OK, I know there's gotta be a post about this game, but what's everyone's general consensus about it?
  It looks to me like it may be better than DF...  maybe I'm just bias because it's made by epic and I love gears of war...
  thoughts?

  Mortal Online is like Darkfall 5 years ago. They don't have any media out except like a theatrical teaser, text and loads of promises.
  The intellectual property, innovation and design vision is second rate to Darkfall anyway.

I see it as something to check out if DF doesn't make it.

Sure, it's just that this game is far away from release. We've seen at least 3-4 highly promising ffa pvp games vaporize over the past few years (Trials of Ascension, Thrones of Chaos, Twilight Wars etc), games closer to release than this one. 
  Apart from the fact that they have nothing to show for really, except a decent looking website and walls of text, it looks like a good game, in 3 years at best.
  The fact that they produce a theatrical trailer (with no game mechanical relevance whatsoever) before they produce any game footage or screenshots, raises a few questions.
  Looks good on paper I agree, but I bet most people here would rather /wrist than take on another 2005 DFO style 2 moar weeks.

Last time I checked there were no screenshots. I'm gonna have to suck up and admit some of these fpv shots look pretty fucking good. Touched up like crazy, but still.  1h axe fpv looks pretty intense http://www.mortalonline.com/screenshots

Question is, what is the gameplay like? Is it going to be another grinding MMO, or what? Screenshots can only tell so much, and personally, it could be in CGA for all I care as long as the gameplay is good.

Agreed, substance over cosmetics any day.
  If I recall correctly, it is supposed to be skillbased and manually aimed. Had no idea they were aiming for a 2009 release though, seems unrealistic.

too early to thumbs up or down, that'll be a couple years. the biggest plus i see with this game is it's another game in the market aimed towards pvp/pk as a main focus.
