The October newsletter for Mortal Online reveals a number of new additions to the game's closed beta test. The ability to tame and ride mounts, as well as build your own home have been introduced to the beta with this Monday's patch.
The newsletter also mentions that they have opened the beta test pool to another 10,000 testers. This was made possible largely due to a host of performance fixes, including the implementation of the "MassiveLOD" system.
