Here is supposedly a person that is going to show several videos of Mortal Online as of this month. I guess he has more coming.
Enjoy.

I see not much has changed.
Your wrong......... the characters now have clothing.
I dont think this video shows anything that bad.
1) You think you can hunt gazelles on foot with an axe? They are quick animals that have a good sense of whats going on around them. Its good that they run from you.
2) The rest of what you seen was contributed to lag. The server is lagging right now because of the last patch they deployed. They will fix it. What will you complain about then?
This video is NOT a good represenation of Mortal Online at all!
There are bugs to be worried about but this is not one of them.

Graphics are nice but, that deer seems glitched. It appears as though his axe swings from behind did no damage to it. How come it didn't run away, and why did it seem to mysteriously die after he went into the inventory?
Seems very glitchy and early gameplay maybe, or am I missing something?
I will just say for the most part the graphics looked good though. Reminded me a lot of Oblivion, will have to see what it looks like without the bugs.
It was lag.
Betas are made to fix this kind of junk. If they releases the game like then we all have good reason to complain but it is still in development.
And it was obvious that that deer had broken collision detection, why did the guy continue to chop at it forever? Otherwise the deers reacted good, you should need a bow for that or at least a javelin.
What happened is the person who made the video wanted to make MO look bad so he uploaded a video of him attacking a gazelle while there was bad lag.
Unbiased reviews are always biased.
My sig is just as logical as your posts are
Sorry, your reasoning is wacked.
It could just be that the game sucks, especially since so many other videos and reviews of the game say the same story. But I know, the game is really, really great and everyone just has it out for this game huh?
..How come every piece of trash game that comes out from some small country developer trying to re-create a new UO type of game with great graphics, it has all these die hard fans that never give up until they are just never heard from again when the game finally does launch and is a total piece of sh!t... as so many people warned them before ??
Counts all the "great next UO" type of games to promise everything including full loot...
Mourning, Dark and Light, Darkfall, and now Mortal Online. {sigh}
Atleast Darkfall still has a halfway playable game out, even if it is a piece of sh!t. ..It's probably 10 times better then Mortal Online will ever be.

More like someone pre-ordered the game and doesn't want to wait for the game to release before they determine if it's fun. So instead of being a productive beta tester, you know testing the game and reporting bugs they find bugs and post a video on youtube to prevent others from buying the game.
I've been in the game since it entered beta and when the server isn't lagging its alot of fun. The main problems I have with the game are lag and most of the people I know are waiting for release before they play. Truthfully, the game is buggy and needs work, but these people are making videos of doing nothing on purpose.
Why diddn't he make a video documenting the new crafting system, or go out and kill somone? Instead he uses the starter axe and goes and fights a bugged mob while the server is lagging.
My sig is just as logical as your posts are
Its very pretty right now, but thats about it. They should cut their losses, unlock the world building tools, and market it as a landscaping simulator.

I just want to clarify that the game itself isn't 65 dollars or whatever the price is for the -box- version. The reason why it's that price is because shipping is included. It's being shipped from Sweden....so it's being shipped across potentially a lot of different countries. That means it has to pass through a lot of different tariffs and taxes and customs and such. So that means it could also take a long time for a box version to arrive if you live in the states.
Oh and comparing DF to MO, at this point at least, is like comparing a large pile of crap that's been sitting out for awhile to the makings of a large pile of crap still sitting in some animal's bowels. I don't really know if you can call one better than the other, hehe. ^_^
Plus MO still has time to fix stuff before release.
I mean that's great if you're a fan of DF, but I dunno why you would say something insane is....insane? O.o
Sorry, your reasoning is wacked.
There are plenty of people who bought the game, weren't satisfied with it for whatever reason, and now hate it and want it to fail. HerculesSAS is one of them, for example. They're all over these forums. Those people still have beta access unless they did a chargeback on their cards, and they can and will do whatever they can to make the game look bad.
Most of the "glitches" shown in that video are completely caused by the lag that the server is suffering right now. The lag didn't exist before this last patch. The devs went on vacation after the patch came out and as a result the server hasn't been fixed. The lag is horrific to say the least, and this video does NOT give a good representation of what the game is like when it isn't lagged to shit. The devs should be getting back to work around Monday. Any new videos that come out in let's say a week or two should be closer to what the game is really like. Once the lag is under control the game will be drastically different.
Here's a quote from the Youtube page, too:
"While the new mmorpg "Mortal Online" is promising to bring back the old school mmo play style of Ultima Online in a beautiful 3D world, it's obvious from watching this video that it is nowhere near ready for launch.
Now Star Vault, the company behind this production of this game has been taking excited fans money since the summer of 2009, and it hasn't been cheap. Averaging around $70 USD gives a player access to the beta client to help test the game, and 30 days of game play once the game does indeed launch."
That doesn't sound particularly unbiased to me, lol.
He goes on to say that he only bought the game 3 days ago. This means that he has NO IDEA what the game was like before this patch, and how lag free it was. It also tells me that, odds are, he has no idea how any of the systems work, such as crafting, house building, and so on. This person is not the one to give an unbiased view of the game, because he doesn't have any experience with it. I'll say it again: wait for the new videos that start coming out in 2 weeks or so. Those will be more honest representations of what the game is actually like.
- I can agree with most of what you say TCOS.
However when you say that he is biased because he bought the game 3 days ago, and has no experience with the game yet, that's where you seem to drift off my path of reasoning. After all, wouldn't a player who hasn't been foaming at the mouth for the game the past 2 years and just buying it recently be a really good representation of "non-bias"?
There are a lot of videos on youtube on Mortal Online already. I agree that some could be people trying to make it look bad, but on the same token, I hardly believe that all of the best videos made with all the time and effort to make the game look bad ass are non-biased representations either. You know those fans are not showing us the bugs, non working features, broken game mechanics etc. They are only showing us the "cool" stuff.
I hate doing it, because I've already wasted my money on Mourning and Darkfall. I got lucky and got a free beta pass to Dark and Light, but these "UO pre-Trammel" style games promising old school mmo'ers like myself the world just never seem to deliver.
- But I may just have to check this game out and give them the money for the digital download. Not because I really expect this game to be any different, but mainly just out of curiosity. I expect the worst, trust me. I certainly don't it to be as great in reality as all the fanboys videos of the game, nor do I expect it to deliver on even half the promised made on it's own website.
What's $50 or $60 anyhow? Can't even take my family to a movie theater and get popcorn and drinks for that price. And if it helps support a small group of guys trying to re-deliver a 3D mmo that brings us back to the ols school mmo pvp and full loot games that actually required skill, then I'm happy to help them out.
Trust me, I'm not one of these guys that thinks that these game companies are trying to rip us off. I honestly believe now that they have all really tried to deliver a game that was in their heart and soul, but just fell short of expertise, money, and/or resources.
This game atleast did something right. They used an existing game engine with Unreal 3 instead of trying to make their own like the devs for Darkfall.
Who knows? We'll see soon enough I guess.

