"Omg, invasion of newbs threads.
The absence of quest actually is a feature of MO.
It's a sandbox game. Use your imagination.
Below are some suggestion for newbs that are used to themepark games but you disapoint me here mnemi since your a second life fan and there is no "quests" in that game, you do what you want."
/facepalm

unless what you want to do is do quests and in that case you can't do what you want.
oh my god you just broke the sandbox!
The lack of crafting in STO is also a feature...
The dude is on crack. Who here spends thousands on gaming gear to "use their imagination"??? That's what you do when all you have is a block of wood and a magic marker.
OK,
good thing u made once again a new topic about, hmm topic in other forum.
I guess it's the only meaning of this forum since half of topics seem to be copies from official forum, most of them even have link to original one -.-
Just discussing how delusional fans of the game are
A legit potential player asks the question " what is the point of the game, there are no quests"
And fans answer him "absence of quests is A FEATURE"
that is indeed thread worthy when individuals like these actually try to hook possible paying customers with attempts such as these
that is what I would call a laughingstock
please.. its there for everyone to read what this game is about, so you didnt get another quest based themepark get over it.

So by your logic the fact that there are no ships are a feature because you know...you can swim
and no flying mounts because you can walk
and there are no buildable walls because well why have a wall - its a feature to just walk forward and not have a wall
Why have siege equipment when its a feature to just shoot a house with bow and arrow
and so on and so forth
are you guys serious?
laughingstock

You took something out of the context it was applied to and expect people to see things your way.
Why?
The game was meant to be that way from the get go, anyone who read the MO forums before they even started testing the game knew this.
Rise above hate.
Ignore fan boys.

like i said its there for you to read what this game has and doesnt have, now or planned for future. and yea its afeature to not have quests like they have in good ol` (insert your favorite themepark).
about those things you mentioned, im pretty sure ive seen siege weapons in video but in the end it seems nothing is enough for you and thats kinda sad because you know.. you cant get it all.
Well.. following your advice I went to the FEATURES tab on the main website found here; http://www.mortalonline.com/features
It would appear that the vast majority of those features are not in the game. No where on the FEATURES tab does it tell anyone that they are not in the game. See... when I go to the website for a game I am interested in and click on the FEATURES I kind of expect them to exist. I know they posted a blub on their forums about what they consider core features that will be in at launch, but their FEATURES tab is misleading at best and downright dishonest at worst...

That video that shows things that are not in the actual game?
Perhaps you should keep looking at the video instead of you know paying 100 bucks for a game that does not have what the hype video had. You know the one that got everyone to buy the preorders.
My point still stands, the pole is quite high

That's something I said a long time ago, glad you brought it up.
SV did interviews to the effect of showing off their brilliant ideas and what will be in the game, the complex dueling systems, the complex magic systems, amazing housing, blah blah blah. In every interview, you'd see Henrik or Mats talking up the game, its features, and what we as players were going to expect. The powerpoint was full of "epic PvP" and "it takes real skill" that echoed all their interviews and comments in IRC, so a lot of people were duped into taking the plunge.
The point that the features tab still shows most of this disinformation is really a testament to the point that they were dishonest, but I won't let that get in the way of folks who believe everything SV says. But it's nice to see that others feel the same way I do.

ofcourse they arent its still tagged as in beta and those are promised live features it would seem we can have this talk when game is released the features for BETA are there somewhere i cant be bothered to look it up for you.
and by that feature list only beef you should have is with next gen graphics if even that cause i havent seen that kinds graphics any other game.

we can talk more when came is tagged as LIVE right now your argument is invalid because its in BETA and all the features promised to me to be in BETA are ingame.you can stand your point all you like but its just nonsense
so think i just snapped that one

seems like you saw bit too much in rainbow when you read about the game. i havent seen these interviews myself where complex magic system or amazing housingis told.
i mean how complex you though magic was going to be ? how complex you think it can go before it gets too complex?`amazing housing.. how amazing those houses can be really?
you bought into your own hype its not SV `s fault that you expected to play the messiah game.

