MO is absoluteley amazing and once they fix all the lagging/desync it will be trully epic.
People who want to grind boring quests a la WoW or the like should look else where though, MO requires you to use your imagination instead of spoon feeding you "WIN" buttons
In MO you grind rocks and trees. You literally sit there and click one mouse button to do your job.
Why isn't this considered grinding and how in the hell does it take imagination?
It takes imagination to enjoy it. Like a child playing with a cardboard box and pretending its a house,castle,boat...
And in other games you can't have an imagination? That seems reaching.
id rather have the house castle and boat personally than the cardboard box.
anyways i personally think the game sucks mainly because i couldnt play it, not that it was too boring to play, but literally it would not boot up, i forget the actual error it said but i do know it wasnt my computer as my computer is way above the specs for that game. other than that i have no clue how the game plays.

OMG, grinding on trees and rocks to level up skills is absolutely amazing, why hasn't any MMORPG ever incorporated this into their game before?
Seriously, Cristina1, if you are going to claim MO is something special, you're going to have say why outside of , WOW sucks because it has quests blah blah and MO doesn't have them.
What does MO have that makes it so good? And don't say FFA PVP with full loot, DFO has that, and it hardly sets MO apart to have them as well
No need to mention the graphics btw, they are never as important as proper game play mechanics so that's what I want to hear more about.

Amazing is subjective so there's really no need for an explanation. I'll still take a stab at why some people may feel this way. It's not really as a result of the outstanding quality of MO (obviously). I think it comes down to the state of the genre at present. A lot of people have been craving games built on player construction/ city/army buiding etc.. for quite some time. Now there are a few games offering just that, each could be considered lacking in overall quality. However, its the fact that they are actually offering something different than your typical quest based treadmill that has become the standard for todays MMO.
That's not to say they are original, or they are unique, more so they are throw backs that remind people of older MMO's. Namely UO. Are they as good, most probably feel that's a no. However, with how little choice there is for a game like this, it's likely some people are more than willing to sacrifice polish or spit and shine, for their preferred playstyle.
To be honest, you're the last person I'd expect needed this spelled out for them.

You guys all posted on how the game is good or bad, but none of you actually told us why. This is my opinion.
Good:
1. Feels like an adventure.
2.Some pretty cool features (theiving, building bridges,taming)
3.A decent crafting system.
4. Torches and day/night. This could be a good or bad thing, but i like the idea of torches and night time. However if your new with no money or anything and log in at night your just gonna be walking around in a poorly lit town or a completely black forest.
5.Pretty good graphics, but i think that clan vs clan combat with be one big cluster fuck with a side of lag.
Bad:
1.Combat is terrible (feels laggy and animations are lacking.) This being a large part of the game i would think they would atleast try to improve it.
2.The guard system (stupid that people can call a guard and one hit you)
3.Very hard to get in to/learn. (steep learning curv)
4.NUDITY. don't know wtf made them make people nude but it is completely unnessesary.(dont wanna look at cocks while i play)
5.crafting(yes its good and bad) its bad because it doesn't really tell you what materials you need to make things. if it does i couldn't figure it out.
6.Random and massive open plains. I went exploring and ended walking through an empty field for 20 mins.
7. no world map. thats right the first mmo without a freakin world map or minimap.
Well im sure there is more good and more bad but this is all i could come up with right now. Also i did not play the game for very long but i did play for a few hours and these points all came from my personal experience. Some thing may have changed/been fixed but from the patch notes that ive read recently most of this is still most likely true.
Other then brigde building what does this have that EQ didn't have in 1999 on a Zek server? Graphics? Well if you are old enough to remember (most of you aren't it would seem) EQ had great graphics for it's day and time, in fact required a graphics co-processor card.
I see nothing in this game that sets it apart from any other game in the last 12 years...Hell even the aborted DnL had more susbstance and genre changing ideas in it (parachute jumping, dragon riding, hang gliding, migrating herds, changing seasons, snow sledding on your shield, etc) then this POS has or DF for that matter.
I guess what we are seeing in all the blind fawnbois is the new kiddie generation that has no gaming experience and believes in setting the bar at the lowest level so that everyone even the retarded kid can get over the high jump. Typical blind PC sheeple.

