I’ve been reading a couple of articles around the net, and I come to the interrogative…Why does mortal online sounds so much as Darkfall or is the other way around. This are some of the features I found similar or somewhat copy paste-Open pvp world, No grinding, Fpstyle, Free massive world and some others that make me think…why so much similarities and then I read another article that made so much sense, both teams come from the world famous Ultima Online. If this guys are out there creating something for the masses why don’t they merge and create a truly life size Xp for us, why so much copy paste…what do you guys think? And whom you think would Rank supreme?

PS please keep in mind am not bashing against any of this 2 games am simply telling what i think.

So trolls stay away....

There is no "I have no idea" or "let's wait and see" option.

Mortal Online: Nearly no information, only a few videos. Does have a very well known developer behind it so we'll see how it goes. Still WAY too early to tell.

Darkfall: We've all heard the promises. There is a long gameplay video out there somewhere which makes the game look a bit dated, but if the promises are there I don't think I or anyone else will care too much. Still very little beta tester/actual non biased feedback so you can't tell yet.

Why not ask us again when both of these games are closer to release?

Mortal looks great, no doubt, but it is sooooo far off still. DF is on the brink of being here now.

Mortal must be praying for DF to tank tbh, to inherit it's following and get it's shot, I am praying it dosent.

If DF delivers and is the game it seems to be, then I am gonna prolly have way too much time invested in it to jump ship for something so similar as Mortal.

Now my friend once both games come out i will ask again but the question would be. Witch is Supreme?.

For now am looking foward to both games since both of them promise something diff and new.

 As it stands right now, Mortal has nothing to speak for it. It has one pre rendered video and a few concept art shots. The video is the most misleading thing there is, because it is NOT the in game engine, practically a cincematic, and the company is already selling t shirts? wtf? 

Aside from that, there are fundemental differences between them that makes me throw my money on Darkfall. 

I'll vote Darkfall, mostly because there's not much info about MO, but there's couple of things allready...

Firstly, Unreal Engine 3. I don't really know much about this subject, so if I'm talking bs, correct me. I remember one other MMO with UE3, namely Fury. I also remember the horrible lag it had and lately I've heard people saying that while UE3 is wtfpwn in FPS games, once you put more crowd to same area, it sucks. Really really badly.

Other thing is, several characters in one account. This will destroy any hope for a working economy, GUARANTEED. Everyone and their dog will have a crafter alt.

i thought mortal wasnt fps?

anyway.. its far off if it happens.. wont be for years.. DF is in january!

If you not have lived under a rock its clear mortal is just a copy of Darkfall.

And Darkfall is build around engine the devs of aventurine have developed themselfs with core pvp.

Darkfall was first announce 2001 was totally rebuild around 2003 and will be released around 22nd of jan 2009.

Mortal online first announce april 2008 and release date tba 2010 11 12?

Build on a engine for fps shooters lol.

I cant say at moment who eventually will be most succesfull, but my money is clearly on Darkfall:)

DFO is a ripoff from ultima and meredian. DFO has features that all have been done before.

Please go away if you say it ripps off something. MO ripped nothing off DFO. The developers said they took inspiration from UO and some other mmo's and that is great in my opinion.  DFO did the same.

I really, really don't care who ripped of what from who... for me it depends which came will emerge as the better/best and that's what I'm going to play. Though it really looks like that will be Darkfall.

Whats mortal? Damn cant beleive that there is a game that is less advertised than df.

mortal online is entering beta next month, just so everyone knows.

That isn't true. The MO video is not pre-rendered - it is (allegedly) taken with the game engine (minus UI, and obviously greatly edited of course).

I read somewhere that MO is going beta next month and will most likely be out by Spring next year.

Mortal actually will release because it has a real developer making it.

OMG, you meanMortal didn't even make their own Engine? What self respecting Developer would use an Engine they didn't make for their game?

Oh yea, Bioware:

Depends if either release a PoS.  We will all know what DF is all about in a month or so, MO is much further away.

*shakes magic 8 ball*

"ask again later"

Mortal Online is trying to ride the coat tails of Darkfall, there's no comparison Mortal Online at the moment has 1 cinematic trailer, and 1 concept art photo of a large city no screenshots and no videos where as Darkfall has houndreds of screenshots and about an hour of in game video footage.

Plus Mortal Online at the moment seems to be busy selling T-shirts of Mortal Online, at the moment it's just not even worth looking into; you're looking at  3 to 4 years before Mortal Online even comes close to release.

I still dont acknowledge Darkfall as a game. It's just a scam, and it would really surprise me to see a confirmed release date.
