I have never actually bothered to write a message on here but I became incredibly bored so finally made an account.
Interest in the game has in no way picked up. You can see that very clearly from their stock shares which are bottoming out. Soon the company will not be worth the paper its name is printed on.
There has actually been a MASS exodus recently from the game with almost 100 accounts being unsubbed regarding recent GM decisions and some very shady practices.
The fact that GM's are allowed to play the game (Even though they say they are not) is a bit of a joke really. Take GM Herious for example, other wise known as ELY SWEED and more recently a member of RLC/FL.
Allowing a GM that makes game changing decisions to play the game that he is a moderator of and actively participate in any political actions is a bit of a joke really.
Until Discord is removed and Henrik digs deep in his daddies pockets to hire some quality professional staff the game will always be riddled with corruption and bias.
The community has even called out for this. Recent polls went up on the MO forum calling for Discord to step down and Theia to take up his mantle. It was massively in the favour of Discord stepping down until the SV machine stepped in to cover it up quickly. As with any nasty thing that ever pops up within the MO community concerning the staff and their less than unbiased actions it was brushed under the carpet.
SV needs to win back its community. Which they have no hope of doing. |

Originally posted by CroniteLore All your posts in MMORPG are pretty much of the same kind and following the same strategy: 1)quickly jump in the middle of a conversation, 2) pick someone thats blaming SV for one of the thousands given reasons, bash him/ her personally cause you disagree or simply do your work and 3 ) jump out of the conversation again. Your credibility is non existant and only thing you re trying to do is to create some noise around MO which is long dead for many but mostly the same reasons repeating all over again and again by the same people. MO is a shadow of a sandbox game since theres absolutely nothing regarding its half assed non working, shallow features that could allow someone to call it as you do. So to answer your question asking for a sndbox game out there worth playing or even a plethora of Sandbox games that you can chose from i will just have to say that there isnt but nor MO is one of them. And again regarding SV get your shit together. As much as you failing to see SV is a corporation. They are selling a product, they are advertising it (whatever means they are using its still advertisment) they are charging people for a monthly fee. They are even out in the stock market. As a corporation they suck donkeys ballz for a million reasons that have being discussed all over again and you know them one by one. They dont deserve support since they didnt even tried to fix their game after all those years and their only common tactic was their desperate tries to hold as many subs they could based on lies, hype and broken promisses based on the simple fact that there arent any worthy sandboxe games out there and a specific playerbase is hungry for a decent sandbox which MO never was and will never be. Now to finish this cause honestly i dont believe it worths anyones time to discuss with you since all you do again is simply jump in, write few lines down the road of insulting others without even bothering with posting any facts, acting like people around here are delusional and you are the voice of common sense will simply have to ask you to give as a few links to backup your saying that you are sitting in the same wagon train with the rest and you often posting your complains and concerns about this "awesome" game you are trying to advertise as we speak. And i ve asked you in the past in one of your usual jump in/ flame/ bail out posts who are you in game but you didnt even bother to ask so i have to ask you again: do you even play the game? |

Originally posted by argirop Spot on- I would add he/they also avoid any specific issue mentioned and try to talk "around" issues- When he/they are proven wrong (i.e. SV being a Corporation/Stealing EULAS/Corruption/etc) he/they go away (never responding) and come back later with more personal attacks or just to say "we are wrong/delusional/etc." -Then (when all else fails) it becomes either a) Its a "small team" OR b) We have to support "sandbox games" like MO or nobody will make them again. EDIT: It has been the same tactic again and again and again . Only now the fanboy numbers are almost non-existant. And when all else fails and the conversation is going against them- The "derail the thread and try to get it locked" tactic comes into play. |

Originally posted by deathshroud Hmmm- Last I looked this was the MO Forum, Deathshroud. Enron is another Corporation who ripped people off...Your point? MO had the stolen EULA up for over a year and was released and was publicly shamed by CCP over it (made the gaming news)- But if you are worried about War Z or want to discuss it being a rip off- This isnt the place. THIS is about MO (mortal Online) and SV (Star vault) and has nothing to do with any other game and what THEY do. EDIT: To MY above post c) Blame other people to change the subject or point out rip offs in other Corporations |

