Hey Flintwick, just started trial, my name is Teekla Tantrevalles, I'm a Veela, hoping to be some kind of Ranger type of player (mostly archery and animal control, some minor magic, though I don't know whether that combination is viable), I've just started in Toxai. It would be nice to just have a chat with someone experienced in-game.

[Flintwick]

Awesome gurugeorge. We have a few more who are also playing the trial at the minute, one of which has started in Toxai. If you head down to the Mortal Online division and post in the hookup thread, you will find it easier to find people. The details of the voice comms is in there too!

Cheers,
Flint

You are of course welcome to your opinion... although I am not actually sure how much of an opinion you can gather in just 10 minutes of gameplay heh.

For anyone else interested in knowing, we currently have four brand new players who tried out the trial, and I believe all of them have subbed, a couple of them subbing two accounts. That to me is a good sign

We also have a couple of our older players back re-trying the game, and being very happily surprised by the progress.

It is indeed a great time to be checking out MO!

Ooops forgot to post the new video, made by our friends and allies in the Duchy of Wessex. It starts out Dark, but brightens up later.



And the subsequent destruction of a Risar warboss!




Enjoy!

I've been having an absolute blast with this game. I subbed 2 days into the trial.

It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, it is pretty hardcore... But if you appreciate a challenge and a well thought out game that shows a lot of promise of even greater things to come, I really don't think you could do better than Mortal Online.

You do need to approach it with a sense of adventure though, as there is no hand-holding and precious little information, even at the very start. Do not be embarassed to ask questions. Hook up with us in TS (We use the Wessex guild's Mumble server, but let us know and we'll pop in to TOG TS with you if you let us know you'll be on) if you're starting the trial and we'll help you avoid some of those painful mistakes we made in the early hours of our MO careers!!

Honestly, it's highly likely that you WILL be frustrated with your first 10 minutes in MO, as everyone playing MMOs these days is conditioned to the directed experience that is the standard. But beyond that, you'll start to find the raw beauty, and more and more to love about it.

If anyone would like, you are welcome to read the rather long and meandering tale of my first few hours in the game. Note that the instability that plagued the early days of the trial are now well and truly gone.

Look. It even prompted me to create my first ever custom signature image. It MUST be good!

Im only new to the game, and I gotta say.. Im fairly impressed.. sure I hear of things that are bugged and whatnot.. but mostly in general I dont even notice them.. The game is very very playable as a new player (as long as you have a bit of a guide) and the things that other people miss or look forward to are just overlooked as I am overwhelmed by the content that is already before me..

The only thing I really really had/have an issue with so far is the lack of tooltips and information in the UI and various skill screens, it makes it very frustrating at times just to alt-tab and browse forums to find out exactly what increasing your riding skill does for you for example.. but through word of mouth and communicating more experienced players you can find out.. other than that.. this game is awesome!!

Ok.. I will admit.. for the first few hours I was lost.. absolutely positively clueless.. there is a steep learning curve which doesnt last long (after a few hours and a bt of friendly guidance).. but in the trial you are given plenty of time before you are succumbed to the more perilous misadventures of Nave..

There is also wonderful atmosphere in this game, and its not from the scenery, its mostly from the other players, and the rpg attitude that they take towards each other.. its not hardcore role-playing, but more an element of cause and effect that I have not seen in many other MMOs.. and all this is just a scratch on the surface..

So if your willing to let your imagination run wild, I think there is alot you can take from Mortal, sure the game is still under heavy development, but at the moment its at an awesome point to get in, get accustomed and found your Ancestory.. Mortal will be around for a long time..

and now.. it appears I have rambled.. haha..

oh yeah when/if you ever get to Nave, come see me.. and I will get you dressed good and proper.. just bring something to Barter with :P

Glad to see you guys are having fun . As for me Flint sorry but I came back for a week and nothing has changed in my book. Yes the game has a lot of great potential and they have some good stuff coming up. But as far as I'm concerned they haven't done anything has is going to keep my interest .

Log in craft maybe, kill stuff to raise stats but that's it as far as I'm concerned . I was hopeing that things changed between the last time I played but in my opinion it clearly didnt. I have a lot of respect for star vault and what their trying to do but I only have so much patience and to me mortal online is still that paid to play beta .

All the best for those who stick with it .