I only say he's biased because of the way he phrases his comment. He says how they've been taking the money of their fans. Which, to me, although I may be mistaken, reads: They've been exploiting their fans. The whole comment seems to have a tone of "Wow, this game is garbage and completely underdeveloped." I can see why he would think that, based off his limited experience in game, and all of that being ridden with lag, however, I don't believe he's the right person to give a fair representation of the game. He most likely doesn't know how to do anything in the game other than fight people/monsters which is nearly impossible with the lag as it's been. The whole video only shows him attempting to fight a gazelle, while suffering from extreme lag. Does that represent what game play is like when the server isn't this unstable? obviously not. The server has never been as unstable as it is now, except maybe, MAYBE, when the beta first started. I don't take him for a hater or anything like that. I mean, he paid to get the game. He must have had some interest. He just doesn't, and couldn't possibly, know what the game is really like, which is not his fault. Regardless, he's posting that video to show that the game is much farther from release ready than it really is, he just doesn't know that because of his incredibly limited and unfortunate experience which began after this patch made the server unstable.
The game really isn't completely ready for launch anyway, even with the lag fixed. It's getting closer, though. I expect the game to be worth playing at release but definitely not what everyone is hoping for. Six months to a year down the line, though, and it might just be what the pre-trammel UO vets are praying it will be. It has that potential.
The guy seems like he's willing to change his mind, and he's going to post more videos in the future. If he likes it, he'll comment on it. He might even retract his "DEM MEANIEZ IS STEALIN MAH MONIES" statements.
Sorry, your reasoning is wacked.

Please get a clue about how shipping works before you come off as a 14yo trying to sound experienced.
Your response is so inane it, it, it,....oh not worth it.
"If you were as smart as you think you are, you would realize that you are an idiot"
I do feel sorry for all the people that have pre ordered the game within the last week expecting to play lol.
Ive been keeping an eye on this game every once in a while, I like the graphics and the blur effects when you turn looks really good. Also I wouldnt post any videos up because all the tards that dont know what an alpha or beta stage is will be like OMFG im not gonna plays that oh noes! when its in alpha and beta for a reason its not release yet so chill people. In the end people should be glad more sandbox games are coming out because im tired of the cookie cutter crap thats 99% of games instanced crap as well with crap pvp in most games.

BETA....and seems it will be released "unfinished", if there is such thing as a finished MMO, tho they work hard on making content and fix issues, am sure it will need to hope ppl give them as much string, as ppl gave a game like EvE.
Game has physics? he is pushing the gazelle with his feet? That's pretty good.
That's bad. Very bad, for an MMO. It's causing the lag probably, because it's probably run server-side. They did the exact opposite of DF, which did their physics client-side, resulting in speed hacks. Both options just being plain stupid, it's still too early to have good physics in a MMO. And I'm afraid it's pretty hard to fix, it's not just a simple patch, it's rewriting a part of the server and engine code.
You know it, the best way to realize your dreams is waking up and start moving, never lose hope and always keep up.
