I tried to edit the 2nd post above, but kept getting a white box where the editor is. I just wanted to add that this new editor they put on this site is broken. I can't even post anymore without multiple problems.
My theory is that Henrik sacrificed one of his developers to the gods by breaking his back and asked them to prevent you from posting on MMORPG.com. It seems they've attempted to turn quoting others into some type of irritating hell grind to put you off, however it seems the side effect is that we've all been afflicted!
So start saying nice things about SV and it'll get fixed!!!!!
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"
The irony of it all is, that even if *every* bug was out of the game, it still wasn't any good, and Darkfall still bests it in every aspect, even if you compare launch vs launch.
Since the game has not even launched yet this comment proves that you are completely full of shit.
God this editor is terrible...
Anyway, I am "full of shit" because I think that they won't change a whole lot to the game by the time they launch? Again, take away every bug in the game -- the game as it is right now is simply not that impressive. Darkfall beats it on every level -- more deep combat, has seiging, house building, guild organization, etc.
Anyway, you're free to think that I'm "full of shit", and the simple fact that MO hasn't launched *yet* doesn't really mean a lot. Looking back at the last 6 months or so, the amount of progress they've made and features they've added has been underwhelming at best, so in 6 months you got horses and added what, two monsters? There's a whopping total of what, 8 or 10 monsters in the entire game?
If you look at THAT progress... and then think even if MO releases in 6 months from now -- it still won't be half the game Darkfall is. And I don't like Darkfall either.
Actually, I think thrawl said you were full of it because he understood your sentence as comparing the launch of Mortal to the launch of Darkfall. That is an impossible comparison beause the launch of Mortal has not happened yet. If you are saying that the current Beta build is worse than Darkfall was at launch, that is a valid comparison to make (although opinions may vary).

How is the "launch" of MO going to differ from say today? Unlike MO, people were lining up to purchase DFO on release day.

DF was a better launch. If they do launch this month which looking at Henriks post I think they will, it will be maybe the worst shape a game has been in at launch ever. I been a part of some bad ones (not DnL) and from VG to AoC and back there were some bad ones. That said there is a small percentage following this game like there were in those cases. That might be a saving grace in a way for the game to grow. If they push it back then it has a better chance of launching in a good shape.
Was/is DF a better game? Yes ... Is/was DFO more popular? Yes... Even DnL was a better game, seriously!
By "better launch" many of the fanbots are referring to the technical issues associated with going live. (queues,billing issues) MOs sales will be laughable , if any on release day and will have a fraction of the people playing now. How could MO have a poor launch in that regard. If you are referring to number of accounts and quality of the game, then MO has already failed.

They could recover. Will they? Most likely not. I think money is to big of an issue and not enough can be said about the lack of experience. I will look forward to seeing how things play out. Would be nice if they could make a awesome game though.
I'd love for them to get their act together and pull it off, but lets be realistic. I just loaded up MO two minutes ago and they still haven't fixed the lag/sync issue. uuuggh

they have made gains but im thinking they have todelay the lag sync issue might be a engine issue we dont know yet. im sure they will have the sync fixed before release and the lag should be alot better on a newer server with debug mode off
You don't seriously believe the "debug" crap do you? That has to be the oldest play in the book of Inept Developing 101.
So they plan on launching on a new untested cluster? LOL!!!
This is as good as it gets... If MO went live tomorrow with the same number of players, it would be the same gaming experience.( might be better for a day or two due to the database wipe)
Sorry, but I have to call BS on this one... "broken back"? Jesus man, that's a life threatening condition, is he paralysed? Somehow I doubt it's the truth since it's a bit dramatic, however if it is the truth I wish Maerlyn a speedy recovery.
But if they are lying about this -- then I hope they burn in hell.
Because the average lay-persons description of medical conditions is so precise. Especially when communicating in a foreign language.
lol i guess the people full of hate are running out of things to speculate and pick on, lol. They ridiculing a mans description of a medical mishap.

Mo beta isnt on a release server its on a crappy one. hanz why dont you get over your self really man act your age. i really dont understand your thinking.
btw iw asnt sure abotu the debug mode BUt server do run in debug mode i know the impact it can have on a servers performance. go ask swgemu
Mo beta isnt on a release server its on a crappy one
Yes, they must have some new secret super server. This server has been dubbed "LaLa Land" and will be the key to MO success. MO not only performs better in LaLa land, it's a entirely new game. All is wonderful in LaLa land.
If they could provide a better gaming experience during their biggest "marketing" vechicle, don't you think they would. LOL...LOL

What are you talking about and how is the length of open beta relevent??? So you're saying they don"t have another server due to cost?

they have another 1 of course or they have plans on upgrading the current 1.
I mention Ob because of how much you was Wrong. but your acting like you always right
It's pretty obvious they're waiting on the Chinese department they licensed the engine from to finish the work on the desync issues they so desperately need addressed for release.

yea i think they are going todelay. i know the sync issue is alot better for most people
I’ve been reading up on the forums with feedback/suggestions today, some interesting stuff for us to bring up on our next to do list.
The update will be here a bit later tonight, as I’m just waiting for the board to verify the content before we can announce it. It's not as easy to just spend 5 min here and there to give important information as we need to follow the rules on the stock market and the delivers of content from partners. It goes through a few steps before we actually can release the information especially when it is about release and important information regarding the stock market and not only the gamers.
Why I “pre announced” the information about an update was because It was somewhat related to some active threads on the forums which will get some answers. We have always tried to be as active as possible on our community and use the feedback you give as long as it fits our original vision of Mortal Online.

It's 9:30 PM in Sweden currently... Who distributes a press Release or makes a huge (Stock market affecting) announcement this late?
My totally personal hypothesis is that Henrick had to wait until his Dad and the rest of the "Board" got home from their day jobs to read his draft... then they sent it back with red marker on it for corrections... now he's waiting for them to say OK again...
Of course.. since he first announced the announcement something like 4 days ago it's kind of strange that it wouldn't have been prepared and approved in advance... but it seems to be par for the course here.
Anyway.. hang tight I'm hopeful we get the promised announcement before midnight... maybe.

When I looked at the financial report regarding investors I thought it was 90% Henrick anyway. They would have at least 50% control I would assume. . so who is on the "board"? Maybe this isn't the place to ask it but I Thought that is why they didn't want a publisher - so they could stick to their vision.
