It looks like somebody does not know what they are talking about. When it comes to how Guild are in the game.
Well thats a joke. Promethian alliance has maybe 10 people on at any time. CIR has basically quit playing. Forsaken has maybe 3 - 5 people on at any time. NEver even heard of Harlequin. Wessex has like 5 people total that play the game. Most of 13 quit.
Sorry, your map is BS.
Again you're talking shit.
I'm a Priest within Wessex and this morning (off-peak time) we had 13 people in ventrilo. All online ingame no but we all follow and play.
Edit; And Promethian alliance is made of several large active guilds. The french / spanish that live in Moh-ki are even more active than us. I can not speak for the other clans within that alliance.
Last night there were 2 people in Moh Ki, 10 in Fabernum, and 15 in Meduli. 27 people in all the large towns combined.
And yes, if 10 people online at any time is considered a "large" guilde, there are a few large guilds. I do not consider 10 people a large guild.
Sorry, but about the only large town open in the game right now is Morin Khur. The rest are medium, and small villages. Since you are going on about how large "large" is.
Oh, so there are 2 people in the only large town last night? Sounds great. I hear morin khur is pretty abandoned also, although I did not travel there last night.
Isn't Fabernum supposed to be a large town? It has castle walls and an arena that is not open yet (Soon(TM))
How do you there was only 2 people in Morin Khur. When you did not even travel to Morin Khur. Oh, you are just going with hearsay, and not what really happening.
There is a diffrence between an important city, and the size of a city. Fabernum has walls, and an arena does not mean it is a large city. But, it can mean the is important city to the Tindremenes.
Poopbucket, Moh Ki and morin kur are two different places. Moh Ki is one of the least populated of the towns, because no one spawns there after character creation. Morin Kur is a massive city in size, but not as popular as Fab or Meduli.
And those other numbers seem off to me too. I've never seen Fab or Meduli have less than 25-30 people in the slowest parts of the day, so I gotta wonder how carefully you counted these players, and with what method.
In short, your estimate doesn't seem to correlate with reality as I've experienced it...
So morin khur is the only big city in the game? Is that what you are claiming? And therefore, all other towns having almost no people is normal, because all the people are in Morin Khur?
People thinking of buying this game should know beofrehand what they are buying. The towns are empty. Large guilds that used to be around left. Even if you like the game, why try to deceive people? It is pretty unfair to them.
Morin Khur is not the most populated town in the game. It is the largest in terms of land mass. In terms of population, the 'largest' would either be Meduli or Fabernum, but MK is also pretty active.
I hate to say it,but it sounds like you haven't even been in-game, let alone been in-game long enough to get a decent estimate of player population. Which begs the question, why would one forcefully assert something they have no first-hand knowledge of?
Last night there were 2 people in Moh Ki, 10 in Fabernum, and 15 in Meduli. 27 people in all the large towns combined.
First hand knowledge ^
That was your post. Do you have an active subscription to MO? Is that YOUR first-hand knowledge? Because there's people here who think those numbers are invented to push an agenda.
Please tell me what your in-game name is. I shall take you a guided tour of Moh-ki at an arranged time and I'll help you count. Last night I was not online because it was a thursday night however with there being 12+ now before primetime EU and usually a lot more during the main primetime/evening you're numbers seem a little off for Moh-ki.
What do you think first hand knowledge means?
Sorry, I'm daft: you ARE an active subscriber then?
What I am saying in terms physical size(How much land it takes up), and npc vendors in Morin Khur is the largest. But in terms of importants in terms of player, and trade from players in Morin Khur is not the biggest. The player population is bigger in Fabernum, and Meduli.
Town are not empty as you say. You even said that there players in three towns that is not empty. What Large guild that used to be around that are not? Maybe you should name some large guild that lefted the game. Deceive people how when I pointed to a third party map of guilds in Mortal, and you called it BS. That there seems you are deceiving people when you use hearsay. As In " I hear morin khur is pretty abandoned also, although I did not travel there last night." You should use facts, and not what you hear. Again you use the "Large Guilds Left The Game."
OMG
You actually have to walk places in this game??? OMG NO WAY! That would be a plus to me, you should understand that this game isn't for the mainstream gamer.
And you offer absolutly no reason that night sucks, but I'd assume it's because they are very dark making you light your path yourself, that's another + for me.
No general chat?!?!?!? OMG Your actually going to have to interact with other players!! (Another plus for me)
Don't be one of those whiny aholes that takes a few amazing features that make the game unique for an audience of gamers like me and then screws it up by contributing to the whining on the forums, also thanks I'ma try this game out.
People can't even buy things as it is now. Here is from fans on the forum.

sure, if you had a much larger population of crafters in town trying to sell stuff, then it wouldn't be as much of a problem. granted, you'd still need better tools since /yell just causes SPAM. but the problem is not only do you need a larger population you need a larger population consistently throughout the day.
I'm not saying the population won't increase over time, I'm just saying that if you want an economy then it should be easier for transactions to occur without relying on a higher population. Saying we'll get an economy once many more people start playing doesn't make any sense, since a vibrant economy is one thing that could draw more players to the game.

Yea, but you also have to consider that the real problem at this point is population.
People can buy supples, and It is hard to do right now. In that thread they are talking about how to make trading easier inbetween players. Maybe people can use the political map to find were guilds are, and trade with them. There is also the Meduli Trading Company, that has supplies that you might be able to buy.
I think it would be best if they put in what they want to put in and then wiped everything starting fresh. THen people will be back to grinding again and maybe the economy will grow. Right now I thionk many people got their chars up from the initial cheap books and are not logging in / waiting for more stuff to be added. IF they wiped and had things like guild mecahnics and houses with vendors implemented people would have more goals.
back in Beta people would come back after a wipe to re grind, but once there was nothing left to do they left.
to the op, ive only played in the beta and it was pretty empty, i undersand why they have only the lcoAL CHAT CHANNEL and the crafting system sounds interesting too, the thought that peoepl have to spend their skill spoints to craft is a clever idea, to many people that do craft are crafting for the wrong reasons, mainly people who work for these so called gold farming organisations. this kind of thing would mean they cant just randomly farm and spam out best items for gold in order to resell that gold through a third party portal.
i like anything that tries to counter interlectual property theft in these games, ive seen too many game economies come crashing down because these tyrants find ways to make money of the backs of other people with out doing the hard work, and any one who conciders playing a game hard work needs their heads looking at in all fairness.
as for the chat, dont you think it adds a feel of realism to the game ?? i certainly do, think about, could you really talk to some one on the other side of the world ??? it doesnt and never has made sence in any game of this theme and setting.
and travel is important, for an mmorpg the feel and simulation of travel is important to these games and their success, insta travel sux and makes the game to fast and easy. travel encourages so much more from the game.
Did they ever get player NPC vendors working? Will you need a house?
NPC vendors meaning Player owned vendors?
yes
