As you might know from other f2p games, there mostly is an introduced itemshop system to gather some income. That's what recently happened on Allods Online. Usually a normal thing, it came like a bombshell. Why? The shop-prices of the items can only be described as astronomical.
They are so high, that most of the community thought it has to be a mistake, that there is one zero too much at the price. The middle pocket which gives you just six more spaces in the inventory, costs already 20 Dollars. To get a stage ten rune, you would have to pay 6.890 Dollars.
Now there has already been an official statement regarding the prices. gPotato is explaining that the biggest failure was, not to tell the community earlier about the itemshop. They are also aware about the disagree of the players about that high prices, and will eveluate the prices in the next weeks.
gPotato also points out, that the game is well playable without the shop items, and that much of them are also available ingame. The players call for boycott.
