Tradeable Item Shop Currency Coming to Allods

A new tradeable Item Shop currency called Gem Shards will soon be added to the North American version of Allods Online. In a nutshell, new items called Pouches of Gem Shards will be sold in the Item Shop for real money. Once purchased, they can be sold on the Auction House or given to other characters. Gem Shards can be used to buy items in the Item Shop, which gives players an alternate way to obtain these items without using cash.

According to the announcement, this new system will be convenient and help balance the in-game economy:

"This will also help stabilize the amount of gold that certain items from the Item Shop are worth since supply and demand will have less of an impact. No longer will a player have to wait until someone auctions that Advanced Arisen Underwear they’ve been wanting, at which point they decide to purchase it at whatever price in gold is asked to avoid missing out on the item altogether. Instead, a player could buy any Pouches of Gem Shards that may be on the auction house and then use the Gem Shards to buy whatever they choose, however unusual the item may be."
