    Forum Theme

    Could we have a choice of forum themes please? This default theme from 1987 is really hurting my eyes.

    Closing Pet Bags

    Change behaviour of Pet Bag UI window to match other windows, viz: Press hotkey once > open bag window Press hotkey again > close window Currently you can open the window with the hotkey, but then have to click the X on the window to close it

    Archery and Wind Effect

    I've read and been told that wind will affect archery, so I decided to test it. I waited until a time that there was significant wind noise, then shot arrows at trees. I fired in all different directions (to account for the possibility I was firing directly upwind or downwind) so that at least...

    Advanced Cooking

    Advanced Cooking says "Enables 7 additional ingredients when cooking. Slightly increases the quality of the cooking result.". As I trained it from 0 to 100 I could see the extra cooking slots, but the quality seemed to stay the same. Is that right, or did I miss something?

    Archery Mechanics

    I found this on a MO guide: Client-Side Hit Detection Because Mortal Online uses client-side hit detection, this means that if the shot on your screen would hit the target, then it does! This may seem obvious, but it has some important effects on gameplay. The most important one is that as...

    How does armor actually work?

    This seems like a newb question, but I'd like to get a definite answer because it has always confused me. I've asked several times what armor defence values mean, and I've always been told they are the number of points deducted from incoming damage. This cheap starter armor, for example, has...

    Bows and Shields

    I was always told that playing a lightly armoured character, eg. mage, you should carry a shield so you could turn your back on archers while healing and get a degree of protection. This is the result of letting a bandit bowman shoot me in the back while carrying a large round shield. Any comments?

    Raising Magic Schools

    As you can see from the image, with the Erudite clade gift I've potentially got 99 in Ecumenical, but it is limited by Magic Schools. So how do I raise Magic Schools? The book won't raise the skill higher, so how do I do it?

    Skills - Warning List

    Note: This thread has not been maintained later than October 2022. Some info may be out of date I often see in help chat things like "I've trained xyz but it doesn't seem to work" and have to reply along the lines of "aah... actually that isn't in game yet". It's a nightmare for new players...

    Help Chat

    I thought SV said Help Chat would switch off once you left Haven, to stop it being used as global. They were always keen that chat was only local (apart from the magic Discord of course). Did they change that and make Help Chat permanent?

    Pet Commands

    Suggestion: The default state of a pet should be "follow". When a pet is ordered to attack, and the target is killed, the pet state should revert to "follow" (rather than "stay" which is what happens currently).

    Strange Days Indeed

    Curious tales reach us of alternate universes that run parallel to ours. An island called Haven (or possibly a chain of islands, for travellers speak of many Havens) where mortals may practice their skills in peace before travelling to Myrland. And now even stranger, stories of alternative...

    Server Capacity is a Distraction

    Everybody is talking about server capacity. Players want to know what went wrong with the advertised server capacity. SV are working to increase server capacity. But in fact, server capacity is irrelevant. The concurrent player limit of MO is set not by the technical specifications of the...

    Clade Leveling

    Can we please have more ways of earning clade xp? Endless grinding of zombies not only rots your brain, it is totally out of keeping with the general immersion of MO. And how is it meant to work anyway? Anybody know the points for each level? I needed 640 to go from 4 to 5, but then only 560...

    Swift Riding

    I wanted to test Swift Riding in beta, but it's a slow skill and I didn't finish it before wipe. Does anybody know... What level you need to see an increase in speed? (I reached lvl70 and it made no difference) What % speed increase it gives when fully trained? Thanks
