Individual character permadeath is so yesterday, right? An upcoming title, ECO, dares to think even bigger, proposing "server-wide permadeath" if players can't band together and stave off global disaster.

The Daily Grind: Which MMO is less popular than you expected?

227
I'm not sure why Allods Online barely registers with western gamers. It's pretty, it's a well-made themepark MMO, and it has a couple of unique features, chief among them nifty aerial exploration gameplay. Maybe it was the gaudy cash shop prices way back in 2010, before free-to-play and exploitative business models became the norm. Maybe it was the fact that deep...
