer you?
 
Here is what you can get in the Infatuation Gift:
 

Star Shades—————-Heart Shades


Cat Ears —————-Bunny Ears


Stranger Mask (Green) —————-”Phantom of the Opera” Mask


“Seal of Mystery” Mask ————-Sparkling Antennae


Red Flower Band —————-Edelweiss Band


Wildflower Band —————-Stylish Haircut


Arrow of Passion

 
And here what the Gift of True Love will reward you with:
 

Firefly Mask —————-Heart Bunny Ears


Star Bunny Ears —–”Desire” Underwear (Bound to character)


“Passion” Underwear – Bound to the character

 
Needless to say, you will be spoiled with accessories! Perfect for our Valentine’s Event on Facebook! And you can even share the gifts with your beloved, or just Auction it!
 
Don’t be shy, this is the only moment of the year you are allowed to hunt to find your one-true-love! Who knows when Lubava and Lyubiv will be back in town to help you find the perfect person to accompany you in the endless Sarnautian nights?
 
Don’t hesitate, and give your heart between the 14th and the 28th of February in Allods Online with the Love Festival!

Lords of Destiny – A Closer Look at the New Zones!

Friday, February 08 2013 - 10:55 AM
by piopico

 

 
Ahoy Astral Captains!
 
Today we start a journey into the new content coming soon with the next update Allods Online: Lords of Destiny! Welcome to the first preview of many more previews to come leading up to the exciting update!
 
We would like to first introduce a new Sarnautian race, the Tequanis. It is now time to set sail towards their lands and to discover more about this ancient and mysterious people!
 
Your faction leader will send you there on a secret mission, but beware! Astral demons are always lurking in the darkness, waiting for ships to attack! You will be far away from home in the unknown Astral, but don’t worry, it doesn’t happen so often to leave a demon behind and to find a tropical paradise at the end of a wormhole!
 
Deep in the Astral, a forgotten archipelago awaits to be explored. Its name, Pearl Ring, has been lost for centuries and the way to reach it as just been retrieved. It is part of a bigger allod called Irdrih, which is as wide as Holy Land, Eljune and Coba Plateau put together.
 

Welcome to the Jungle!

 
Disembark your ship and, while you are still trying to put all the pieces together, you will start to explore a tropical jungle with stunning landscapes and many different types of wildlife. Be careful though: not all these cute animals will be friendly, many of them are fierce enemies!
 

 
One of the first inhabitants you will have the chance to meet are the Aviaks. At your arrival in the area, you will discover soon that this tropical paradise is shaken by a war between two different factions of Aviaks. When you find yourself alone, far away from home, one of the first things to do is find some allies: fly on the back of the colorful Squawkers to discover the islands while helping your new Aviaks friends!
 
Discover the amazing flora and fauna of this tropical map, take part in an arcane ritual, and challenge the natural elements to gain the respect of the Wind people!
 

 
The landscape of the Pearl Ring map is stunning. Dive into the clear waters to discover a colorful underwater environment with many mysteries to unravel.
 
Do you remember the days when you had been sent to the Holy Land with an important quest? Here you will find an element to bring back your memories. We’re not only talking about PvP, but about Sites of Power! Honor your faction in this remote corner of the Astral and conquer sites of power to unlock buffs for all the comrades of your faction!
 
Pearl Ring is a round reef that encircles an archipelago of xx small islands with a bigger one at its center. After having explored the smaller islands, it is now the time to venture into the main one.
 

 
If you delve deeper into the secrets of Irdrich and uncover plots of powerful forces, you might be lucky and find a way to the beautiful Tequatl!
 
Tequatl

 
Tekyans are an ancient race, mentioned in the June chronicles that survived the Great Cataclysm and lost for ages when Sarnaut was torn into pieces. But, as Historians always reminds us, sometimes lost things might be recovered!
 

 
Before the Great Cataclysm, the Tequanis, which are furry little creatures and distant relatives of the Gibberlings, used to be a savage people that inhabited the jungle in Irdrich. Due to the remoteness of their land, they had never met other rational beings before.
 
