-The Allods Team

Dear Sarnaut,

Allods Team & My.com are proud to introduce Cloud Pirates, a new action multiplayer game set in the Allods Universe!

As the League and Empire fight insurmountable odds in their battle against the Architects – desperately hoping to prevent the destruction of their homeland – every combatant knows that, win or lose, war is inevitable in this volatile world. However, not all battles involve the factions of Sarnaut, as even the great cataclysm encouraged pirates to traverse the splintered astral universe and plunder its endless treasures, far beyond the strife of Sarnaut.

To this day, astral ships manned by rogue operatives, hunters, raiders and explorers can be found wandering the astral – charting its endless depths, salvaging long lost battlecruisers, and preying on other astral travellers. No ship is safe and no screams can be heard from the farthest corners of astral space...

Members of the League and Empire, so focused on the survival of their own homeland, have not had the opportunity to witness the sheer magnitude of unexplored realms and continents that await them in the astral... There are stories and rumours, even fairy-tales for children, but the militant life of adults prevents them from discerning fact from fiction for themselves.

On the other hand, dream catchers with no ties to a single allod know all too well!

Are you prepared to explore the unknown?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BdRVbmnQWE

Cloud Pirates gives you the chance to break away from the official wars of Sarnaut and rule the skies instead! Take command of your very own customizable pirate airship, battle rival captains amongst the clouds and blaze a trail through the Allods universe in your bid to becoming a legendary Cloud Pirate!

Do you and your squadron have what it takes?

Cloud Pirates will be heading your way later this year, yet you can still be among the first to take your ship to the skies and blast your enemies by signing up for the Beta![pirates.my.com]

Oh, and don't forget to bring your friends – a great captain always has a great crew at their back!

-The Allods Team

Dear Sarnaut,

Sharpen your blades and wipe the dust from your spell-scrolls – we're bringing the fight to your very doorstep once again, bigger and better than before!

We're happy to announce our second "Circle of Equals" – a competition suited to its name – where you'll have the chance to compete with fellow PvP enthusiasts on even-footing, in a bid to win crystals, bragging rights, and a unique title.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldE67oJmvLE


To achieve this, we'll be creating a special tournament server dedicated solely to the "Circle of Equals" event, allowing players to create a maximum level character right off the bat. Furthermore, full sets of equipment, gems and various consumables will be openly available from NPC vendors, thus ensuring all created characters are completely equal.

Unlike the previous tournament, this one will now be international, meaning that representatives from both Russian and European servers will cross blades. Anyone who wishes to take part can do so – there are no exceptions.


Circle of Equals: Rewards

Victory in this tournament is not just a question of prestige, but also the chance to win valuable prizes and gifts!

For a start, all finalists from the European and Russian regions (24 players each) will receive 100 premium crystals. In addition, all players who are rated in the top 120 will be awarded with a temporary Holy Weapon, and anyone who plays at least 10 battles in the tournament will receive 100 premium crystals.

1st place team — each member receives 40,000 premium crystals, a unique title and permanent champion's rune.
2nd place team — each member receives 30,000 premium crystals and a unique title.
3rd place team — each member receives 20,000 premium crystals and a unique title.


If any of the winning teams come from Smuggler's Paradise, they will be rewarded in Subscription time appropriately.

[28/08] - Training fights (those will not affect the rating).
[30/08, 01/09, 06/09] - Qualifying round in Russia (8 winning teams).
[30/08, 01/09, 06/09] - Qualifying round in Europe (8 winning teams).
[10/09, 17/09] - Semifinal & Final of the double elimination system (including a second chance for losers).

Spread the word amongst your friends and allies - it's time to put together your dream team! If you wish to live-stream the tournament, feel free to get in touch with your respective Community Manager and we'll provide you with the necessary arrangements.

That's not all! If we manage to get a total of 150 "likes" across all languages on this news through Facebook, the "Victory Trumpets" will sound across Sarnaut, increasing Signs of Victory gain from PvP by 100%.
