Gala-Net announced their second Closed Beta Test (CBT) for Allods Online in the North American market. The second CBT will run from December 1st through December 15th and will enhance the user experience with brand new content.While still allowing players to play both League and Empire factions, all 28 classes, Closed Beta #2 will also feature six new zones: two new zones for the League, three new zones for the Empire, and an exclusive zone only available to the Warden archetype. The second CBT will also include a new diverse set of enemies (Massive Drakes, Harpies, Scorpions, and Arctic Yetis), comprehensive character customization through unique talent grids and talent trees, and an increased level cap to Level 20. The saga between the warring factions of the League and Empire continues to grow as players immerse themselves through the 300 new story-driven quests revealed in Closed Beta #2.
The first CBT release was met with universal praise and generated tremendous feedback from the gaming community:
“The art style of a game, no matter what some people might say, is a big deal in any first impression. Well, consider me impressed because I was blown away by the graphics in this game. I've always felt ‘stylized’ graphics were a good idea, to help with the longevity, but it works especially well in Allods because it's combined with some realism…I mean, we're talking about award-winning artists here, and I can honestly say that I haven't seen art in an MMO that has stopped me in my tracks this many times since Guild Wars.” – Shawn Schuster, Editor, Massively.com
