The folks at Mortal Online have updated their site, saying they will soon be sending out the first round of invites for the very limited next phase of beta testing, and revealing two more of the game's races.

In the past weeks we have been busy testing our network solution and the hardware for our first Mortal Online server. We’ve been very concerned about this phase, but to our big surprise this has been a very smooth period with impressive results (knock on wood). Our next step is to invite our first wave of external testers that have signed up on our website. As you probably know by now we have decided to split the “Beta” into several phases, or chapters, to be able to test the features in each phase in a relatively controlled environment. We will do this in small steps, and we will start by choosing only a handful of applicants to be able to effectively focus on some particular features.

In our first test phase we are focusing on melee combat (coupled with fundamental ranged combat) and balancing of weapon stats, like weight/speed/range/damage. The testers will be brought to an artificial (and empty) test-island in Mortal Online with an arena. In the arena testers will have access to a crafter which will guide them through a crafting menu, which will allow them to craft a number of armours and weapons in different materials. Please see the next topic (Mortal Online PowerPoint) to find some more info regarding crafting. No resources or skills are needed for this part as the crafting process in itself is entirely artificial.

this piece of software is looking good. The lore is very good so far. Interesting races and background.

Hopefully the guild The Mercs will be invited to participate in this early beta to offer their invaluable assistance in crafting a true ffa pvp gameworld.

I think I'm in love.

Crossbred races that affect stats and apperance...ZOMG!

Rebuild ruins/destroy them, build bridges, houses, tamable mounts...

I'm all tingly.

Ya because they will exploit and gain far ahead. I wonder how much the mercs did for dfo besides just play beta learn every trick, and not speaking to the devs about it and using it to there own advantage when the game hit?

These type of people should be the last type of people you would want in your mmo.
