Mortal Online = Potentially the first real next gen MMO?

[Rimsy]

Hi All - first time poster but veeery long time lurker

Regarding Mortal... well If this game lives up to 50% of what its currently promising it would be amazing. To relive the old thrills of running around in UO with very real sense of risks and rewards would just be awesome.
Great to see so many oldschool UO fans keeping the dream alive

Claimed!

I do prefer more interactive skills but I wish they'd have gone further by having attributes you can singularly increase with XP. Very similar to Asherons Call would have made it stand out a bit more for me. It certainly isn't the next gen as it's reverting back to a 10 year old games.

Hopefully some sort of Brit Bank equivalent in the game

There bouncing the idea of having player controlled AH.

This way the enemy faction can attack the AH and capture, so the guilds would have to hire either NPC guards or player guards.

I'll be playing Darkfall, which looks similar to Mortal from what I can see.

Erm no. MO is first person and UO. Darkfall isnt.

 

[Teki187]

Hehe, nah...I just dont really listen to the dev words anymore. I'll keep an eye on it, and hopefully get the chance to play it (beta or release), at that point I might be excited but not before I've had a chance to get hands on

Tombstone, the Devs come onto the IRC channel everyday to bounce ideas around and get feedback from the player base there. You should pop along and listen in.

There is a the main dev in there now talking about murderer status like the one in UO.

Hehe, if I get started on my feedback for an MMO, I will probably get kicked from the channel for nonstop talking

Trust me its worth reading. Come along, you wont get kicked for mass spamming, otherwise i'd be banned

Going to be awkward at the moment as I'm in the middle of several inter and intra guild discussions about selecting a headstart server for WAR

Stop making up excuses. Come in. It'll give you a UO feel right away

Hehe..maybe I pop in the next one, wouldnt look good for a guild officer to only be half listening to conversations about server choice for his guild

aye you weren't wrong - made me log into Europa, run around trinsic, semi rp with some of the old DoT guards and then almost died due to a wandering lich lord from a left over treasure hunt (people still do them on a dead server!)
good times

Well this game is defiantly being released, they have 2 publishers there talking with and the main CEO is now saying they will not sign up to a publisher unless they allow them to make the game they want and henrik the main dev said "the game we want is a better version of the UO fundementals, new in game footage will be out this month"

The chats are great fun.

 

[Tombstone]

Dont suppose they've dropped the names of the 2 publishers? Would be interested to know who is in the running

Seems there keeping that close to there chest.

[23:30]Ashton1: Henrik, dont surpose you'll disclose the publishers who are interested?

[23:33] <HenrikNystrom> Ashton, we are opend to hear from the publishers.

[23:33] <Ashton1> any names you can give us?

[23:33] <HenrikNystrom> big ones

[23:33] <Ndition> HenrikNystrom Ubisoft, Codemaster?

[23:34] <HenrikNystrom> well, almost all top 5 biggest publishers contacted me on and after GC, so its very interesting to hear from them.

 

[Tombstone]

Not Codemasters please.

Ubisoft might be interesting though

 

[Dj_Jestar]

Let's hope they haven't spunked all of their time/budget on fancy graphics.

Nope, there using the latest unreal engine.

So no time wasted.

 

[dbmzk1]

Erm no. MO is first person and UO. Darkfall isnt.

That's why I said it looks similar not the same.

There any estimated release date yet? I'm guessing not?

<Drakus> Henrik: Last time you were in here you mentioned in-game drugs

<Drakus> Can you expand on these drugs at all?

<@HenrikNystrom> drugs will work in a positive way for some time, when the drugs run out of the effect it will start a downside effect, it will get worse the longer you do drugs. and have to continue to get up there again

<Ashton> henrik, back onto the drugs topic, how are you going to fix the issue? what happens if x player takes drugs and then decides after he's gone past the point of no return that he doesnt like the path he took, will there be like a form of rehab or something to alleviate the downside to taking drugs?

<@HenrikNystrom> ashton, its not that deep actually, not yet thou hehe. so getting back wont take forever