err...Isn't whis what we all do when we play COMPUTER GAMES. Don't we all pretend that we are "heroes", "warriors", "mercenaries", "sports man" etc. Your example is flawed.
as to MO being epic, well it gives me much more of an adrenaline rush than WoW used to for example. It is basically an FPS with RPG elemets. It is so much more enjoyable to beat a real human player than stupid AI in repetetive MMO quests, no?
as to MO copying "other games" I presume you mean UO and possibly DF? Well UO did it well so why not copy it but in full 3D? I mean we have gazillon WoW clones and yet we only have 2 games that even resemble UO in any way. If this changes and we get a gazillion of sandbox games in the future that copy each other, then yes, you will have a point but til then it is a ridiculous claim.
I know somebody said DF does it already and better well, for me their pvp just does not feel right compared to MO's. Early on in beta when we did not have lag/desync issues, the game with only a handfull of features (besides pvp) was trully fun. Maybe once this is fixed, you will see what I mean
"err...Isn't whis what we all do when we play COMPUTER GAMES. Don't we all pretend that we are "heroes", "warriors", "mercenaries", "sports man" etc. Your example is flawed.'
Umm... No !!! No more than I pretend to be a racecar,iron, top hat, knight, king or bishop in any board game.
"Early on in beta when we did not have lag/desync issues, the game with only a handfull of features (besides pvp) was trully fun."
So with that being said, couldn't ANY game be "truly Epic" with the proper amount of imagination?
"Maybe once this is fixed, you will see what I mean "
Its always something isn't? MO is always about the future, while the now is overlooked.

This is why you can never argue with MO fanboys. Whenever you bring up something that's wrong with they game they just say the equivalent of "some day, in the near or distant future, something will fix this problem. Not sure when, how, who, or what, but it will be fixed...Thus your argument is invalid".

Then let us talk and think with our invalid argument. I mean, with 20 developers, we have to keep our hope high man. 20 devs had never been enough for an mmorpg, but more for a single player type game. So if us niche audience dont have invalid argument, dont expect a valid one everytime. Dont be proud of yourself either to attack a small company that way.
Like I said in another post, once you get over the personal hype, you will find out this game is terrible... Does not matter if the developers call you on the phone to see how your day is going, they are inexperienced and they are unable to do anything right to this point.
How is this not trolling as per Rules of Conduct? No reasons stated, and you talk about how you've said the same thing in other threads. You know I don't even play or care that much about MO. It's just a principle thing, like man give it up already. I was just reading that other thread you started that you claimed to always put a reason. Sure thing man, have fun with your vendetta cause most people get sick of it.

It's got potential, but after almost a year of them struggling to get the same problems that plague it now to be fixed without any luck.. one doesn't really have much faith in their ability to provide
I'll give my opinion of the "alpha." Yeah, I said it.
Clunky as hell. It feels like you weigh 1000 pounds with the way that you move. SLOW. Lumbering.
I logged in the first time, ran around a bit..graphics looked okay all maxed out. Went to the help menu and was reading about the game and how to do stuff. Hit a key to use mouse lock (z key I think? can't remember) and clicked on an option at the top. Clicked the Z key again and the game totally froze. I mean it hard locked, with green and white fuzzies all over the place. NO it wasn't my computer or anything, no overheating. Just a crappy programming job I guess. I can play Mass Effect 2 for HOURS, minimize the game for 4 hours and come back and play with no crashes. Not a single one.
The animations looked, IMO, absolutely horrible.
The character models, again IMO, looked absolutely horrible.
The sound..uhh..sounded, absolutely horrible. The music was ehh okay, the sound of unsheathing your weapon was okay. The other few sounds I heard really sucked badly though.
I knew a kid in high school once, he weighed about 300 piunds, and even that fat tub of lard could jump higher than your character can in this game.
I think I'll stop here. Sorry, but this game is another Dark and Light. IE - a total ripoff and wouldn't surprise me if they start scamming people's credit card numbers, double charging them, etc. Again, this is all my opinion.
Its always something isn't? MO is always about the future, while the now is overlooked.

After some months, there is still the desync issue. All the developers are inexperienced. So my trust in them to fix all the problems is shaken. And I highlighted the word "company" for you. Everyone always argue that they are small, indie, whatever...that does mean I accept a certain "roughness", I also accept that things take longer. But I do not accept a game in this state. After all, they are still a company selling us a product. A product that has AAA prices, to be exact.
Don't get me wrong, I am following Mortal Online. I am waiting for them to finally get it together and present us something that is enjoyable. However, I don't see its "awesomeness" any time in the near future. So argue with what is in at the present. I can also say "Oh, Star Trek Online is a themepark now, but in 5 years, they will have changed the complete system, made it into a sandbox and it will be so awesome!" (It's never going to happen)

The game isn't even niche status, it's cult status.
You talk about hope like the world will end if this game doesn't get released. In reality another sandbox game company will sprout out of the woodwork and you will pay an arm and a leg for some crappy LE box.
So stop defending a crappy product and start demanding quality.
It's unfortunate on how many levels this game fails, yet it has the capability of being good.
Three primary reasons why I wont play.
1. First-Person constant view. At least in DF, I could see my character and get into it.
2. Thievery in towns. This perhaps makes this game the ultimate in hard-core; always on pvp that favors the aggressor always and anywhere. There is no just calming down in a town to hang out as things get stolen from your bag. heh
3. The disproportionate amount of time and energy it takes from resource gathering and creating simple gear is too much of a time-sink for me.

