This month some of the staff and I have been participating in the closed beta of Allods Online. Allods is an MMORPG designed by GPotato. Like most MMOs out there it has its two choices of factions, in this case the factions are League and Imperial. We have focused on the Imperial faction as we liked the look of the races better.
The faction is composed of three different races; these are The Arisen (a robotic Egyptian lookalike), The Xadaganians (a human looking race) and The Orcs. One thing about this game is that only certain races may choose certain classes. The classes are Mage, Healer, Summoner, Warrior, Scout, Paladin, Psionicist and Warden. So far the classes I have tried have been the Scout, Mage and the Paladin. The scout is a ranger style of class, unlike in other MMOs where the scout may be both rogue and ranger. This put me off the class as I prefer melee dps. The mage class was my next choice because it had been a while since I played a caster type in an MMO. The class has quite strong dps (damage per second) but if you do not enjoy casting times you may find yourself rerolling like I did. At the moment I have settled on the Paladin class. It has strong melee dps while receiving little damage from mobs due to tanking ability. It is a good all round class and have stuck with it so far.
The game itself can be compared with many other MMOs out there but for a game that will be released for free (no subscription or purchase fee) I believe it has a lot of potential. The graphics are good, questing is fun and the play style is really enjoyable. We all had a good laugh at the Arisen due to its /sleep emote. Not going to spoil the surprise there, if you want to see it check the game out.
Closed beta continues till the 3rd of February and I am sure that the open beta will follow close behind. |

As part of our ongoing changes as we move from an EvE only focus to more general gaming, our new forums are now live. Just click the forums link above to access them.
We have wiped the slate clean, so you will need to re-register. The categories have been rebuilt from stratch and we think we have forums for the most popular games. If we have missed something, feel free to post up and we'll get it fixed!! We are also working to make other styles/templates available that you can pick from your control panel, so you will be able to have one that suits you.
Work is also ongoing to upgrade the main website, which is currently making Codey28 turn gray - be kind to him if you see him in IRC!! |

Over the past few months we have noticed more and more people in our IRC channel are no longer playing EvE, but are also playing a wide range of other games. In light of this, we have decided that we will no longer focus on EvE as a community station, but instead we will expand to cover other games.
Therefore, we are looking for DJ's who play any internet based game, as well as new listeners of course!! If you think you fit the bill, our new DJ application form is now live. We will be revamping the website and forums to cater for this over the next month, so make sure you check back frequently for the latest news and to see whats changed!! |

Over the past few weeks we have had a number of staff changes which have unfortunately left gaps in our schedule. Having looked at the times when people are tuning in, we have taken the decision to concentrate our resources on the times of 1900GMT to 0700GMT Monday to Friday and all day Sat/Sun. This should hopefully mean that we have DJ's on at the times that the most people want them! Unfortunately, this does mean that the Jukebox will be taking over the dayshift on NER of 0700 to 1900GMT during the week.
We hope this will be a temporary measure, but for this to be the case, we need MORE DJ's - if you are interested, please check out the requirements and apply today, Gunner and his recruitment team are waiting for you!!!!! |
