Mortal Online

A pretty good looking game and I for one hope to play it when it comes out. Views?

**MxO_Neopill**

My thoughts?

Wow, another medieval game with swords, axes and fire. Havent publishers realized we have discovered the wheel, and lasers and stuff?

Another waste of bandwidth.

Hey, I won't bash another person's views.

Though I ask that you look through it and some of the threads in the forums to see what they are offering.

Well, actaully if the teaser trailer actually tells the truth about the gameplay it might not be to bad. Realtime combat is often promised in MMOs but never delivered truly. It sounds like they are going for an Oblivion/morrowind gameplay style... but again, those types of things are often promised but never delivered. So we will have to see.

It's running on the Unreal Tournament 3 Engine, with a First Person View so they are trying to get a low ping count.

Uh I'm with Neopill, looks like a carbon copy of most of what is out there already. Just with updated graphics.

When did I bash your views? You asked my opinion. Or are you a publisher? Because I think I might have been "bashing", lol, them. Not you dude. Get it straight.

What? did you think this post of yours was going to be all rosy and sunshine? dont ask opinions if you cant handle a negative one my friend.

He didnt say you bashed his views , he was respecting your opinion numbnuts.

But also, I hate to see another WoW games as much as the next guy, but I have come to terms with the fact that this is a genre that will never go away, and as much as I hate to say it, most of us geeks/nerds/RPers are more into the Mid evil/fairy/elf fantasy worlds then any of the other fantasy genres. So its basically trying to reach out to the bigger numbers.

I also think they are gambling with thier franchise by making the graphics demanding. But that is the easiest way to get noticed, make your game look great. Another gamble is hoping WoW's player base will dwindle enough to have a decent chunk of players come play their game. WoW has been out for quite a while now, and it will be another year (at least) until Mortal Online is released so I'm sure they are hoping for WoW's players to get tired of it and go else where by then.

But one serious disadvantage they have is this franchise is totally new, kinda popped up outa nowhere and has no history to it yet. Whats the draw other then to just try a different game. So I will say again, we will just have to see later. I for one like the image og it so far (because it reminds me of oblivion) and I do gotta give them credit for making a pretty dam good teaser trailer, but teaser trailers dont make good games.

**MxO_Neopill**

They are not NUMB!

And the implication of bashing was what I was reffering to bro. I apologize if I seemed a bit hot headed in my view. Just tired of the same ole' same ole' "lets post a swords and wizards and castles game opinion poll", in a SCI FI game, with Matrix Junkies at the helm. Our breed is more than capable of finding our own "filler game" in between jack-ins.

It's a FFA PvP with very few instances possibly, and is trying to stay away from the standard "Go here, kill this etc."

And there's no need to fight and insult guys. But yes, I was saying I won't bash other people's views.

Roger, sorry if I came off in any hostile way. It was unnintentional.

**Panderai**

It's not problem Neo. SMILEY

**SolidRevolver**

Will it be free? Because if there are no levels and it is measured by skill, why not just play Metal gear Online (or other Online games... I suppose SMILEY

But I do mirror the thoughts that if your making an MMO, there is no law that it should feature lots of races and swords and mystic armor and stuff. World of Warcraft have nailed that and the only way to knock it off its perch is to create something genuinely new and exciting.

**Panderai**

WoW is what MMO'ers call a themepark MMO. It's got rides, and it'll add new ones every so often but you just ride them over and over again.

MO is going for a Sandbox game, where you create the rides. It's like Ultima Online, only with new technology, and much more.

It doesn't have levels, but there are skills you can train.

It's like Oblivion's sytem (without the level).