I'll agree somewhat on #3 and more so on #2, but I'm not really sure how third-person allows you to 'get into' your character more than first-person. That seems wildly counter-intuitive.
I mean, I like third-person for the more realistic FoV, sure, but you have to realize that with the tactical advantage it offers, first-person would go unused. Might as well have an option to disable foliage or brighten up the night.

Thats right. I really feel like the world will end if MO dont release. You are right on that part and i think some others feel that way. There is nothing else. DF is alreeady a failure because of the horrible grind. I try playing many other mmorpg's, i hated them all and didnt survive more then a month. I played wow for 3 months, but this is because of real life friends. One day, i just decided to man up and say fuck them and leave wow for ever. I didnt made it in Aion either.
Now, i tried and currently play Mortal online. I never played UO or any other oldshcool hardcore pvp mmorpg. In faq, wow was my 1st mmorpg. With that being said, Mortal online is currently the only mmorpg who got enough potential to keep me in for ever.
I sure want quality, but if quality always have to Equal Blizzard, EA or any other main stream mmorpg games, i just rather support a niche company that have the game i demand. MO is currently the only game with the feature i always wanted for an mmorpg.

the game really is sooo wicked... you know sinful, extremely bad, unpleasant in degree or quality.
and yes it's in "beta", the " is of course an exaggeration of the word used, therefore implying with the use of english language beforehand that it is not even alpha quality.
Never read what the OP actually said, but from the title alone i think i can guess from the above on what it might contain, must everyone be so negative about this game.
Wow... you might actually want to read the post you are blasting... as he was geniunely excited about the game... it wasn't a long post.. just a few sentences...

If you aren't satisfied with MMOs you could try a different genre or maybe just enjoy life. Seems you feel like you NEED to play a MMO, which is addiction behavior.

And in other games you can't have an imagination? That seems reaching.

OMG, grinding on trees and rocks to level up skills is absolutely amazing, why hasn't any MMORPG ever incorporated this into their game before?

as to MO being epic, well it gives me much more of an adrenaline rush than WoW used to for example. It is basically an FPS with RPG elemets. It is so much more enjoyable to beat a real human player than stupid AI in repetetive MMO quests, no?
as to MO copying "other games" I presume you mean UO and possibly DF? Well UO did it well so why not copy it but in full 3D? I mean we have gazillon WoW clones and yet we only have 2 games that even resemble UO in any way. If this changes and we get a gazillion of sandbox games in the future that copy each other, then yes, you will have a point but til then it is a ridiculous claim.
I know somebody said DF does it already and better well, for me their pvp just does not feel right compared to MO's. Early on in beta when we did not have lag/desync issues, the game with only a handfull of features (besides pvp) was trully fun. Maybe once this is fixed, you will see what I mean
"err...Isn't whis what we all do when we play COMPUTER GAMES. Don't we all pretend that we are "heroes", "warriors", "mercenaries", "sports man" etc. Your example is flawed.'
Umm... No !!! No more than I pretend to be a racecar,iron, top hat, knight, king or bishop in any board game.
"Early on in beta when we did not have lag/desync issues, the game with only a handfull of features (besides pvp) was trully fun."
So with that being said, couldn't ANY game be "truly Epic" with the proper amount of imagination?

Its always something isn't? MO is always about the future, while the now is overlooked.
I win!!! LOL@U
This.

This is why you can never argue with MO fanboys. Whenever you bring up something that's wrong with they game they just say the equivalent of "some day, in the near or distant future, something will fix this problem. Not sure when, how, who, or what, but it will be fixed...Thus your argument is invalid".
He who keeps his cool best wins.
Then let us talk and think with our invalid argument. I mean, with 20 developers, we have to keep our hope high man. 20 devs had never been enough for an mmorpg, but more for a single player type game. So if us niche audience dont have invalid argument, dont expect a valid one everytime. Dont be proud of yourself either to attack a small company that way.

