Free MMO: Allods Online

Greetings.

A friend of mine pointed me in the direction of a Free MMO called Allods Online.
The game is sort of like Runes of magic where you can play it free till the end but you might need to spend a big of money to get your end of game armor. They aren't really money grabbing from what I've seen so far but I haven't played it to the end.
I started of as a Imperial which is kind of like the Horde in wow or the chaos in warhammer online.

On the Imperial side they have some pretty cool classes.
Here are a few:

Race:Arisen
Archetype/Class:Psionicist
This guy uses mental attacks. One move you get at the start "mental link" gives you options to cause the target periodic damage or! You can get moves which blasts the target taking loads of damage.

Race: Xadaganians 

Archetype/Class: Paladin         

I tried this class out for about 4 levels and 

I liked it. From what I can tell you randomly 

get a barrier to protect you from damage, 

Which is a big help for the likes of tanking

But the one (in my opinion) which looks the coolest is the Arisen Healer. 

He kinda looks like a pharaoh.

(Take note that these are all the end of the game gear.)

I tried this class out and I learnt about the talent tree the game has. 

You assign points into moves. So you basically get 4 starting moves and if you want to actually make him a healer. You assign your talent point into a healing skill. Which your able to do at around Lv 4 which is just past the tutorial.

If you want to sign up, Like I said its totally free and worth checking out

EU Servers: http://en.allods.gpotato.eu/

American Servers: http://allods.gpotato.com/

They have a client that downloads the game but when a friend and I tried to download it from the EU site it had a corrupt file so I suggest you download it from sites like Gamers Hell 

EU Client: http://www.gamershell.com/download_60910.shtml

The EU worked for me but

I haven't tried to download the NA Client but I found this URL on Gamers Hell

US Client: http://www.gamershell.com/download_58724.shtml

Feel free to post feedback.

Aion: Assault on Balaurea Release Date!!

Hey guys,
Went onto the Aion Website earlier today and noticed this headline:

NCsoft Reveals Release Date for Aion’s Highly Anticipated Free Expansion – Aion®: Assault on Balaurea

That's right!... The new expansion featuring pets, new weapons and level cap raised is here!

Here is what was said:

Today, NCsoft, the world's premier publisher and developer of Massively Multiplayer Online games (MMOs), unveiled the official release date for Aion: Assault on Balaurea, the next exciting chapter in Aion that entrenches players into a rich storyline in which their actions will determine the fate of the world. Aion: Assault on Balaurea releases digitally to PCs in North America and Europe on Sept. 7, 2010, however, players looking for retail boxed copies of the full game featuring exclusive in-game pets will find them at select retailers in North America on Sept. 7 and on Sept. 10 in Europe.

In Aion: Assault on Balaurea, the exciting new chapter of Aion, characters have the ability to align together to launch massive counter assaults against the invading Balaur on their homeland while experiencing new and updated instances and zones, an increased level cap, new weapons and items, new skills and added flight mechanics. Characters will not be alone as they explore the new areas, as Aion introduces functional pets equipped with in-game benefits.

Unlike any MMO before it, Aion is a uniquely crafted online gaming experience where flight offers much more than just a way to gracefully explore the landscape - it is a strategic and integral part of combat, quests, and exploration. Players will use flight to dive into battle and plunge through thousands of unique, story-driven quests, all while trying to save and control a world literally shattered in half from centuries of brutal conflict.

I can't wait for this to come out!
I saw a video on youtube a while back that showed player housing. It doesn't say anything here about it but we'll have to wait and see.

 

Browser Pong!

Greetings!
I was sorting my bookmarks out and I came across one called "Browser Pong" that I forgot about, its pretty cool. It actually turns your browser into a game of pong.
