Now, i feel it. MO can easily be the best mmorpg ever made. I now have around 50 str, 50 constitution and my 1st 2 hand blunt weapon. I also have a full leather armor that an unknown player give to me for free.
The game is great, even for solo players who got enough patient, its really good. At the start, you are confuse so you start to hate, but once you get use to it, you start to feel that MO is getting better and more fun every day after day. ITs a sandbox game and the unpredictable outcome is really great. The game is really addictive to me right now.
If you hate it, its because you simply hate sandbox games and mmorpg's that can only play in FPV. Other then that, the game is in beta so you have to understand why some stuff are lacking, but currently, its really playable and i enjoy it.
Soon, i will join a clan francophone quebecker. With these players, the game will be even more enjoyable. A diplomat type of clan BTW.
If you download the open beta, dont let your 1st impression make you give up to play MO. I played the game for 4 days. 1st day, i didnt enjoy it since i was lost and so confuse. Second day, i started to get sick of MO, so i decided to play an other game. 3rd day, i started to get use to the game, stopped getting lost and progress really fast without the need to grind like crazy. 4th day that is today, i got 50 str, 50 constitution like i said, my 1st blunt crafted weapon and currently, the game play very fast and perfectly.
Your 1st weapon that is a small axe and a sword sux. Those weapon can ruin your combat experience and moral. So get near a bank, ask someone to craft you a weapon of your choice and play the game. The starter weapons sux because they are too slow. Also, make sure to mine or woodcutting to raise your STR before you start killing some pigs or gazele. If you are lost or have any question in game, ask any one you come across. The community in MO is perfect. All my questions got answered in game. All the ppl i spoke during those 4 days, none of them ignored me and responded to my questions. There is no griefing in MO. Blue wont kill you. The red players are those you should watch. There are also thieves that are flagged blue who are annoying currently.

Wait till the tomorrows patch I say. It will fix most of the major issues such as desync and stuff.
Confirmed by Mats, adds a lot more depth to the current one.
Btw : advanced crafting in the works
You can burn me, but i wont die.
I. Want!
NO U!
Downloading the client now. I'm assuming the beta is free, or will they make me pay for the privilege?
I tried the open beta, the game looks very very nice. But the server has issues or something and I definately lagged like hell the entire time I played it, I logged in and created a character, that worked fine. Tried to enter into the game, and the button did nothing. Kept pressing and it still didn't work. Came back 5 minutes later to just see it finish loading, either that was serious delay, or maybe the game just didn't like me at the time. Logged in and walked about 5 feet, something started hitting me and I couldn't see anything in sight. Then a deer appeared in front of me. I don't know, it seemed very very bugged to hell or just laggy. It could be an amazing game, but I don't understand what was going on while I tried it haha
Yeah, desync issues... That's why I said wait till tomorrows patch :P Hopefully it will fix the desync issue.
You can burn me, but i wont die.
Even when the sync issues are fixed, the game is still going to be boring with a slow, slow slow combat system.
You were trying to attack something with your starter axe, didnt you?
The sterter axe isnt made for combate IN ANY WAY! Gather with it, and afterwards make a real weapon with what you gathered.
DONT FIGHT WITH YOUR STARTER WEAPON!
The game is playable before the lag is fixed and real content patched in, so therefore its the same as its been for the last year. Allow me not to laugh at your proverbial "claims"
It's sad if there has to be made a thread that attests that it is playable now. And yes, I can play, but only about ten minutes. I had high hopes for this game too...well, maybe in a year.
I stopped reading OP's post after the first "hate" word.
This game has NOT been officially released yet for a very good reason. Enough said.
Yes, if someone does not like the game is because they hate sandbox games... Just ignore the bugs and problems and unprofessionalism from Starvault from the last 8 or 9 months, its because we hate sandbox games. Seriously?
And stop with the beta argument, the game is about to get released in a few weeks. Look at this.

