Check out an early draft video showing common NPCs/patrolling guards feature which will be present in towns later.

While it looks wonderful , it's just another prerendered and scripted video lacking any real game footage.
To avoid any possible confussion, heres the real thing filmed a few days ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6eerzBJ9_8#t=4m23s
A lie which is half a truth is ever the blackest of lies.
yes that is likely scripted. It is what they would like to happen but they do not have the AI where they want it. This is the reason the capital Tindrem had not been opened.
I only point this out because "what is planned" is not what is currently in the game and it could be misleading. This has been planned for the entire development time. Who knows how close they are. maybe they will have it in. . I would be pleasantly suprised.
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
but at the bottem it says you are under the guards protection...
so obviously its real time.
Im sure they hope to make it reality someday, just figured it prudent to clarify in light of things like this.

Hate anyone to purchase the game based on either video.

Are you implying this is actual game footage?

If only it really did look like that in game currently. One of the biggest immersion killers for me so far has been the fact that all the NPCs look the same and just stand there completely motionless...
If towns actually looked like this, I would be much more into it.
It's ingame footage. They need to fix performance issues/AI bugs before we see that and need to activate high res I guess
Yeah, I posted this on the MO forum as well. "in game" means different things to different people. Scripted and using the engine is "in game" for some but if you can't see it "in game" with what is currentlly available then it is not really "in game footage" for some.
I hope they can have this at release. . of course what you will actually see is that plus a bunch of players running around. . maybe one following the guards naked mocking them
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
Looks really nice.
Lets hope it will be in on release day.
Who knows what surprices they might have for us.
LOL...Just like this video they made 2.5 years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYsUi80jOE4
Im still waiting for that game.

That looks amazing. Sadly, this is a pretty good example of why I don't listen to hype from the devs of any game.
Yes it does and its why 10000 people pre-ordered. Sadly that isnt the current game and may never be.

Going back to the topic at hand, the townlife teaser is a lot closer than you may think. It looks better because of high res being turned on there, the only other new things we see are a couple more NPCs added with emotes and the patrolling guards. There's no reason why this couldn't be reality in a couple of months.
This. Many of the emote animations (not counting them walking around) are already in game, and clearly all the assets are finished (or close), so I don't see why this is such a far shot.
The NPCs still stand in place, they do however have many different skins, which was told many times before that the current models are place holders. (It isn't very hard to skin a model) Which is apparent now and a big "I told you so" from MO fans to the current haters. There is tons of different models available and even a distinction between good npcs and bad npcs. They also have many animations.
This video isn't far from being true at all. The ingame graphics are very close to that, the models are close as well. The only thing not working is the AI which is only a matter of time.
It "may" look like that at some point, but the fact is it doesnt now and thats my point. .
Thanks

No one claimed it was.
Thats for sure!!! Still waiting for it to look like the April 2008 video.

Please stop trolling. We get that you have a serious problem with SV and their game, but you can't possibly believe that these things you're saying are constructive, fair, or without ill intent.
Not sure what youre talking about!!! How is talking about what the GAME IS NOW vs what it may or may not be in the future trolling? This really has nothing to do with opinion, it is what it is. I also want MO to look like the OP video or the one from 2+ years ago, but the true is it doesnt! How is pointing that fact out not constructive? Would you rather someone buy the game based on these videos, then go what the heck is this?
A lie which is half a truth is ever the blackest of lies.
This is true. . it is an AI issue. The devs have made lots of comments about the AI and how they want it to look. I have no doubt that they could have them walk around but they want it to be a bit more than that I think. Not sure if I stated it here but Matts has said that is why Tintrem is on hold. . they can't get the AI to work the way they want to give the city life. They seem to bite off more than they can chew - but if they didn't it would just be another boring MMO. I still hope for the best but would take something in the middle for now
Wa min God! Se æx on min heafod is!
then you might like the current buildAnd I agree about the whole 'biting off more than they can chew'... a lot of this is probably caused by their tendency to over-communicate. there's always a couple devs lurking in IRC, and they all post somewhat regularly on the forums. Problem is, devs can get sloppy and forget that every word uttered by a dev will be speculated upon for much, much longer than any statement warrants.

Who would purchase a game based entirely on watching a teaser video? The video in question is clearly labelled a 'preview' video, which means it shows features not yet in game. Finally, your posts were clearly not meant to inform potential customers.
edit for messed up quote formatting
How many people preordered MO while the NDA was still up??? What else would they base their purchase on? Other than to promote the game, why else would SV make it?
Not sure why you take issue with facts over conjecture.
6 Days and 9 hours from release does the game look like that? NO
Will the game look like that at some point? Maybe
Not sure what you are taking issue with... Im sorry MO doesnt look like the video!!!

Again, no one claimed the preview to be currently in-game; I'm not sure what you're taking issue with.
I'm not saying the game looks like same as in that video, but npc:s haven't been motionless for months now and there IS lots of variety in their clothing and looks.
