Just a heads up for anyone interested in this sandbox MMO - you can try it for free tomorrow. You just have to make an account on their site.

Looking forward to this, should give me a good idea of whether my enjoyment of the stress tests will convert into a genuine desire to pay money for an unfinished game :)
 
Yep its hard to tell atm if it has enough to sustain it to keep development going. Its one of those games tho that are worth supporting if you want something different to the standard MMO's getting churned out now. Doesn't look like there'll be any more sandbox style games for a long time, so its worth supporting em

Definitely has that oldschool Ultima Online feel to it and I hope it does well. Darkfall had similar ambitions to start with but DF devs kind of sold out really. DF is a grinding game with sandbox elements. MO is purely a sandbox with decent pvp and RPG elements. DF and MO tho are the only games I'd play in terms of MMO (and maybe Eve when I feel like it).

Anyway I thought this video was pretty cool and shows the main features (watch in HD)

LOL, Using the Darkfall Online promo music, had to laugh :D.
 
Is the game truly ready for open beta? Seems like only a few months ago some of the guys on vent were playing the closed beta and saying the state of the game seemed very early on and incomplete.
 
The whole video is just the Darkfall is Coming video by muffins, but for Mortal Online :D , except most of the things in it do actually apply to MO rather than DF
 
I must admit I keep trying Mortal in hope I will like it. But I don't want to invest time in it if they will just go bust -.-

Few months ago I remember playing it a few weeks ago and basically everything was broken -.-

I doubt they're gonna go bust, you can check their financial stuff online and last I saw they're fine. Just depends if the game does well.

They have everything they planned on for launch, all the main features and they've spent a lot of time tweaking and balancing combat. I already bought the game, but waiting for full launch to play it properly. Will play in OB tho

Don't think you could say anything is "broken". To me the main thing is whether theres enough stuff to do for the general player. Full loot, local banking, player made communities, decent alignment system, deep crafting system, animal taming, deep combat, mobs, wildlife etc should hopefully be plenty while they work on more stuff. Sieging will be a big thing they will be working on early on I think
 
Well from what I gather it's a further 1 month beta for a release in March... I hope this catches my attention as I wasn't able to play Darkfall at the start but I hope I can with MO.