Agree, I also stopped reading at the word "hate".
It was too soon, too rushed, not subtle enough. The last thing you do is confront your oppositor openly like that, you will not convince them, it will make you look like an amateur, desperatelly trying to prove a point, before you even started.
I just started the game and it was pitch black, I then saw someone with a torch so I followed them. Then after so long the game crashed
No idea what I had to do but I have to goto work now, when I get back I'll be able to explore a bit more.
I gave up expecting logical, unbiased and constructive arguments from this forum about an hour after signing up. Video games just seem to provoke the same fervent zeal in some as religion; nothing a detractor says can possibly be right because affording them any credibility at all is a sign of weakness and therefore "losing" the argument. If you cannot bludgeon them to death with stone-wall stubbornness, then create a strawman and set fire to that instead.
@vaultfairy ; My understanding is that they made night darker than intended and will be adjusting.

P.S. If the devs thought mortal was ready for release they wouldn't have pushed back the release. The fact that they've passed the planned release date (Q4 2009)and haven't announced aything more specific than Q1 2010 means the bug-fixing and adding new content took longer than planned and they don't want to announce another release day until they have a better idea on how long it will really be. Please stop saying they release in 2 weeks until they announce a specific date. I think most people expect them to lapse into Q2 at this point.
P.P.S. Bashing MO and promoting Xsyon? REALLY? Xsyon's announced release date is in 6 weeks and to the best of my knowledge, noone has beta- tested or even seen in-game footage.
I would rather trust the Xsyon dev team than Starvault any day. I have followed Starvault for 8+ months now, and being in their open/closed beta has taught me one thing, that company is unprofessional unreal modders that do not know what they are doing. At least the Xsyon devs have actually worked and built games before. If you think thats bashing Mortal Online and Starvault, good for you.
Mods, that is my opinion after following SV for 8 months.
IMO I thought MO was very playable in beta...it had bugs...it's supposed to, the point of beta is to find said bugs and report them, not find said bug and then come to the mmorpg.com forums crying about how awful the game is. The only thing MO really needs is a series of quick tutorial videos that can help new players get situated in the world.
If you're referring to "Tomorrow war", I'm not sure how much confidence that should give you.

If your referring to "Through these companies I fulfilled contracts with Sony, Sega, Mindscape, Microprose, Virgin Interactive, Raven Soft, Hewlett Packard, Worlds Inc. and many other clients culminating with a publishing deal with Electronic Arts with only a four person team. " , that statement is so vague it could refer to catering contracts and publishing a delivery meny for one of EA's offices.
The development team is split between Novosibirsk, Russia; Villanova, Spain, and Chicago,Il (or at least that's the location of their server)
Enough about Xsyon though, my point is that the two are supposedly at about the same state of development. MO is in open (though buggy) beta that anyone can download and try to play. Xsyon has yet to be seen by anyone outside the company, aside from a handful of screenshot which do not include any GUI or HUD elements. Despite this you call criticise MO for being unfinished. Xsyon may be a great game, but I will be astonished if it releases before MO and plays more smootly than MO at release.
He just keeps bashing the game because he is against the nudity in it. He's just trolling, so you can ignore his opinions.
What? I could care less about the nudity. The other post was talking about how some people think violence is worse than nudity.
Can't really say that as many of the bugs have been there for months.

Nope, that's not true. Nudity it's the only thing you care about in this game, and you know it. You said it loud and clear in the other post.

Ah right, okay cool. It is a bit too dark to be honest...
Just logged into play and it crashed so no idea if it is me or the server but i'll try again.
Would be nice to try a different MMO.
For the bug part, the only bug i got in game is when i login, i cant see any NPC's, i cant mine or woodcutting. Im guessing that im offline. So what i do, i disconnect and i try to relogin. If it say connect failed, its because i was right, the server was close. If i can reconnect, bugs will get fixed once in game, i will get respawned in the same spot and i can keep doing my things normally.
My only problem with combat currently, weapon wave slash hit box need some work. Even if you do a wave attack, you cant hit stuff that are at the side of your screen. You can only hit stuff on your crosshair and you cant see your crosshair. Since its beta, i have a lot of trust for that team and i believe they will fix that problem.
The MO devs are the best at communication because in the beta forum, in some sticky thread, they ask the player what they want to see. Then, they work on the most demanded stuff.
