Just wanted to post this funny review I just saw on the MO forums
www.mortalonline.com/forums/34143-so-after-5-days-straight-patching-heres-what-i-got.html
WURM ONLINE is like 10 million times the game MO is.... It at least works....
I finally finished installing it after it took several hours to get the thing on my computer
and when I logged in I started outside a town with no screens as to what to do
thankfully my controls works and I walked down the path to the nearest town and went inside and nobody was there.
So I messed around with my Graphic settings and re-logged back in.
I was surprized to see people start appearing out of no where very slowly
I was asking questions in local and was then killed in town
I then managed to figure out how to get alive again thru no help of the community and walked around figuring out the controls
all while enjoying people vanishing and reappearing on my screen for no apparent reason
This game is pre alpha.
I can't even figure out what the point is. It's so broke that if broke equaled fat, it would be rossie o donnel.
Not according to the moderators
This is not a beta, at least in a regular software sense. They are asking the community to do the normal QA job during development. The game is obviously still being developed, and I would gamble that SV does not have many QA people on the payroll.
So as a beta, I would rate it a 2, if it is indeed indicative of the game. Beta typically means the features are there, they've passed initial testing, now bang on it. Beta should not be much different than release.
However, if you believe in SV's vision, and integrity, you may want to support them by helping QA their game; pre-ordering is also a great way to support them. It is not a rip-off if you realize that they are a small indie company competing against the big fish, and need support to finish their product.

other than sever stability and obviuos lack of graphical detail its not too bad. Needs a bit more stable server base... and would love to see a us server to lower my ping time. but overall 6/10.
It sucks being a hardcore player at heart but a casual player in availability. ~NightCloak
Since the server is the only issue with you, could you please explain what content you saw that deserved a 6/10? Have you actually played the game without lag to see what it has to offer yet?
Thanks for the votes everyone. 501 votes so far, I never thought that the poll could get that popular
The lack of a real chat system or any pve content makes the beta extremely boring. I understand how sandbox MMO's work, but right now it's more of an empty box without any sand.
At least shovel some dirt in!
What did you rate it?
I gave it a 3, though on second thought maybe a 4 is a better rating. Great ideas and a great start, but they need more resources to make this game worth playing anytime soon.
They've been doing a lot of shoveling, but it isnt dirt/sand!
I win!!! LOL@U

=P
/agree
Haha, what are they shoveling then?

Fairy dust or crack judging by some of the 10's
I win!!! LOL@U
I didn't get very far, the horrible 1st gen ps2 graphics with incomplete models and such when set to high/max settings kinda turned me off on the spot. If the game uses the UT3 engine(I forget exactly what it uses.) this has to be the most piss poor example I have seen of a game running on it. Needless to say a first impression means alot to me and some other people, I won't be touching this pile of steaming dogcrap again. Open beta=virtually release client, and this game needs at least 3-6 months more of closed beta from what I seen before its ready.
For a rating 2/10, most f2p mmo's get a far higher score for open beta. Rated it this duel to how shoddy the models looked and moved, as well as all the graphica errors i witnessed which shouldn't be in a game this close to release. The Open Beta felt almost like a alpha test to me.
"An MMORPG could be completely diffirent from WoW. Just look at games like Dofus, Wizard101 or EVE. But as it is, most of the Western MMOs are trying to succeed by out-WoWing WoW. It's like an army of 10 sports games made about same sports, and barely none about other sports. WoW clone is an accurate description of those games, it manages to convey much information with only two words."

Rift: World of Warcraft clone #9321 Nothing special to see here move along.
Wait until release and games like Euro gamer will give it a .5/10. It will be pretty entertaining.
Rock the vote
I win!!! LOL@U
Don't rock the vote baby... ROCK THE VOTE
i give it 7/10 the game works amazng and barealy crashes. Get better PCs WOW players. 433 mhz and 256 ram aint gonna cut it anymore
So all of the people posting in the support section of their site need to "get better PCs WOW players" Are you serious? I hope your just joking...

Game crashes in beta is an excuse when the game is releasing in a few weeks? When is that miracle patch getting released... its been 8 months now and the game has had the same problems it did when it started block A in the closed beta. I do not understand how you people can think the entire game, all the bugs, all the content, all the exploits and hackers can be fixed in a few weeks when they had 8 months to fix it.
What he means to say is your view is completely biased and the errors and problems people are having have nothing to do with the computer you are using, they are errors in the application itself. People expect errors in beta but this beta is absolutely unplayable and your analogy to wetting your fingers has absolutely no relevance.
That's what he was trying to say... just slightly less eloquently.
