    Answer the question; What is the number 1. reason the Mortal population is declining? A homework assignment for all Mortal enjoyers.

    Mortal has 1k players today during one its best timeslots that favors both EU/NA after one of its most highly anticipated and requested patches. I want the game to be relevant and I want the game to still be here in 5 years. Right now, as soon as the next risk vs reward MMO that drops and is...

    The map is dead because the requirements to play the game are too high. You not only need all the logistics, farming, but you also need a group to contest anything meaningful. That means if your shot caller is offline, or if too many people are offline in general the rest of the players in that...

    So it appears the patch hype has already worn off. 925 players at EU primetime. NA primetime 7 hours away. I will remind the community that a second character slot was one of the most requested updates. Despite this the results were lackluster. The community is clearly detached from the actual...

    Best argument so far. I think if they patched in fast travel they might get 200-300 more players concurrent on average. Free to play we know produced 1700 players peak (during ele) but during TC rollout the game was also free to play and it was around 1300 IIRC. It takes a commitment in many...

    Why is it important to grow Mortal 2 right now? Do we want growth? Do we need it? Both. You want it, you need it. Why? Because there are competitors surfacing every few months. Ravendawn, ROG and Fractured in just last 4 months. People want a piece of genre. AI dev tools are out and for...

    Trinkets is unironically one of the best updates they ever made. It introduced a minmaxing end-game content loop that wasn't dramatically overpowered but did provide character progression. Its probably the only reason this game has around 1k average daily instead of much less. I see alot of...

    I have several thousand of hours in the game, six figures of wealth and i left with a murder count over 1000. I played an elf. It's immediately neutral against another elf. The chances of an enemy team having an elf are almost 100%. You run, they chase, you can't turn on them at any point...

    I've already suggested this in previous posts. You can approach open world PVP in a number of ways to encourage solo play. 1. Combat mechanics and abilities that prioritize small aoes, that do not damage the player using them. 2. Disengage/intel - Think EVE or teleportation in OSRS, these are...

    I dont have the resources to conduct a proper case study among. That would be a job for someone like Jonah or Nazori MMOPVPVE variety streamers who have a community of over 1000 players that enjoy this very specific niche genre. However we can draw conclusions just from social media and...

    I dont believe that. I know Henrik reads the forums. He's made changes based on community feed back before as well. I just think he doesn't want to come to terms with the fact that solo players or players that primarily play solo and irregularly play with a group make up the largest demographic...

    I dont really understand what you suggested, but I know it won't increase the population. Im willing to be my account that my conclusion is correct, the game will not grow until a solo player is competitive in the day-to-day gameplay. Not a single person has responded with how many of their...

    A dragon that no one will be able to experience except for top guilds will probably not increase the population other then a short novel patch day boost that slowly fades. I said before these dungeon type patches are only good for a short temporary boost in population and their accessibility to...

    Feb 2022 was release. MO1 had a lax guard system and was unable to interest more then a handful of players globally. Your system has been trialed and errored already in multiple games before this one. It has failed every time. Contrary to that my suggestions/systems have been trialed and errored...

    Exactly right, you build from the bottom up in PVP MMO's because it creates a ecosystem. But thievery is not going to be enough. I've said in the past it has a place in mortal but we need to make solo players competitive in the primary objective of PVP MMO's and that is combat/conflict. I expect...

    The economy is bad because there are not enough players playing the game to support a non-volatile economy. You can't fix the economy without first adding more players to the game.

    Hello community, I see you are struggling to come to terms with a dwindling population and why it is dwindling. No one seems to be able to identify the largest factor, though there are multiple factors. I have seen prominent members in the community raise their own ideas but they are always...

    What do you miss the most about MO1

    Darkfall is super relevant to this discussion. During the decline of DFUW the veterans used to make threads just like this one. Reminiscing about DFO. The devs of DFUW starting chasing DFO in their new game, the population continued to decline. Then DFO itself re-released, and guess what...No...

    Should I Make A Post Explaining to fartbox, et al... why MO2 is not Succeeding?

    MO1 online for 9 years; Average daily concurrent users was 80 over that 9 year span. Darkfall and DFUW were superior to MO1 and MO2 in every way and they were still deemed financially unfeasible. They went offline. Which means MO2 is using money it doesn't have to stay online. Getting more...

    Unofficial Thievery Poll

    I can't argue this thread any more. The community in Mortal is resistant to change. No amount of logic or reason or evidence will ever be enough. The great thing is, there aren't that many of you and at the end of the day you have no authority to illicit change in the game. Only SV does. They...
