I love how almost always the only good news that Henrik has is the number of registered users on the forums.
"Just like in the beginning of 2013, we have in the second quarter could see a slightly positive trend as the number of registered membe…
It seems like this game has reached rock bottom in terms of general interest. Action is dying off since the introduction of the "free to play" model, and there isn't even much activity here anymore. That's not to say I think the game will die--I …

Wow, it went from needing $974 to funded in one day... and it looks like it's all from Aralis' donation. Dude was on the top of the rankings last month too, with a $2500 donation, he must have a lot of money, and be willing to throw it away. Man, …
Well, if anything can help Mortal Online slowly make its way to profitability, it's this (even this probably won't be nearly enough, given just how few players there are). At the same time, lol wait for the community to become completely terrible w…

As for me, it's mostly because I think Henrik is a snake oil salesman. He keeps promising things he can't do, failing to meet deadlines he imposes, and just generally is an incredible…

Let's put everything in perspective. The top donor gave $1000, the next top gave $250, and then a few people gave $100, and most everyone else gave $50 or less.
That means SV has raised at most $2000, and probably will raise $2000-3000 total from …
Wow, it's nice that they post the highest donors. Then we can see in real-time, just how little money they get... I'm willing to bet they get maybe a couple people donating $250.... which means the whole campaign might net them $1000-2000 total....…
Well, we knew several months ago they were down to 3-4, so it doesn't surprise me too much that they're down to 2. Paratus works with them too, but I think he lives in Canada or something?
Well, I'm sure it'll net them some money, but there's no way it will give them more than a month of extra leeway. They're still hemmorhaging money to the tune of $30K USD every month, if I remember correctly, and no donation scheme is going to make…

I was gonna say well maybe Henrik will rage and just sell the project, but then again who the hell would want to touch any code that Seb has made.
I actually think SV tried to sell MO (or get bought out by a bigger …
This is a dumb idea because SV won't be able to create a sustainable business off of this sort of donation. It may make them break even for, say, a month (doubtful, if I remember correctly breaking even just one month would require $10K more than t…
Originally posted by username509 The idea that lowering the monthly fee would bring in more players is just plain wrong. They could actually increase there monthly fee if they really wanted to. Right now with the exchange rates I believe Mortal On…

Granted, a Christmas miracle could happen and we could see them fold early. That'd be a Christmas miracle for most MMO players to have one more crappy MMO out of the market. Or a Christmas miracle for Henrik, whe…
So going to post-Dawn levels counts as "exploding" nowadays?
But seriously, we'll see what happens in 2-3 months... Nobody questions Henrik's ability to hype up a patch--it's making a good patch with lasting interest that seems to be impossible …