How is this not trolling as per Rules of Conduct? No reasons stated, and you talk about how you've said the same thing in other threads. You know I don't even play or care that much about MO. It's just a principle thing, like man give it up already. I was just reading that other thread you started that you claimed to always put a reason. Sure thing man, have fun with your vendetta cause most people get sick of it.

It's got potential, but after almost a year of them struggling to get the same problems that plague it now to be fixed without any luck.. one doesn't really have much faith in their ability to provide
I'll give my opinion of the "alpha." Yeah, I said it.
Clunky as hell. It feels like you weigh 1000 pounds with the way that you move. SLOW. Lumbering.
I logged in the first time, ran around a bit..graphics looked okay all maxed out. Went to the help menu and was reading about the game and how to do stuff. Hit a key to use mouse lock (z key I think? can't remember) and clicked on an option at the top. Clicked the Z key again and the game totally froze. I mean it hard locked, with green and white fuzzies all over the place. NO it wasn't my computer or anything, no overheating. Just a crappy programming job I guess. I can play Mass Effect 2 for HOURS, minimize the game for 4 hours and come back and play with no crashes. Not a single one.
The animations looked, IMO, absolutely horrible.
The character models, again IMO, looked absolutely horrible.
The sound..uhh..sounded, absolutely horrible. The music was ehh okay, the sound of unsheathing your weapon was okay. The other few sounds I heard really sucked badly though.
I knew a kid in high school once, he weighed about 300 piunds, and even that fat tub of lard could jump higher than your character can in this game.
I think I'll stop here. Sorry, but this game is another Dark and Light. IE - a total ripoff and wouldn't surprise me if they start scamming people's credit card numbers, double charging them, etc. Again, this is all my opinion.
After some months, there is still the desync issue. All the developers are inexperienced. So my trust in them to fix all the problems is shaken. And I highlighted the word "company" for you. Everyone always argue that they are small, indie, whatever...that does mean I accept a certain "roughness", I also accept that things take longer. But I do not accept a game in this state. After all, they are still a company selling us a product. A product that has AAA prices, to be exact.
Don't get me wrong, I am following Mortal Online. I am waiting for them to finally get it together and present us something that is enjoyable. However, I don't see its "awesomeness" any time in the near future. So argue with what is in at the present. I can also say "Oh, Star Trek Online is a themepark now, but in 5 years, they will have changed the complete system, made it into a sandbox and it will be so awesome!" (It's never going to happen)
The game isn't even niche status, it's cult status.
You talk about hope like the world will end if this game doesn't get released. In reality another sandbox game company will sprout out of the woodwork and you will pay an arm and a leg for some crappy LE box.
So stop defending a crappy product and start demanding quality.

It's unfortunate on how many levels this game fails, yet it has the capability of being good.
Three primary reasons why I wont play.
1. First-Person constant view. At least in DF, I could see my character and get into it.
2. Thievery in towns. This perhaps makes this game the ultimate in hard-core; always on pvp that favors the aggressor always and anywhere. There is no just calming down in a town to hang out as things get stolen from your bag. heh
3. The disproportionate amount of time and energy it takes from resource gathering and creating simple gear is too much of a time-sink for me.
I'll agree somewhat on #3 and more so on #2, but I'm not really sure how third-person allows you to 'get into' your character more than first-person. That seems wildly counter-intuitive.
I mean, I like third-person for the more realistic FoV, sure, but you have to realize that with the tactical advantage it offers, first-person would go unused. Might as well have an option to disable foliage or brighten up the night.
Thats right. I really feel like the world will end if MO dont release. You are right on that part and i think some others feel that way. There is nothing else. DF is alreeady a failure because of the horrible grind. I try playing many other mmorpg's, i hated them all and didnt survive more then a month. I played wow for 3 months, but this is because of real life friends. One day, i just decided to man up and say fuck them and leave wow for ever. I didnt made it in Aion either.
Now, i tried and currently play Mortal online. I never played UO or any other oldshcool hardcore pvp mmorpg. In faq, wow was my 1st mmorpg. With that being said, Mortal online is currently the only mmorpg who got enough potential to keep me in for ever.
I sure want quality, but if quality always have to Equal Blizzard, EA or any other main stream mmorpg games, i just rather support a niche company that have the game i demand. MO is currently the only game with the feature i always wanted for an mmorpg.

CCP made a niche game and it screams quality.
Wow... you might actually want to read the post you are blasting... as he was geniunely excited about the game... it wasn't a long post.. just a few sentences...

If you aren't satisfied with MMOs you could try a different genre or maybe just enjoy life. Seems you feel like you NEED to play a MMO, which is addiction behavior.
