Obsidian working on new Free-to-Play MMORPG with Allods Online Devs
Not content with their recent $3.986,929 Kickstarter success Project Eternity, Obsidian Entertainment has been announced as the co-developers of an upcoming free-to-play MMO Skyforge. What's more, the developers will be working in conjunction with Allods Online developer Allods Team.

News of the MMO broke at the KRI 2013, a Russian Game Developer's Conference I admittedly have never heard of. There was an accompanying press release regarding the announcement, but it's in Russian. If by fate and happenstance one of you speak Russian, feel free and read the writeup here and let us all know what it says.
The video above is an announcement trailer for the game that came out back in 2012, before Obsidian had become involved in the project. You can catch a glimpse of the gameplay if you start the video at 7 minutes.
Thanks, PCGamer.

Anyone who's played Neverwinter can tell you just how confusing the MMO's currency system really is.

The update also changes the duration of ranked matches on PC.
Elixir and Transcendence changes are indeed included.
No, we still don't have updated timing on the game's publisher transition.
Solo offline mode will be available if you own the title, but you better grab it soon if you want it.

I'm not interested in this game, so maybe another player from Russia will translate some new information.
He says he's happy to take part in such a big and interesting project and that he's confident they will succeed in making a superb quality game.
Then the Allods team come in saying that Skyforge is the biggest video game project in russian history and that they are sure that they are going to and are currently setting MMO standards, and that no russian developer has ever before worked with such a high profile foreign company.
Also from what I get, the game will have 15 unique classes, and have no levels, so there will be some other kind of progression that could be related to something else other than experience. I could be wrong since russian isn't even my 3rd language. ~~
