Wow! Until I read your message I didn't realize Mortal Online had its own forum here at MMORPG.COM To answer your question, if by the end of the year Aventurine fails to prove it has a product, then yes I believe we'll see a mass exodus to Mortal Online. However, I don't believe Mortal Online will become the next "perfect game that doesn't exist". We won't see fanboi vs. realists flame wars like we see on this forum. At least, not for a few years. |

Yeah...I laughed when the page loaded......Nothing like pixelated tits shoved into your face.
On the issue, I don't really know. I'd have to guess that Mortal will easily accumulate the same, variety of followers. They both lie in that niche territory of fantasy, full-loot PvP...So yeah, I believe the same fanatics will show up, given that the devs are as secretive as Tasos n' Co. ------------------------------- |

That's funny, because it's already started. "The game only has one screenshot, i'ts vaporware..." "The developers are making an original game that is not like WoW. You just don't understand this and you are a troll." Already posted in the MO forums.

Anyways Mortal Online is faaaaaaar away from any sort of realisation. No need to be concerned about it yet. Currently Playing Random shizzle!
Waiting on TERA, GW2, TSW |

This is a recipe for a bland game after dev's cave into WoW's vanilla crowd. |

Professionalism (Star Vault) versus Amateurism (Aventurine). No comparison. Mortal Online licensed the Unreal Engine, the team has a big budget and Epic doesn't just let anyone license the engine. You must meet a lot of expectations as Epic does not want their engine to look like crap from some amateurs.

I don't believe they restrict the use of their engine, where did you get that from? I'm sure anyone who can afford a licence can use it and some real stinkers have been made using the unreal engine. Some good games have been made with Unreal it but it's mostly crap. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unreal_Engine_games Creating your own custom engine that does exactly what you want it to do must be more professional than using somebody else's. I predict that they will severely regret not writing their own.

Creating your own in house game engine is a time sink. You have got to weigh the pro's and con's of both. Time will tell if Aventurine made the right choice. Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries... |

does mortal online look like it would be a good game? yeah, but cant really tell much atm. probably not vaporware but i doubt they will release next year... until then we'll have darkfall, same basic game, not as good graphics, but i would rather have crappy graphics and a fun game then graphics that give me a seizure every time i decide to swing my sword with all the bloom and glowy crap people are putting into games and calling them "good" or "realistic"...im sorry but the last time i went outside of my super secret underground gaming machine bunker nothing was glowing like the sun...except for the sun of course. now all the people that are saying "no i wont play darkfall now because mortal online is coming out next summer"...really? so you wait 7 years for a game to be released and when the same basic game that is shinier is (apparently) going to be released in over 6 months from now you arent going to play darkfall simply because the graphics "suck" when i find they are quite good and i'd rather have some practice in the FFA/Full Loot environment for 2 or so years before mortal is actually released

You won't know until the game launches. There are engines out there that suk and are not very flexible.

Originally posted by RogueSeven And why do you care what people play. Does that effect you or the game you are following ? I say NO it does not, so let it go. The game will stand or fall on its own. If its good people will play it. BTW: I demand and expect good game play and good graphics. Why settle for less.

I have a funny feeling Darkfall will end up like Dark and LIght in the end... Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL! |

It wont matter if Darkfall fails for me, as long I've can play another sandbox. But hey, we've got one, EVE. I love sci-fi but EVE is a litle to much flying around for me. But I tend to fall back to it now and then. ______________________________ __________________________________

Well lets just hope Darkfall don't fail? Playing: League of Legends! |
