The fourth Allods Online closed beta test doesn't end until Feb. 3, but that hasn't stopped the team from squashing bugs and adding new content with the launch of the version 5 update. You can read the lengthy patch notes after the jump. We still have keys available, so grab one today if you'd like to take part in CBT #4 before it ends next week.

In addition, gPotato has renamed the servers. Server One is now known as Tensess, while Server Two goes by the name of Nezeb. Which server are you on?

Each time a character dies, they will receive another Fear of Death effect that can stack up to 4 times. The effect duration changes based on the character’s level.
