General Discussion

Now there's a new forum for Mortal Online.
It's beginning to pick up steam as the new game to hope for.
If DF fails to release in the near future, MO may replace Darkfall in the fanboi vs troll wars.
Mortal Online may also replace Darkfall as the "perfect game that doesn't exist".
Right now we still see this. I want a great sandbox game. Response: Wait for DF it will be the bestest ever.
I want a good PvP game. Response: Wait for DF it will be the bestest PvP game ever. And so on.
But soon, this refrain could be replaced with Wait for Mortal Online...
I'm just saying.

Wow! Until I read your message I didn't realize Mortal Online had its own forum here at MMORPG.COM

To answer your question, if by the end of the year Aventurine fails to prove it has a product, then yes I believe we'll see a mass exodus to Mortal Online. However, I don't believe Mortal Online will become the next "perfect game that doesn't exist". We won't see fanboi vs. realists flame wars like we see on this forum. At least, not for a few years.

1. darkfall comes out
2. darkfall doesn't meet expectations of a decade of hype and dies
3. people move onto mortal online forums
4. mortal online gets delayed for many years like darkfall
5. mortal online comes out
6. mortal online doesn't meet expectations of a decade of hype and dies
7. people move onto darkfall 2 forums....

by step 13 the UO veteran crowd has all died of old age.

Yeah...I laughed when the page loaded......Nothing like pixelated tits shoved into your face.

On the issue, I don't really know.  I'd have to guess that Mortal will easily accumulate the same, variety of followers.  They both lie in that niche territory of fantasy, full-loot PvP...So yeah, I believe the same fanatics will show up, given that the devs are as secretive as Tasos n' Co.

That's funny, because it's already started.

"The game only has one screenshot, i'ts vaporware..."

"The developers are making an original game that is not like WoW. You just don't understand this and you are a troll."

Already posted in the MO forums.

And they're bringing a big bag of FAIL with them each time. ;) (its a joke. treat it as so)

Back on topic, assuming Darkfall releases...I think Mortal Online will realise the potential Darkfall couldnt with a more powerful engine and what seem to be slightly more open minded developers. Anyways Mortal Online is faaaaaaar away from any sort of realisation. No need to be concerned about it yet.

This is a recipe for a bland game after dev's cave into WoW's vanilla crowd.

Professionalism (Star Vault) versus Amateurism (Aventurine).

No comparison.

Mortal Online licensed the Unreal Engine, the team has a big budget and Epic doesn't just let anyone license the engine. You must meet a lot of expectations as Epic does not want their engine to look like crap from some amateurs.