When Irdrich was colonized by the Junes around the 1800 year of the Old Era, those little creatures were impressed by the spells and the abilities of the new comers and soon gained their favors offering them generous gifts. Soon, both races began to live side by side and the colonists turned into patient teachers, trying to pass the Tequani their knowledge and culture. The little creatures lived without concerns and the Junes provided to their needs until the Curse destroyed their civilization and Sarnaut was shattered into pieces.
 
Before meeting their fate, the Junes made sure their furry friends survived, but the Tequani were left on their own and the world forgot about them until now. The Junes became gods in their minds and the Tequani had to put in practice what they had learned from their protectors and take care of themselves.
 

 
They eventually built their civilization and managed to establish their own traditions and school of magic. Today, the Tequani still live in harmony with nature and build their houses under the trees.
 
Do not be fooled by their fluffy appearance though! Although they are kind-hearted and friendly, some of them might be hostile while they protect their settlement. Keep that in mind while taking the path towards their village!
 
The beauty of their land will leave you speechless and ease your homesickness. Explore their village and talk to them and you’ll discover more abou their culture and their secrets. After the fall of June civilization, new gods has replaced the Ancient protectors. Who are those “Immortals”, as Tequanis call them, and what is hidden in their beautiful Crystal Palace?
 

 
The more you will discover about this stunning land, the closer you will get to a bitter revelation: how could such beauty and innocence have been spared by destruction? Maybe there is another side of Irdrich to discover, more to see, but it is not time to unveil it yet…
 
Make sure to check our Official Website for our next Lords of Destiny preview!

[EVENT] It’s Time to Celebrate Plam!

Friday, February 08 2013 - 10:40 AM
by piopico

Each of the Twelve Martyrs are great in their own way as they fill their chosen ones with blessings to help them on their journeys through Sarnaut. We use their protective abilities, they help us regenerate after a long, hard battle and they offer guidance to those who seek it. So let’s celebrate them individually! Each Patron should have their own designated holiday in which their worshipers can benefit of their blessing and offer up even more prayer to the great Martyrs!
 
From the Saturday, February 9th until Saturday, March 9th, all those born under the sign of Plam will celebrate their patron and receive their blessings for 20 days!
 

 
For those of you asleep during history classes in Nezebgrad and Novograd, here’s a brief overview of the Great Martyrs:
 
Men and women on these allods are never alone. They are protected by the blessing of a mysterious set of powers, called the Great Martyrs.
 
Shortly after the Great Cataclysm, the Magi began to notice strange events of the original magic. Although their appearance seemed to coincide with the Astral invasion, their precise nature remained a mystery for many years. While the Astral was known to have a magical influence on Allods and all their inhabitants, 12 special magical auras were discovered, each with unique properties and characteristics.
 
Over the centuries, experiments were conducted on these forces. It was discovered that each inhabitant of Allods could perform a ritual to seek protection from one of these magical auras, but for a long time the nature and origin remain shrouded in mystery.
 


 
So what better way to celebrate a patron than by praying to it extra hard during it’s holiday season? That doesn’t mean we want you to rush out to the Deserted Farm on a one man mission to end up in purgatory for a 24 hour period! We want you to fight with honor and courage, slay as many enemies as possible, and give thanks to Plam afterwards!
 
How can you take advantage of these benefits? Just log-in to your character with Plam’s symbol, and enjoy the FREE 20 days blessing! Easy as that!
 
Great news for all who wish to give thanks to their patron! Celebrate the adventures they’ve already had and look towards those that are to come! The Festival of Plam runs from Saturday, February 9th until Saturday, March 8th – don’t miss out!

Show your Kanian Pride for Unity Day!

Friday, January 25 2013 - 10:42 AM
by piopico

Long before the destruction of Sarnaut, new nations emerged after the fall of the Junes civilization. They weren’t united, although they called themselves Aro, or “humans”. Because of their bloody disputes over the dominions, they were losing their best warriors and brought misery upon their peers. This was put to an end when a greater danger loomed over their territory: the Orcs. The human tribes couldn’t resist their invasion on their own, and after countless villages burned to the grounds, only one solution was possible to ensure their survival: the unity of the tribes. The army of Aro over-powered the Orcs into a glorious battle and kick them back into wilderness!
 
