Those of you disagreeing with the author… what game are you playing? It certainly cannot be Mortal Online because everything he wrote is accurate!

The game isn’t anywhere close to product suitable for release; in fact, playing the Open Beta (as much as possible between crashes) I have gone from highly anticipating the game to almost dismissing it as another mmo failure due to premature release.

The game looks nice, but when you are able to get some playtime (between the glitches, bugs, and crashes), it is a mind-numbingly boring game!

Mortal Online was my most anticipated game of 2010; I am profoundly disappointed at the state of the game. If Mortal Online is released in 2010 it will be a disaster.

This game should not be in Open Beta; it is not even in a state for closed beta. Mortal Online is clearly still in the alpha stages of development. They have the graphics and art, but the content and mechanics are either non-existent or completely broken.

Lol. “I couldn’t find one quest!”

From both the writing style and naive, unobjective perspective, its obvious this article must be from some junior writer that was still in elementary school when all the real MMOs came out.

Sorry, I have to agree completely with Mike. I’ve been playing this off and on since open beta first started. I want very hard to like this game, but it kinda blows. There really isn;t much to do, the combat is the most laughable thing I’ve seen in a long time, it’s not realistic at all. The gathering professions make me sick to my stomach they are far to stop and go, doing half hammer swings and then stopping abruptly in the middle of it. Npc’s have very little to them and the general atmosphere of the game is severely lifeless. I know what this game is aiming for, and I know what old games like Ultima were like, but this is a sad excuse for a game at this point.

I give it a 9/10 for graphics but a 2/10 for everything else in it’s current state. I don’t want my hand held though a game, I hate games like Wow and Aion, but a game that is as boring as this isn;t even worth the time of day. I understand that this is all being done by a small gaming company and I hope they get more funding so they can continue adding to the game, but in it;s current form it is a failure.

btw, bolle, I find it hard to take someone opinion seriously when they never use the full word “you” and instead say “u” every couple words. It does not make me believe that you infact have the patience to play a game and find out what is wrong and right with it.

Ok, clearly, this game is not for you, go back to wow or one of it’s clone and leave this game to the big boys :p

Oh dear, I just had a laugh of ur preview post of Mortal Online mike…then I find this too.

Mike, just stop playing games that are too hard for u…u need a game where npc can handheld u thru all the lvls, tell u what to do etc…

And stop posting these rediculus post about Mortal Online when u dont anything about the game. Back at the forum we get posts like these once in a while and everybody know its some kid that wandered in to us from WoW (or some other crappy themepark game).
I recomend Aion for u if ur tired of WoW.

Are you a fool? No quests? Do you not know what this game is about?

Nothing to do in the game? I’ve killed minotaurs, lizard men, terror birds, been in giant battles, wear full plate and have steel weapons. Plenty to do in the beta. Gotta have some sort of reasonable expectations for a small independant gaming company making an mmo for a niche market (hard core gamers).

What exactly do you believe is incomplete? Seeing that you wasn’t aware that there are not quest, I’m not use you know what you was looking at. MO is a sandbox game (ie Ultima Online). I will agree that they are not ready for release but most of the features are in the game and working. The gui does need a major facelift, mostly in the crafting system, but fighting is real time, taming, gathering, crafting, housing, thievery, etc are all working very well.

I don’t think a lack of content or features is even the main problem for MO at this time, lag and crashing seem worse so far.

ah, I see. Well I actually like that there will be no quests. But even so, there are just way to many things that aren’t incomplete at this stage of development.