Nice try though but lets stay on the topic of "interest in Mortal Online" which has got to be near an all-time low. I mean, its a sub game asking for donations to stay open. That is what most would call a failed business model or a failed product.
"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 :-) |

In honest the only interest mortal brings to me is being able to snipe someone from outside of town by taking the time to learn where I had to aim to hit people standing infront of the butcher's table with a long bow :/

Originally posted by CroniteLore Lol yes it is not a "pile of shit" - it is worse. Saying MO it is a "pile of shit" is really disrepecting the status of "a pile of shit" lol - even shit have less bugs hovering over it.
And also as for there are "no other sandbox out there", buddy there are quality sandbox titles. EVE online is one. You just choose to bypass all of that either - A. you don't like that genre or B. just to make your broken point. |

Originally posted by Slapshot1188 same publisher yea but it isnt the same development team. Its also lazy copy pasting. But it happens regularly and MO wasnt the only mmo to have EVE's EULA. there are 2 types of mmo, imitators and innovaters. |

Originally posted by wireded21 I'm with you. Let me give it a second look and see what's going on. It's been a while, and maybe some improvements have been made. I too will document and give feedback on this thread. They are coming for you! |

Some improvements have been made in some areas. Regrettably, every "improvement" somehow breaks another feature or is implemented in a half-assed manner. Sad really.

Originally posted by deathshroud Death, give it a rest buddy. If Eves EULA is so regulary stolen why can I only find THIS article.... http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/11/09/mortal-online-plagiarizes-eve-onlines-terms-of-service/ (and again, this is a MO forum- Many Corporations steal but we are talking about the corporation- Star Vault- Who makes MO)..
Now, I know its hard to stay on topic- But excusing copyright infringment and/or theft by pointing the finger and saying "X company does it too" isnt going to fly. -Now we can get back on topic (which is all the sudden Interest in this stellar game) EDIT: If someone can quickly find the Public Statement by CCP that would be awesome because THAT was funny as hell. |

yea i have read all that beofre and i specifically rmeember someone pointing out a fantasy based f2p mmo that also had used eves eula but nobody seemed concerned about it. Thats when people started speculating that maybe it was the compoany hired to write up the eula's that had been copying them, or maybe both had been lazy and copied the EULA from EVE.
I have no reason to be defending MO here, im just pointing out the truth. there are 2 types of mmo, imitators and innovaters. |

Originally posted by StarI Still, when 95% of the threads and posts are about bugs, low pop, shady business practices, corrupt GMs or hilariious scandals and epic failures (and the rest is obvious fanboy/SV propaganda and "viral marketing"), one would perhaps think that the chasms of oblivion are preferable. I can't think of any game with worse rep than MO. And no, not all publicity is good publicity. OJ Simpson made a lot of headlines in his day, but did it really help his career that much? And a more recent example: News of the World. Lots and lots of coverage and media exposure - and what happened next?

the shady dealing of sv consist of....
auto subbing accounts at release. bending the rules to try to keep players ingame lifting bans on players who were previously perma banned. double charging players and leaving it down to the players to sort out refund.
cant really think of any other, possibly simply failing to deliver on what they promise but im not sure that is shady dealing. Its been a long time since any of them happened except the bending of the rules part, so its easy for players who didnt play during that first year to not know anything about it or be concerend about those issues afterall why would they be? Could happen again only time will tell.
if anyone can think of any others? there are 2 types of mmo, imitators and innovaters. |

Originally posted by SaintPhilip Love that EULA stealing, what a classic, funny as hell.
What that is saying is that basically if you play MO, as long as youa re not play EVE Online, you are entitle to a refund of fees paid haha :P
I think you guys should all asked for money back when that EULA was on MO :P |
