    TC is here but where are the players?

    Oh that absolutely goes without saying! I've said several times over, I am not, never have been, and likely never will be involved with MO2 beyond lurking this forum.

    TC is here but where are the players?

    I cannot say I disagree, however I'm coming from a place of ignorance. I spent many years in MO1 and never made the leap to MO2 - mostly because they reneged on their early promise of allowing *some* transfer of progress from MO-1 to MO-2. I also get into having a proper career and life, one in...

    TC is here but where are the players?

    Might have grown out of it tbh. There's hardly a thrill in butchering people or getting butchered, the thrill is in overcoming adversity which you don't really do. As for the subject of "balance" we've argued back and forth for years that the entire idea of balance is subjective, and that a...

    TC is here but where are the players?

    Sure, launch was bad. So you really gotta razzle dazzle them with some real polish and marketing once it's stable. Yeah, they botched it. Have they made significant improvements since then? I sincerely do not know, I never played. If they have, that might retain players. There is something to...

    TC is here but where are the players?

    Mortal Online suffers from two major setbacks. 1: A lack of a proper marketing campaign. They don't have anyone hyping the game on streams, on YouTube, on Rumble, Twitter/X, anywhere. The only people who know about TC are the people who follow this game, actively play it, or the lurkers like me...

    When Will TC Animal Farm Will Be Release?

    Two things wrong with that memory of yours. 1: It cost me next to nothing, I bred them and created the bloodline of them that made them run fast and cost no stamina. 2: If anything you probably abused the travesty of the old flagging system and blueblocked me to flag me grey. That being said...

    When Will TC Animal Farm Will Be Release?

    They ruined the point of farms in the first game anyway. People complained that players were "printing gold" It devalued the animal materials market while making the minerals market more lucrative.

    The Return Of Red Names Confirmed

    I think my biggest gripe with flagging and territory control from MO-1 was that even if a guild controlled a town and territory, they still were subjected to Tindremic/Khurite Law. That they could still be called "murderers" and the only real control they had was to "blacklist" characters that...

    The Return Of Red Names Confirmed

    The point he's making is that when people say MO2 is a PvP game, it carries with it the connotation that it is a competitive arena game like Mordhau or Chivalry, or For Honor or so on and so forth. He is right in that he says this is a player driven or Player vs Player Sandbox RPG. MO and MO2...

    If Mortal Online 2 Purports to Be a Serious Competitive Game:

    Well now we're just arguing semantics, as there is lots of back and forth on what is considered "skilled" and what is considered "cheese". I considered mounted combat to be a valid playstyle back in MO-1, while simultaneously considered magic to be "cheese". Lots of players in MO-1 considered...

    I keep hearing Henrik saying "penalities for murderers".

    A tale as old as MO-1. The only real penalties would make current player killers rage and bitch and moan, and cry about how without them there is no content and yaddayadda overly self-important narcissism. Real penalties include prison time, major statloss (not a cap at 15% which was a slap on...

    Sounds like ZEAL back in the day, except less interesting.

    Myrland could be a nice place,

    More on this note Jack, I think there is something to be said for the fact that the game mechanics just don't support trying to be a law-bringer in this world. In the real world you have prisons, and permadeath. In MO1 you had "stat loss" that capped out at 15% which isn't much of a deterrent...

    If Mortal Online 2 Purports to Be a Serious Competitive Game:

    I assuming you're talking about like, baking shows when referring to cakes? Usually there is an end goal or prize to work towards, and in the case of beer pong- it's usually bragging rights, but I digress the general assertion implies that Mortal Online was ever intended to be "competitive" in...

    If Mortal Online 2 Purports to Be a Serious Competitive Game:

    The idea that Mortal Online or MO2 should be "competitive" is a flawed premise in and of itself. When you say "competitive pvp" game, I think team based and objective based games like Chivalry, Mordhau, or Battlefield or something. You're actually competing to win a game based on an objective...