This wasn’t the only victory though, as their union led to something more meaningful: a friendship which led to the strongest nation of Sarnaut, the Kanians!
 
We are celebrating this special day, a day that reminds you of the greatest victory of your nation! Everyone rejoice for the Unity Day from Monday, January 28th until Wednesday, February, 6th!
 

If you are a Kanian and proud of it, meet the members of the Holidays committee to get the best accessories for this celebration!

Event: Allods Ice Sculpture!

Monday, January 21 2013 - 11:46 AM
by piopico


 
The holidays may be down but the wintry fun that came along with it is not out! Trees, buildings, and lakes are still sprinkled with frozen remains including what’s this…the citizens of Sarnaut?
 
Sarnaut news reporters are just in with the breaking story…
 
“You’ve heard it right. Inhabitants of Sarnaut have started a fad similar to planking known as “icing”. It appears players are using the Eye of the Frost trinket from the past winter event and freezing themselves in wildly creative poses. Sometimes these players are icing when on a mount or when casting a spell to capture the spell’s blinding effects. We’ve even caught players cold-handed while icing with other players! There’s no real purpose to doing this beyond fun and lots of LOLs!”
Now is your chance to show all of Sarnaut how great of an icer you are!

 

 
From Monday, January 21st until Monday, February 4th, upload your best screenshot of your Allods character icing on the Allods Facebook Fan Page.
 
Icing rules:
 
• Using the Eye of the Frost trinket from the past winter event, make any creative pose with your character and take a screenshot.
• You are welcome to be on a mount; cast a spell; or include other players when activating the Eye of the Frost trinket (icing).
• Upload the screenshot on our Facebook application “Allods Ice”
• Get your friends and comrades to vote for the contest!
• Vote will close on Monday, February the 4th, so cast your vote everyday for your favorite picture!
• There can be only 1 winner/gPotato or Facebook account!
 
Icing Rewards:
 
• The top 5 most voted pictures will receive the following rewards:
 
1st – 2,000 Premium Crystals
2nd – 1,500 Premium Crystals
3rd – 1,000 Premium Crystals
4th – 500 Premium Crystals
5th – 500 Premium Crystals
 
• There will also be as well 5 runner-up prizes for those who didn’t make it in the top votes! Don’t be afraid to be creative!

Show Your Pride During the Swordring!

Friday, January 18 2013 - 8:46 AM
by piopico

 
When battle calls, you often see them rush to the enemy and deliver deadly blows until their target is down. In town, their level of intimidation lives on in the form of dashing auras that provoke onlookers. These soldiers of war are always at the front line, they never hide, and they never stop fighting until they fall in battle. They belong to a specific class that always volunteer for war in the name of their motherland, and make their enemies wish they weren’t fighting against them. They can be giants, they can be tiny, but there is no mistaking they are lethal.
 
From Thursday, January 17th until Sunday, January 27th, take part in the Warriors’ Celebrations: the Swordring!
 

 
From Friday, Warriors from the Gibberling, Kanian, Xadaganian and Orc nations will be able to discover the festivities of their proud class! These Warriors have always been at the front line in wars, and never turn down an opportunity to engage in tough training to stay on top of their art! Although laziness and weakness is an enemy of these soldiers, there is one day allowed to them in which they can shout, drink, and laugh with their peers! There may be some fighting as well; you are a Warrior after all!
 
During the Swordring celebrations, Warriors will be able to exchange their precious special holiday coins for amazing rewards:
 


Ceremonial Warrior’s Helmet: Warriors need to keep their heads protected! Can be sold or traded to other players.
 

Ceremonial Warrior’s Armor: Its impressive appearance inspires respect! Can be sold or traded to other players.
 

Rapid Growth Potion: Do you envy the powerful and musculature? A mouthful of this potion and you are as big as a troll! Can be sold or traded to other players.
 

Who’s tiny now!

If you aren’t a Warrior yourself, don’t look at your comrades with envy as the special items sold by the vendors of the Holiday Committee can be exchanged between characters or sold at the Auction House!
 
This means that you also can dress up as a Warrior to celebrate their holiday!
