Yup.. they promise (again) that THIS time they have the lag issues fixed!
Monday's patch will be almost exclusively dealing with the desync / performance issues and critical bugs. This should hopefully solve most of the problems you guys are experiencing at the moment.

All time classic MY NEW FAVORITE POST! (Keep laying those bricks)

Doubt this patch will fix it. Bet you $5 that the patch will be delayed at least 1 day, maybe 2.
Nah that isn't a miracle patch. Sadly, the lag and crashes are only the start of MO's problems. Even if they do manage to solve all the crashing and lag issues in one fel swoop, there's still an absolutely enormous amount of content that is missing, broken or unfinished. Expect a miracle patch #3 and 4.
I just hope that once they launch they can hire some more people. With the amount of trying to figure things out and "we think this will work" I just don't see how all of the future content can be added without major setbacks. . that won't be okay after release. test server I guess. . but without a large population of players things will be missed. .test server would be a "let's see what we can exploit once the new (fill in the blank) system is released.
I liked playing the game. . but every new feature added new issues etc. Saying it is a small team and that it is beta is fine. . but it can't be forever.
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
Indeed.. Those of us who have been in it since the start of Block A (the closed beta) have seen this happen every single time they try making any kind of change.
They just don't have what it takes to program a game of this magnitude. They should stick with writing tic-tac-toe clones
I have seen the exact same stuff you have.
Why the hell do you name it miracle patch!?
Because Mortal Online will need a miracle patch if it is to reach retail standard.

Mortal Online will need bug fixing patchesh as this one to reach it's Intended standard.
You can burn me, but i wont die.
How can they say its fixed until its tested for real on the server we play on right now?
what content? When they started closed beta phase in July they told everyone what will be on release. They have ticked everything on that list and more. The problem is that it is broken in places.
I havent seen a game to give players more freedom in a 3D, zoneless, instances-free game world.
When something is new and never done before there are ment to be a lot of issues. When an indie dev studio is behind it then expect even more issues.

And when that "indie" developer has never programmed anything in their life before, expect it to be a failure.
Oh yea, and if you haven't seen such freedom, you really need to play more games.
What is the "new" launch date??
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
Wait for the latest newsletter.

what are you talking about, the only other game is Darkfall or Ultima online (very old) who attempted to do what MO does. That is it.

EVE doesn't give players a lot of freedom? Ryzom? UO? DF? SWG pre cu? Hell, even WOW gives more freedom than MO does, because there are actually tools in the game that work to make your own experience. Is it a "theme park"? Sure it is -- but it offers more freedom than MO does because it actually has the tools behind it.
MO isn't a sandbox, it's a box with dirt in it, and no tools to build anything.

I think a deal with the devil couldn't save MO online

I said Darkfall and UO because they are closest to MO, everything either does not exist (eg SWG pre-cu) or is a completely different type of game (eg EvE) or just ancient. The only new games we have are MO and DF and with DF it is not really close to UO as MO is.
It does not matter that devs have no experience, you have to start somewhere, and no, making phone games first is not the way to go...
Promise? I think you need to look up the definition of the word.
If WoW = The Beatles
and WAR = Led Zeppelin
Then LotrO = Pink Floyd
Because it keeps the people who can't read between the lines that this game is a major disappointment, indie developer or not.
Throw your money at them, sooner or later they might fix it or not - who knows. Gambling is fun.

Care to list those sandbox choices that are in WoW please. Just wondering what you consider to be a choice in a game, it may help explain why you have issues with MO.

Want to craft? Go do gathering of resources, spend all day getting those resources and making stuff to sell in the auction house.
Want to adventure? Go join a random party, go explore some dungeon.
Want to PvP? You can do battlegrounds, or you can do Arena.
Now, I'm not saying that WOW is a sandbox by any means -- I'm just saying they provide more tools for you to do what you want to do, or at least OPTIONS, than MO does. MO throws you in the world and says "use your imagination" because the NPCs don't work, thieves are annoying, and the only difference is if you kill them you can get some free stuff they just stole from you. Oh you can PvP -- but it doesn't mean anything. At least in WOW you can PvP and it means something because you get access to a dungeon, or specific items as PvP rewards or whatever. And the saddest thing of all -- WOW's PvP system is more in depth and skillful than MO's. Yes, I said it, go cry about how I should "go back to wow noob". I actually like WOW, for a different type of game. I was hoping MO would replace my want for UO. UO is a better game 10 years ago than MO is today. I will continue waiting for the next great UO replacement -- right now, DFO is probably the closest but the PvP sucks bigtime, so I can't bother with it. UO's emphasis was on singular PvP skill and teamwork as a bonus to that. MO has no skill in their PvP system because it's so poorly designed, and their teamwork can't be accomplished ingame because there are NO TOOLS FOR IT.
Anyway, I am certain that people will pick up on the fact that I said WOW is better than MO, so I'll just wait until they respond so I can laugh at how horrible their arguments will be as a response. "GBTWOW NOOB" is about as intelligent as they can usually muster so let's see if I'm wrong and they can actually give me a proper defense of MO's combat versus UO, DF, or WOW.

there, you have hit the nail on the head - complete freedom as compared to MO
where you are allowed to make one choice and one choice only
anyway, back to the patch
yes, miracle is the word to use for this patch - it really will be a miracle to those trying to play/beta this game if the patch actually does as "promised"
haven't played since pitch black night was badly cobbled onto the game - have no idea where i am and i have no torch to see by and every time i log on it is night

No man, cause a lack of features IS a feature! MO is fun to play because theres nothing to do but use the vastness of your imagination!
He who keeps his cool best wins.

If MO fials there is always http://www.dawntide.net/
Darkfall failed in my oppion. Im not sure if MO can pull through.
Sometimes its good to think deep. Some times it good just to play games.