Just like those doctored videos that show things that arent ingame eh...me thinks its you that expected to play the messiah game after being brainwashed by the great SV marketing machine.

why are you so bothered with live features that arent in beta ?(not that i know what features you actually mean) and no i dont expect anything i know this game is for me ive seen it myself you people just make it sound worse than it is.

ofcourse they arent its still tagged as in beta and those are promised live features it would seem we can have this talk when game is released the features for BETA are there somewhere i cant be bothered to look it up for you.
and by that feature list only beef you should have is with next gen graphics if even that cause i havent seen that kinds graphics any other game.
So you are saying that there features are still planned to be in for launch (in a few days)? These are the ones missing from the game currently:
----------------------------------------------
Is your goal to face a legendary monster? Well, that is usually suicide – if you can find one. But if your guild would actually manage to kill one, it’s dead. Gone. Rare monsters and quests do not resurrect or come again, whether it’s an ancient beast, a crumbling temple, an island rising out of the sea or a great ritual that fails or succeeds.
As far as I know there are NO quests in the game yet and there are no legendary mobs. As a matter of fact there is almost zero PvE except for some wildlife that shows incredible AI by running away when someone approaches (or 50% of the time standing there unmoving while being attacked)
----------------------------------------------
You might get away with an item never seen before, or the unique scar that tells about the experience. There are not many of these opportunities but they are usually important enough to affect the whole world and its history. All you have to do is be at the right place at the right time.
Unique scar? Really? Your characters appearance will permanently change after this encounter? Hmm... nope.. don't think that's in yet. Epic encounters that change the world? Hmm.... think those are missing too...
----------------------------------------------
form a guild with others that desire a keep and eventually a fortress.
Are player built keeps in game? Are Fortresses? Anything other than houses?
----------------------------------------------
Choose to believe in one of the Gods and watch its power grow. Fight heretics and burn their temples to rob their Gods of power. Or start a new cult: with enough believers your God might be powerful enough to enter the Pantheon.
Hmmm.. if this stuff is in game let me know..... Anyone fight any heritics? Burn any temples? Start a cult? Sounds great!
-------------------------------------------
Explore the world to discover new places and name them. Venture into ancient caves and temples to find the buried history of the world, including its forgotten knowledge, spells and items
So anyone find and name a new area yet? Anyone discover hidden spells or items in an ancient cave or temple? Yes I know people have found empty caves by wandering around.... but that's all they are.. empty

-------------------------------------------------
they should be havent heard anything about removing features ,as whats in game cant say for certain i myself tried to keep playing on minumum so i dont burn myself out wich happens too often that id like
features listed in beta last line says hidden/secret content wich is another cool feature on it self, think you might find something really neat that is all to yourself and decision to share is in you
as i remember they said no fortress in launch. housing is in, so there might do somewhat the same thing for now... guild populating same area and holdign ground should work.
i dont think they released launch date yet ?
obviously one part of game is the joy of discovery i cant see why they would let everythign be discovered in beta
ofcourse they arent its still tagged as in beta and those are promised live features it would seem we can have this talk when game is released the features for BETA are there somewhere i cant be bothered to look it up for you.

as opposed to discovering the you know actual game we will let you discover that after we put off 90% of the customers with a crap alpha/beta that does not qualify as one
yes that joy of discovery will be humongous for the 9 of you playing.
now to save yourself the anguish: if its not there its because it does not exist; in beta or at launch.
These are the launch features from digging through their forum:

THIS is what should be listed on the FEATURES page... the rest should be listed in the Coming Soon (or some undetermined time in the future) section. As I said above.. that Features Page is currently misleading at best and dishonest at worst...

Hey, didnt Elder Scrolls have Quest even though its Sandbox RPG game?
Rune Scape?
The yellow text is probably the funniest line of text I've ever seen on these forums. I even posted it to facebook. Thanks for the laugh Angrysully. I needed it after looking at what Mortal Online COULD HAVE been in capable hands. I'm still waiting for my limited edition set to come in the mail.

Hope you enjoy your limited edition set of nothing coming in, since you know..its basically worthless since there is no patching system on your $100 box.
