Could this be what Darkfall may never be? I mean, they actually have a target release date..

Is your goal to face a legendary monster? Well, that is usually suicide – if you can find one. But if your guild would actually manage to kill one, it’s dead. Gone. Rare monsters and quests do not resurrect or come again, whether it’s an ancient beast, a crumbling temple, an island rising out of the sea or a great ritual that fails or succeeds. You might get away with an item never seen before, or the unique scar that tells about the experience. There are not many of these opportunities but they are usually important enough to affect the whole world and its history. All you have to do is be at the right place at the right time.

lol after reading the features section I couldn't help but think of Dumar.

Yeah.. as soon as the page loaded the first time I thought of him.

FINALLY AN MMO DONE RIGHT!

But he won't play it, say the gameplay sucks, and continue to make us all miserable with his presence. 8(

****Insert obligatory shot at Dumar here****

This game sounds awesome! Free to do as you want or wish I understand the whole anachary will ensue arguement but if they can pull it off it will definetly get my sub. Just reading the FAQ and the whole Deva system sounds like a cool twist on the FF Professions setup. Of course it is to early to pass judgement but I will admit I am pretty excited about this games potential.

The fuck. Saw the title, expected Mortal Kombat, and all I get is a shitty soon-to-be vaporware? Damn you Twobit

I dunno the "idea" of no respawns of mobs will prolly turn into the mob respawns eventually with a different random name generator type thing. I mean mmo players would pick the world clean in a matter of months.

1. Hmmm so you kill a rare wolf and it's gone? Forever? Model is never going to be reused? Abilities? What about Rare-wolf-001 with scratch, Rare-wolf-002 with howl, Rare-wolf-002 with bite? Or will it be Rare-wolf-004-blue, Rare-wolf005-green, etc?

Assuming they do make rare unique models and monster abilities for rare mobs are they going to be massively super hard? Like require 40 high end players to even dent its health? So 99% of the rest of the game isn't these mobs?

[Draegan]

Damn, I thought of Dumar as well when I watched the intro.

This could turn it around for Dumar.

I, like others, wanted to voice the following statements.

1) I came expecting Mortal Kombat online and was dissapointed by this likely future MMORPG failure.
2) I thought of Dumar immediately.

Addendum:
3) I thought of of Blizzard's April Fools day Molten Core promo when watching the vid and it's underwhelming feature list. True first person view!?!!? Holy shit, this is going to rock the industry to it's core!


This is a feature that entices me though:

Yes. By creating an account you create your own Deva, or “shared soul”, in the game. Your Deva can have several characters connected to it. The Deva grows in power as each of your characters do and can even learn skills that all your characters will benefit from. Read more about skills and the Deva further down.

I wonder if Dumar has "A whole new world" from Aladdin constantly playing in the background on repeat.

[Draegan]

This Q&A is for Dumar:

Q: Is Mortal Online comparable to any other game out there??
A: It’s never easy to compare your work to others. The core team comes from the beta days of Ultima Online and wants to build a PvP game in the same spirit but with today’s technology. Some of the very first MMORPG’s had features we have always seen as primary for the genre, and we are surprised to see that so few have developed games based on those features since that time. In short, we find many of today’s MMORPG’s impressive and fun, but see most of them as “cooperative PvE” games with only rudimentary PvP functionality. This makes us even more determined to see our vision come true in Mortal Online.

"Teaser created using in game content and technology."

If thats in game footage I am intrigued. A whole lot of peripheral movement and animations that are pretty damn good if thats true.

I'm not sure how playing an MMO in first person is going to be. I'm skeptical, but I'm open to something different. People like customizing their own look and if they can't see themselves people might be pissed.

Then again, they already admit they are niche, and the people filling this niche probably don't give a shit.

[TheYanger]

It'll be fine? I mean everyone played EQ in first person seeing as the third person camera was ass. It wouldn't work in WoW, but it could for other games if developed with the limitations of such in mind.
