Reading all the hate here I thought a game could possible not be that bad, just trolls doing their usal rounds.
I spent ages getting Beta download and tried the game, all I can say is WOW... I am astonished at how bad this game is, even to call it a beta is a insult.
I would serisouly call it a pre-Alpha version, no.. I'm not trying to troll but give my real perspective on what I feel this game is.
The GUI is clunky, the Hud and reaction to your button presses sometimes do not even trigger. The harvesting is slow and clunky, the combat is just well I do not have words to describe it!
THe whole games mechanics are just really bad and insulting to a humans intelligence!
I give them one thing on their side, buetiful world and graphics.. but again and again I repeat myself liek I did in AoC launch.. Graphics these days do not cut it, its all about gameplay I'm afraid espeically in mmo's.... and this MO is far from anything gameplay fun wise.
What are your thouhts so far after trying BETA? I feel they have made a bad move, alot people will see how bad this is and not even attempt to try it to pay now..........................

Worst POS I have ever witnessed. I deeply regret getting involved with SV in any way. A couple teenagers in a garage could have done a better job with available tools in the marketplace.
I have not tried beta so I can not comment with experience as to the state of the game other than it is my understanding that Star Vault underestimated the amount of time and funding it would require to make an MMO and they are running out of money, thus the unfinished release. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but that does seem to be the trend of many MMOs these days.
At least you guys were able to get in. I downloaded the open beta client from both the torrent link, as well as the direct download one, and when I open my folder, and click on the launcher.exe I just get an application must be terminated error(only option is to just click "Ok"). Spent hours trying two different portals and both turned up nothing. I was hoping I'd be able to play the open beta to see if I find enough potential in the game for me to want to subscribe, but if I can't even get to the updater *shrugs* I guess I'll be going without a sandbox for a while, because there's just a few things about subbing to Darkfall that worry me, but I may end up going there after all, if this turns into the bust that it's most certainly seeming like, at the moment.
Is that the gamenow.exe error after clicking PLAY button?
I had that, game don't even work straight away!
You got to install the Nividia Pyshics engine link on their forum. Even if you have a ATI like me, that got mine working.
No, I have a seperate error. I can't even get to the updater to click on a play button. I click the mortalonlinelauncher.exe icon,(to start the updater). and it just gives me an error that just simply says the application must be terminated.
Look on the bright side, at least you didn't give SV any money.
I win!!! LOL@U
+1.
I supported this venture for its potential, but I can't see this survive more than 6 months after live launch. I logged in and try to play after each major update, but they only fixed minor things. Too many graphic designers and no professional engineer, someone who has worked with AI before, the way I see it. Just free roam and random PK does not constitute 'sandbox'. Housing does not help either.
Better to be crazy, provided you know what sane is...
Yes, that at least is a plus. Although I don't have the money right now to give, even if by some severe lapse in judgement I were to just give money to someone with nothing to hardly anything in return, I would not have the means to do so right now.
On the bright side, I tried the fix that worked for the other individual that had problems in this thread, and it worked for me too. So it is now updating, and I'll see if this game has potential. I likely won't find anything substantial in the short amount of time open beta is, and would have to either buy the game on faith(something I have a very hard time doing for ANYTHING) or sub to darkfall(would have no problem in that, it looks very fun, I just preferred the fpv and graphics, so basically it's just aesthetic choices that I would prefer to play mortal to df).
I am a very patient person, so I don't mind grind, or looking for things to do, I have a pretty high end computer, so I would like to think most of the complaints I've read on these forums won't affect me too much, but I'm going to have to just see. I am hoping not, but thanks to those who have sacrificed their wallets, I can better prepare myself. hehe.
Try clicking the updater.exe instead.
Edit: ha just saw your other post, nevermind.
Consume. Be silent. Die.
I got it to work. I needed to update my framework, and get the physics driver. Basically just update my things and it worked. I selected the MOLauncher.exe and it is now updating. I'm curious if they both lead to the same thing.
oh and I tried the updater when I first had the problem, and it gave me the same error I got when I clicked the launcher, so that didn't work either lol. I ended up having to just update the things that they tell you in the MO forums, and it worked finally. Thank you though.
they actully have what they promised in most of it anyway it just needs polish and bugs fixes.
even big compaines cant do it what you think a 12 man team going to be able to do.. and know i dount kids in the garage could have built a housing system like this. with lots of time maybe.. but dv will get it working but it was so lagged atm i dont know how anyone can even fairly judge
IDK, this trailer looks pretty nice: http://www.mortalonline.com/downloads/MO_OpenBetaTrailer_Part1_720p_wmw.rar
Make sure you actually unpack the D/L.I added a MO to the end of the WHERE TO unpack,and it was in my D/L folder.
Then when you click inside that folder and click the .exe you should get the whole thing D/L updates.It was giving me errors as well,then all of a sudden several seconds later the launcher popped up out of no where lol.Just press it once and wait,otherwise you will have a ton of update exe loaded and can only get rid of them via ctrl+alt+del then end process on the updaters.Perhaps yo ucan even Rclick the .exe file and launch as ADMINISTRATOR.
Then when you actually get to the player creation,you will have to hold buttons down for a length of time,the response is VERY slow.You may just want to skip it,i found the game to be really bad,dead world,i did not see one moving NPC,just a few static ones that do not even talk to you or anything.All you will see is some players swinging their axe to harvest rock or trees,really the game starts off incredibly slow and dull,no action what so ever.
In comparison,you launch Vanguard and you are greeted by warring factions and you needed to escape the clutches of your captor,it is like an EPIC feel to the launch,these other games like MO are just totally drab.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

I have made series of posts about this on beta forums, but no one seems to care. It looks like most people like it how it is

To make matters worse.
A couple teenagers in the garage have now these EXACT same tools at their disposal. As EPIC has made the UnrealEngine3 SDK available to the public (complete with stuff like SpeedTree, etc) since end last year.
Cheers

Gz on making a mmo with Unreal Engine without the source-code license
Downloaded, updated, "played" for ten minutes and deleted. This is not a game, this is piece of sh*t.
And the funny thing is... people thought I was lying about how complete or playable this game is.
The proof is in the pudding. Or the lack of it.
Even funnier is that someone paid five grand for this game haha
I'm shocked they are having an OB.
I win!!! LOL@U
I logged in and right away felt like I was running a Alpha client, it seriously is in bad shape.
Open Public Alpha Test is what it should be called.
Those were my thoughts too. Boy, was I in for a surprise. I have been through many a test phase, including a few alphas...I have only one word to classify this game -
Special
As in, short bus special.
Say what?
Something amazing happened. I just had a five hour session with no disconnects or lag. Granted, I was in the middle of nowhere gathering crafting materials and hunting. The scenery was top notch. It was a very enjoyable experience
