After the recent community backlash, gPotato has finally updated the Allods Online item shop

A couple weeks ago, the Allods Online player community wasn't happy after the MMO's publisher, gPotato, opened its micro-transaction item shop. As we mentioned back then, 94 percent of players polled thought the price of items in the cash shop were excessive, compared to other MMOs. In response to the backlash, gPotato asked its player community for feedback and announced that it was "actively working on new pricing options to accommodate the masses," according to ZAM's follow-up report.

On March 3, gPotato launched the updated version of the item shop and posted an announcement on the offical Allods Online Web site, detailing the changes: "We’ve made significant adjustments to many item categories, from perfumes and crystal chips to containers and the holy rune," according to the post. "These changes were made after significant analysis, review of the community feedback, and discussion with our developer. We’re confident that many of you will respond positively to the changes."

In addition to the significant reduction of various item prices (check out the complete list after the jump), gPotato is offering refunds to players who bought items prior to the update: "Those who previously purchased Allods item shop goods before the changes went live will be compensated for the difference between the original and revised prices in gPotatoes for their purchases," according to the post. "This covers item shop purchases from between February 19th and Mar 3rd (9:05am PST)." gPotato is asking customers to contact billing@gala-net.com if their accounts are not credited to reflect the refunds within one week.

Allods Online updated item shop details, according to gPotato's recent announcement:

• Vial of Perfume reduced from 75gP to 25gP
