My dog ate your homework.

.. at least for me, so if anyone is in open beta or has some more info please resopond!

Does Allods have any of the following:

1) Open PvP

2) Viable leveling through PvP only (or mostly). In short, do you get decent xp for player kills? And can you PvP from low rank or do you have to "learn your class" and "earn your spurs" by killing 1000's of dumb mobs?

3) Open world or some kind of follow the A-B-C road?

4) Territorial warfare in open world? (taking keeps, resources, towns etc for your guild/faction)

5) Some kind of sidekick/boost system so I don't get separated from my friends just because I can't spend exactly the same amount of time on the game as they do?

... and I saw instanced PvP mentioned. How many arenas/bgs are there? Are they available from early level? Can you get XP from them?

Oh and yes... crafting? Anything interesting there?

Their webpage is very prettily done but its severely lacking in basic information. Yes we all know their game is "revolutionary" and has "thousands of quests" and all the drivel about gfx and animation and "original "epic" story"... just like absolutely every MMO ever published.  I couldn't care less about those tbh. Please gimme hard info on stuff that will really impact my gameplay.

Thnx in advance!

1) Yes. In fact there's only open PvP so far, b/c battleground-like instanced scenarios aren't yet in game.

2) No. PvP starts at 22-23 when you arrive to the first contested zone. Until then it's PvE-only. PvP awards no XP (only rating towards next PvP rank).

3) Mostly A-B-C road though it might be subject to change later when they implement end-game content (because Astral is supposed to be open but again - it's not there yet).

4) Nah. Right now it's 100% themepark. Think of pre-Naxx vanilla WoW and you'll get the picture.

5) No. And you'd better keep up with your friends b/c solo-leveling is near impossible for many classes.

6) Arena is "free-for-all" essentially. It's not instanced AFAIK.

7) I might be wrong but to me professions look very similar to WoW. It's hard to get a second one though (5-6 months of daily quests).

8) I absolutely fail to see how the game is revolutionary (or even evolutionary) in its current state. It's a dumbed down WoW clone (to everyone: feel free to argue with me if so you wish, but I've been there and seen that).

9) 99% of quests are "kill X of something", "gather Y of something" or "activate Z of something".

10) Graphics is worse than WotLK and definitely worse than WAR.
