February 1st is the date announced by the creators, Star Vault for their upcoming full PVP MMO, Mortal Online. Originally Feb 1st was to be the release date for the game, but they have instead decided to go into open beta until they reach gold status.
What the heck is Mortal Online?
As one gamer put it “It’s not for your casual gamer”. Mortal Online is a first-person MMORPG in an open player-controlled fantasy game world for the PC. Player versus Player (PvP), or rather Player to Player interaction plays an important part in Mortal Online as trading, learning, combat, rumors and alliances are largely dependent on communication between players.
What this means is with players in control, building their own houses, setting up guilds with their own keep and controlling the in-game economy, you are truly in the wilderness. Their claim is to move away from grinding and get you right into the thick of things where the real fun begins.
There are no levels in MO, you are free to travel the world in any way you like, limited only by the terrain, mode of conveyance or dangers in the environment. In the same way you can use any sword you like, provided you have the necessary skills to wield it.
Also you do not begin the game with a specific class, but there are presets skills and abilities you can choose from at the start. The entire world is PVP which means you can be killed anywhere so guilds and teams are important. Like most MMO’s there is a monthly fee to play.
The game has incredible graphics, but we all know that does not make a good MMO. As much as the idea of player controlled, hardcore PVP world sounds great we also know that does not always work out.
Only time will tell what will become of MO, but if you want more information check out their official page at http://www.mortalonline.com
