Firaxis]Mortal Online? Seriously?
The below is not a hype. I was not going make any posts promoting this game yet. But a few of us are delving in. I've had an amazing time for a week. I'm so impressed with the game I'll play solo, and really don't care who joins. In fact, I won't push this game at all. If this list excites you, definitely come try it out. If not, don't worry about it:
Highlights:
- Not a fucking pre-pre-alpha. Game has matured into an actual game. Like, just recently from what I am gathering. In fact, this is the reverse side of the alphas. It was a rough game that is now kind of done.
- Major world pop
- Red/blue open pvp
- Full loot
- Chiv style combat. Looks more clunky than it feels playing it, and *a lot* of options. Every weapon, every change in material used to craft said weapon, handles differently.
- Snooping / Thievery
- Nowhere is safe. Nowhere.
- Seriously fast char development. We're talking days to fully complete a combat toon. Days. Like night play will get you there.
- Taming of pretty much anything. Dominating too.
- Amazing crafting/weap/armor system. Seriously. Ask me in mumble.
- Most player-to-player and player-to-world interactions I've seen in a game. Nothing tops the random shit that happens in this game. Feels like UO all over again.
- Deep mechanics that are subtle but there and I appreciate it. Meticulous design at every turn.
- F2P to get started. Just grab it on steam and make an account. You can use skills up to level 60.. sub and use them at 100.
- Open world home/city/keep building
- All banks / resources in the world are localized
- Heavy learning curve, but simple and rewarding after that plunge
- Just added a whole new continent
- Adding voxels next
- The list can go the fuck on for a long time. Check in with the guys in MO channel.
I'm really only interested in people joining up who look at that list and say fuck yes. Cause it's delivered, at least to my taste. No one has all of the answers and that's part of the fun we're having. If you wanna get in on the ground floor and learn along side, it's a good time to do so. I guess there are things that you can craft and do that no one or very few people even know about. That's amazing. Don't join up thinking we're going to be rolling the red carpet out, outfitting you to go die 5 feet from the bank and log off.
