"I should point out that no other company has shipped out a beta on a disc before this." - Official Mortal Online Lead Community Moderator Starvault's reponse to criticism related to having a handful of players as the official "test" team for a supposed MMO: "We've just have another 10ish folk kind enough to voulenteer added tot the test team" (SIC) This explains much about the state of the game :-) |

I don't think anybody else finds this surprising at all.
Guess the donations aren't cutting it, eh? |

Well according to the article they lost $140k in the quarter. I think if you add up the 3 months of donations they are about $10k... and ALL of that money was supposed to be spent on external contract work so it should have no impact on the loss whatsoever...

A little bit of reading into this game steered me away from it. I became convinced based on user reviews its P2W.

It keeps getting better, so much for the "population surging".

Originally posted by Slapshot1188 How does SV even have $140,000+ (plus income) in quarterly operating costs with only 2-3 part-time employees? I'm convinced Mortal Online is noting but a tax shelter for Henriks father.
Starvaults "lost" well over $1,000,000 since release, give me a break. |

Originally posted by Hancakes Okay, speculation aside (I know nothing about Hnrick or his father-) I agree... How the hell could there be $140000 loss with the amount of devs? How is that even realistic? I didnt expect they were making much but a loss anything seems odd since they get subs + donations and have to have a low overhead...Weird. |

"Overall, according to the report, the model has compensated for the loss of license sales and Star Vault has seen positive development in all areas."
How does less income and more loss of money than last quarter translate into above statement? I R confused.
$72,000 USD in a quarter would translate to approximately 1600 subscribers on average AT BEST, assuming no other income other than subs, and assuming the donations don't count as income. LOL |

henrik responds on offical forums...
"We became today's stock company winner the minutes after we release the report, due to we went positive for the first time for a good time. The report goes back so it shows the change from going f2p, which now is very positive and been very successful.

MO is a money laundry business for henrik father Its obvious, no company would have survived after this long "Some of the less objective people tend to be close-minded though and basically disregard any possible shortcomings that gw2 could have." |
