No I do not. Almost 6 minutes of video and only about 30 seconds of PvP combat? And the little that was shown was a couple of guys swinging at each other.
Magic in combat?
Ranged combat?
Different moves besides just slashing with your weapon?
And where is the PvE combat? All I saw was fighting some dog/wolf for 5 seconds.
If this is what MO got to offer, as PvP and PvE, then its a joke. An (empty) 3D engine does not make a PvP MMORPG.
I just can't get over how crappy the trees are in this game. The sky, water and mountains are all beautiful, but the foliage and trees are the worst I have seen in any MMO.
I realize they are hoping for Speedtree but that may never happen because of performance issues.

The other thing that bugs me about this game is that there are MASSIVE open spaces with simply nothing in them, totally bare and barren it looks so cheap.
What a dreadfully boring video. The first 3 minutes are just of you walking around an empty landscape with absolutely nothing to do and nothing to interact with. Oh sorry I forgot there is that bit where your horse drinks from a trough.......oh and you light a torch in a cave.
I'm a pretty patient person. I enjoy films that are slow paced and dont need action shoved in my face all the time. The same applies to games. However isnt the point of this video to advertise Mortal Online? There is a brief moment of a clash with another human player and an even shorter moment (a few seconds) with a wolf. Rather than having 3 minutes of just walking around a deserted barren landscape, how about breaking it up a little bit with.....something.....anything.
Some other things that are perhaps worth mentioning.......
"In a free world....." - No its not free. You have to pay for it. I know thats not what you meant but thats how it comes across. Perhaps change it to "In an open world....."
"Discover unknown areas......and unknown cities" - Whats unique about that? Every place in any game is unknown until you've been there. Besides how do you know that they're unknown? How would you know how many other people have already walked through that particular bit of landscape?
"Discover dangerous dungeons......" - Yeah.....ermm.....it might be a good idea to actually show us why they are dangerous. In your video there is nothing in the dungeon at all. Its totally empty.....so whats dangerous about it?
"Form a guild city.......or with the community....." - At first this part of the video looks ok until it gets to the "....or with the community" part. What community? You show us a ghost town. There isnt a single living soul to be seen.
"Kill epic bosses....." - Where? What epic boss? You show a dark cave and you swinging your sword at a wall.
The fact that you show your character lighting a torch, building a house, chopping a players head off, taming some animals and also display some variety in armour and weapons are some nice touches. Its a shame they are such a tiny portion of what is otherwise a rather dull video. Maybe this is due to the fact that the game is simply empty at the moment. Having said that I do kind of like the look of this game. At least its trying to offer something different to the usual boring shit I'm used to seeing in mmos. Despite the seemingly poor state of the game at the moment I think the development of this one will be interesting to follow.
As long as their still releasing MMOS, there are going to be the haters. I enjoyed your video, don't listen to the kids that just stand to ridicule. The game needs work, I am not sure of many games that were perfect off their release. Oh well, this has been the tradition on this forum prior to big game releases for years. Everyone wants a new great game, though everyone wants to put every game other than the one their playing down.
I actually think that the video he made wasn't half bad.
It's the reason he made it that is rather unfortunate, and not really his fault. StarVault knows it has a loser on its hands, so they are literally bribing the community to "win prizes" by making a video that shows the game in a good light.
Because you need a video to show it. If you actually play the game -- it can't be done in a good light because you'll experience everything, and not just the good parts that are edited to form a video.
good job in promoting MO. not the best movie ever but a decent one
trees are indeed crappy...
still, i have seen much more beautiful places in guildwars

The other thing that bugs me about this game is that there are MASSIVE open spaces with simply nothing in them, totally bare and barren it looks so cheap.
Some of the open areas are kept barren like that because they are future spawns of epic mobs, or even just standard mobs. As it stands now there are only 10 different mobs in the game, with several more made (you can find their sound files in the engine, they just havent been added to the game yet.) Also, they want to keep some areas empty for house/city building. Once the game is up and going with player houses/cities everywhere, and all the mobs are in, I think it will seem much less barren. At the same time, it's realistic for certain areas to be empty, i.e. rocky land in the mountain ranges or narrow valleys taken up by rivers.

This is just the type of trailer I like, frankly. Showcasing what matters to me: the atmosphere of the world. I made a similar one for Age of Conan when DirectX 10 first went in. Vanguard, as well. Together with Mortal Online the most engaging fantasy settings I've set foot in, as far as MMOs go.

Good video.
Maybe you can make it a bit shorter? Six minutes is a long time for a trailer.
There is a part that you say:
"Form a Guild City
...Or with the comunity."
I think you need to rephrase the above sentence and "comunity" is misspelled. Good luck.

My sig is just as logical as your posts are
Devs confirmed today that we get a BIG content patch next week. Shall be interesting to see what that might be.
Really nice video!
You can burn me, but i wont die.
Love the video. Think it may be the best i have seen so far.
But where it talks about taming and commanding you spelt it "comand" where it's "command".
Great video though. Shows how great MO can really be and how much better it can get.
Shh! I'm gangstering!
nice video that made me want to play this game even more
and dont listen to the silly nay sayers, they are in every part of our lives and are constantly eyeing our doings with some greif.

This one is pretty good. The end is cool.

Compair these two videos ... the first is the DF video and the second is a MO video that a player have done ...
DF - www.youtube.com/watch
MO - www.youtube.com/watch
Pretty sure everyone knows.
Funny that the latter is so much better-looking and less cheesy, though.
