Have to wait and see, but their system specs are far too high. Does not bode well for the game at all.
if your comp cant match the recommended specs, i'm afraid to tell you, you wont be playing any future games at all
Seems we have some illinformed posters here. Do you know what is hot these days? Laptops. How many laptops have a decent graphics card? Less than 5% have a 8800 or equivalent. Most people playing games use the laptop these days, they don't buy a gaming computer! Minimum specs mean barely able to run the game. If you have not figured that out by now I feel sorry for you.
It is obvious to anyone who understands sales figures that this will impact this game.
People who don't have the required hardware are not the target market.
At this point they only plan on having 1 server of 10,000 people... they would like to have more but *shrug* they will leave that up to the customer.
It is probably a heavy statistics problem but:
There are at least 10,000 people with the recommended hardware who want to play this game.
you mean 5 servers with 2000 people per server, the pre-order beta (lol) will start off with 10000 copys, not 1 server with 10000 people.
wrong, they will have one server, they are just letting people in in 2000 batches. Dont post things you do not know.
So do people still pre-order MMORPG's?, I can understand if someone has been in a alpha/beta state of the game, so actualy played the game. But do people really pre-order who have not played the game at all?
When you can't find a quality challenging MMOG to play for 2-3 years, you are willing to take some calculated risks.
My last MMORPG I truly played was SWG, of course played many in between but not in the extend of time I spend with SWG, so overall I could say I been waiting since, still personaly don't see it as a reason to pre-order a game without having played or tested it. As I said I could understand those who already have played.
Maybe it's also because of how forums work, I mean the times I see someone posting how mad he/she is because the pre-order game didn't turn out the way he/she hoped, yet these same people we see in forums yet in another pre-order game and again it turned out bad.
Of course I do hope for those who pre-order the game that the game will be all that, but I personaly simply can not understand it with MMORPG, with singelplayer games if a A-tittle game I could understand it, Or if we knew for a fact that how the game will be released is what the full game IS, remember this is NOT possible with MMORPG as so many changes are handled even during release is kinda a reason why I would never pre-order a MMORPG if I have not played or tested it before.
There is no doubt that almost 80 $US is a hefty price tag but personally... I'm ponying up. This is a small group of developers doing something they are passionate about. I doubt they have bazillions of development dollars. They are very communicative in the forums about the state of things and are ... gasp... human and occassionally make mistakes and they admit when they do and they make reparations and give open explanations. Their game has a lot of features of a lot of the old games I used to play and seem to be really going about it right in creating a world that you wont find answers for online, at least initially, but that you have to learn and explore and uncover as you explore the world. That's pretty cool to me. The "next gen" games everyone keeps hoping for will never come from the Blizzards and the SOEs or EAs or anywhere else because they have to struggle with their investors and dollars and have to have the name (Blizzard) or the IP (Star Wars) or some other hook to show the investors that it should pay off.
These guys, as far as I can tell, are perfectly straight forward in doing what they love. Call me a fanboy or whatever but the case is I've been through my share of disappointing places and worlds that dont hold my interest and have let me down but in this case I'm putting my money where my mouth is to invest in the concept, in the idea, that the small developers with good vision and the right attitude can persist in the face of the industry to create something truly different and groundbreaking.

I have similar feelings.
At worst, I donated ~~$100 dollars to a group of people i've verified are passionate about their project.
It won't be much of a loss to me if things go badly, but then it will be a surprise if that happens... based on what I feel I know of these developers.
Sigh euro same as dollar -_- Euro is only 40 % higher in value -_-
And on top of that they are based an Europe... trying to rip off their fellow Continent-Men.
Lol, do you really know what you are talking about? It is called VAT, which is determined by the Swedish law in this case (+25% for all europeans since they are located in Sweden). So, ripping off who?
Ohh, wait, would that be why all other games are cheaper for the non-europeans than for example the americans? If I buy something from the USA, I have to pat VAT when I buy from EU. DOH, smartass... Please dont post such a dumbass fake facts.
I'm a proud owner of the "Full loot bag - Limited Edition" and Block A beta, woohoo! If you cant afford it, dont whine about it!
Wow for all the fools prepurchasing this game, I have a bunch of bridges to sell you. Those prices are absurd for any MMO, let alone one from a completely unknown developer. If that does not scream out to you to wait and see, I don't know what does.
The really amazing thing, are the posters on here bragging about buying it.

For many its a 'disposable' amount. Anyway It's pretty easy to do credit card chargebacks if the game fails to deliver what they advertise. No big deal really.
"The monthly subscription cost of Mortal Online will be €14.25 for Europeans and $14.25 for everybody else. This cost is subject to change.
The monthly subscription cost includes all future updates and expansions for Mortal Online. No additional costs will be charged for future expansions."
If i preorder and get into a beta block will they charge me 15 dollars every month? Or does the monthly fee apply only after the game is released?

It's been stated numerous times in this thread and others, we did what we want... yet individuals like yourself (you are not alone in your mindset) seem to believe you are right.
That is the key word though... believe.
You don't actually know anything, and a belief doesn't make you right.
If you need confirmation on your beliefs about pre-ordering, I recommend prayer.

yes keep waiting for another Blizzard MMO,. theme park all the way hyh?
I am understanding this right.... ? .... They are asking people to buy the game and pay for a monthly service that is still in Beta testing? I see failure all over this game. Now let me state that I have been following this game for a while now and really really hope it doesn't end like so many others!!! I will watch over the next couple months and see, but NO longer do I dish out 50.00 + bucks for a game that hasn't proven it's worth (i.e. Vanguard, Conan, etc).

Take a chance, and sometimes you do get rewarded.
