part of Allods Online fans are very… VERY unhappy since the new patch was installed on game servers. NA and EU Official forum communities are boiling. In fact,the patch is not that bad: many bugfixes, several nice interface and gameplay changes etc. There are really three changes that turned so many players from euphoria to despair:
Patch 1.00.05 least liked features

1) Fear of Death effect. It lowers your stats for some time after resurrection. The higher your level the longer the time when you feel yourself not like a great hero but more like a small chicken. At highest level this time is about 40-50 minutes. Stat reduction of 25% make char nearly worthless.
