Mortal Online

It is good they are more active and open with their community.  Still too bad they are focused on ffa pvp only, but that is the niche market they are shooting for.  I wish them all the luck in the world.

Not letting you disappointed, but first thoughts and plans about MO started on 2002y. DFo didn't have really much in 2002. I've got nothing against DFo, cause i think it's gonna be great sandbox game. The more success it achieves, the better for MO, and future sandbox games like earth rise.

U mentioned beta ? :>
Well.. there are some rumors about playable alpha at the end of november. But ... don't say that loud ;)

Not trying to rain on your parade, but DFO was in development way back in 1999. They had over 20 paid employees according to an interview way back in 2001.

MO is nothing but a fake pvp game that is made up of nothing more than a shitload of carebears. Go spend some time on their website and forums. They are some of the biggest carebears I have ever come across and the PVP in that game with their flagging system is nothing like the FFA open pvp centric game they advertize at all.

The carebears on their website have already gotten the Devs to put in systems to combat pvp in the game and the massive numbers of morons from websites like this haven’t even shown up to REALLY finish off ruining that game yet. It showed some promise at first, but has been going downhill fast.

Mortal Online will not be a PVP game, but a PVE game and it will not even be a good one at that. They try to make a world that people can’t get hurt however center it in a conquerable player owned and built world. Their focus and desires are for a PVP type game they are just too afraid to scare off the carebears who fear FFA type games and the possibility of getting ganked.

Anyway, for anyone that doesn't believe me just go start a thread about PK on their forums and your will be bashed to hell.

So they aren't blindly following the angry vocal minority.  Huh, maybe this game has more promise then I I initially thought.  Thanks for the update have to keep a closer eye on it's development.

Hello mister Troll. I suggest you find out what is this flagging system is about. How does it restrict you from attacking someone? dont you think if you want to PK there SHOULD be concequences? UO had this system too, why didnt if fail, furthermore its one of the greatest mmos out there.

Just read about the flagging system it pretty much reminds me of L2, and I like it , still brutal , but you will think twice before just killing a random guy without a reason, people just going out on a random rampage is not my cup of tea and I dont see any immersion in that, unless you have some inherent faction hatret which games like this arent about.

Problem I have is MO was started in 2002, has no in game footage, has only 1 screenshot, isn't even close to finished if you base your opinion on the evidence at hand. It's great they had people in there office taking pictures and stuff like Aventurine has , thanks goes to MMORPG italia for that. Now to my issue so far, there already selling merchandise............ to a game that pretty much has 1 screenshot and 1 cenimatic trailer

I mean If there doing things better than DF then .... where's there beta, in game footage, screen shots, people reviewing the beta, are they offering a free trial or is this going to be another Pay to find out type of thing? I mean seriously I can't realy say I don't believe the game is real or isn't at this point. I am going to have to wait and see but the Cenematic Trailer with the T-Shirts already throws up some flags so I won't be keeping an eye on it like I am DarkFall but I will check on it once in a while. Just hope it's not another money Grab like AoC and DnL.

Allow me to clear a few things up for you. :]

1. Henrik thought up the idea for Mortal online, and went on a marketing campaign for three years. Gathering a team, support, and money to start the project.
In 2005 the game began its development.
This year it was released to the public, and vague information has been released monthly.

The 'Cinematic' trailer you speak of is actually in game footage. Sure it's pre-scripted, such as the guards sharpening their swords, and the actions the characters use.
But it is all live recording. There is no pre-rendering in the footage you see. I think the dragon may be an insert, but I can't accurately give you that information.
The one screenshot is indeed an in-game picture.

Your main concern was the lack of viable information. The DEV team as purposely kept a lot of information secret. Their reasoning is simple: The less we show you, the less you are disappointed when some of it doesn't end up in the game. They have a whole pile more done then they let on, and Alpha Testing begins within the week. I'm pretty sure we can safely assume there will be a free trial period, but who can say. :P

Hope I've answered your questions.

Except..neither game is out. Yay for making comparisons of unreleased games.
