Mortal Online has been released?

When I first jumped in UO all of those years ago it was a magical experience.
Landing in the outskirts of a town with a paractice weapon, a piece of Ranger Armour and that was it - no Welcome, just get on with it.

Those first few days of exploration were amazing and all I was doing was killing bunnies and the like.
I hope this game can bring back some of that magic.

PK'ers I won't have an issue with.
As in UO they will eventually turn red and be shunned by all major towns.
PK'ing was rife in UO and yet we still managed to have a good time.
Griefing is the only annoying part - making people go grey, forcing them into making mistakes and getting them killed.
I'm not 100% sure if they are "part of the game".
PK'ing and theft (eventually) are intended parts of the game.
Tricking somebody into going grey and getting them killed - I still see this an an exploit of game mechanics.

A few things I will say if you get this to avoid frustration...
If someone attacks you in town you need to type Guards this will alert the guards and they will kill the pker/attacker unless you hit first and call the guards on your self.
Griefing is allowed so when your killing mobs be careful someone doesn't stand in the way when you swing to flag you so they can PK you.
When grinding on mobs and they die and drop loot. Target the bag by pressing tab (when looking at it) and then press R to open the bag. If nothing comes up your client is corrupt and you will need a re install.

Was a few more but can't remember atm.

Any questions just ask.

You don't need to keep pressing tab on loot bags or npcs etc. Just pressing 'R' does the trick.

I dont think he means cap a single skill, but reach your overall level cap (equiv of hitting 750 in UO). I think max is 1000 across primary skills in MO, secondary skills don't count towards the cap.

750? What game were you playing? :p

I'll be picking up MO as soon as I can afford it though, sounds promising.
 
Theres some promise in this, finally got it downloaded and up and run. Someone was even kind enough to set me up on a whole armour set.

Its a pretty big learning curve from the off, and having never played UO it reminds me ina some ways of early DAoC.

It crashes....A LOT....but I can see were they are going with it.
 
I randomly purchased this last night. I really shouldn't have, can't afford it really. Oh well, done now :D

I'm hoping to join a guild of bandits who murder and rob. Is that viable? :D
 
Sure mate I'll be on after training. I'm still a noob if I'm honest I re rolled a char because I didn't know the town, my char had no money I couldn't buy a torch and I got stuck lol.

Hehehe...a pity that you cant be seen as a ghost...I used to love running about as a ghost in UO saying OooOOO OOooOO oOOo OOO until I found someone who would use the spirit speak skill to understand what I was saying :D

(I actually maxed out my Spirit Speak skill in UO so that I got the sexy title Grandmaster Medium :D )
 
I left my machine downloading the client yesterday evening and by this morning I was ready to go.
Purchased my account earlier so I'm going to get online this evening.

First thing - going to "re-create" my Grandmaster Smith from UO days.
So mining a plenty and learning all those Smithing skills.

Thanks very much for that - think I'm going to give this a shot in a few days. Not a fan of the first persion thing but conversely I'm sooo friggin bored of WoW and miss UO I may just like it
 
It's buggy and unstable but I just like it...there's just something about it. Like someone said it has a certain charm about it that MMOs such as WoW are lacking (and I do think WoW is a good game). Kinda reminds me of playing Legend of Mir as a kid.

I've been tricked and owned on numerous occasions, mainly due to buggy functionality but I still laugh. For example you can tame a pet, something like a pig, rename it to pig then let it congregate with other mobs. Obviously players can't tell the difference so attack the pet, get flagged and every man and his dog owns them. I thought well if I can't beat 'em I may as well join them so done the same for laughs. I sparked a trigger of events that resulted in some dude running around naked with no weapons beating the **** out of anything that moved. He got the criminal status after killing quite a few people then some dudes on horses turned up and owned him. You'd never get something like that in WoW, it was absolutely hilarious.

After playing it I'll agree with what I said before, this game has absolutely epic potential. So many issues to get through but there's an absolute gem amongst the current wades of ****.

Is it possible to switch to third person? May sound daft but I remember in Neocron sometimes it was much more fluid to control and fight in Third person rather than first. Depended a lot on what you were doing though.
 
Does anyone know if the server is up at the moment ? having a few problems on the character creation screen.
