i wanted to see how many would think of mortal online if pushed back again.

I might, like the fact that Mortal have a 'Deva'. There are some fresh thinking going on there as well. Will they give me a free trial?
Q: Can I have more than one character on my account?
A: Yes. By creating an account you create your own Deva, or “shared soul”, in the game. Your Deva can have several characters connected to it. The Deva grows in power as each of your characters do and can even learn skills that all your characters will benefit from.
Of course, I like one-character-per-server better.
Mortal have the problem of an amateurish website. The text is not reviewed and is missing in all the wrong places. It feels like they have a weak 'concept' relating to their game-world.
If they'll release this summer I'll be suprised.

by the time mo is out or even in close beta, dfo will be out, have a solid player base, and be patched a bunch of times to fix any problems and have more content add'd
so i would rather play a game which is played tested and patched then a game which will still be in close beta, if that
too many kids these days read about games which are still in the idea stages and think they are gonna be out in weeks

Chose "other" because I will be playing BOTH, since you didn't have that option in there.
They both look good. Honestly, MO's graphics intrigue me more and it's more my style. DF is too cartoony for my taste, however I think MO has levels which I despise.
I find DF more interesting overall but that's partly due to lack of info on MO's part. However, if DF turns out is to be nothing more than a PvP game full of hot sweaty fat man nerds pew pewing all day then I'll probably be forced to wait for MO.
I've waited 10 years since UO for a game similar to it, I can probably wait longer if need be. If I wanted to play a pew pew PvP game, i would play gears of war on 360 or a free game like Guild Wars. I'm looking for a World Simulator type of experience like UO, not just a "pvp conquest game" or Shadowbane part 2.
If this game turns out to be Shadowbane part 2, it would be an epic waste of my time as this is the longest game I've ever waited for. I first heard about and have been waiting for this game since 2006. SB and Neocron were the other 2 and those were 1 year each tops. Ironically, Neocron was an FPS game that first released overseas and allowed Americans on their server and it flopped bad. The lag there was evil.

That's fairly easy: I'm playing other stuff now and I will keep doing so until DF surfaces. I'm keeping an eye on it for years (since some early stage of SB beta, if I remember correctly) but that doesn't mean I'm a slave :)
MO I can rule out for me. That's not because it might be a bad game. I just can't stand any asian style graphics at all, just a matter of taste thus.

not going to bother with your poll, but i will say that MO wont be out in summer, it will be pushed back and back and i think your be lucky if you see it next year, by which time they will release with many promised features missing or abandoned or plain broken.

There are some things I personally don't like about Mortal Online like:
- multiple character slots
- mounted archery and magic
- item insurance
- onehits (one of the devs mentioned it in a IRC channel)
And there are some things that are just ridiculous, like 10 hitboxes per player and no latency problems... But we'll see some time, DFO is quite plausible but MO is a utopia right now, sounds like Massively Multiplayer Online Unreal Tournament with skill based sandbox system.

Since the CEO of Star vault has said he was a big fan of UO you'd think he'd base his game on his experiences there. Of course the constant PR/delay failures of DF might have given them more hope of succeeding tho.

To put it simple: we have chosen to be independent as it gives us the opportunity to develop games without the boundaries of a large publisher.

Look at the nature of the thread and its title. Does it say are you going to play both games?? No it does not it says if Aventurine does not pull their collective head out of their ass will you move on.

well, obviously i didn't read the OP. i read the title, which looked to me like this was another thread asking whether DF or MO will be better. if DF was pushed back to summer, i would try both. i have all intentions of trying both, and regardless of which comes first (assuming i'm alive when they release), i will play both of them and decide which is better once i've actually played them.

Hahaha, Mortal online.
Running the Unreal 3 engine for an mmo and having a seamless game world, yea right. The game will run like absolute rubbish. They will take away all the features that makes darkfall so immersive, such as the 1 char per server and dropping all your loot and zoomable / toggable third person, it'll simply be a watered down Darkfall.
And it obviously won't be released until next year.
I voted Darkfall.

Why do you people think that Mortal Online dev's just started working on their sandbox mmo?
They have been working on Mortal Online for a number of years and just let the gaming community know about their sandbox mmo just a year or so ago.
The thing that the Mortal Online dev's did right was not string a forum community along for many years with let down after let down after let down.
I do like the idea of both games, Mo and DF. MO will be closer to what classic UO was than DF will.
I did not mean to cause anyone any real life distress from what I said. I know how very sensitive and fragile you all are, the DF forum community.

exactly. so why choose BK or McD's when you haven't actually seen any of their food, you've only peeked at their menus? the menu might look good, but when you bite into a whopper and someone's pubes are in it, i think you might decide to go to McD's from then on (or maybe you'll be a BK fan for life).

Well I'm here for the combat, and there's more evidence that MO will come out in the summer than DF coming out on february (they plan to test a client, which apparently can hold more than ANY other well-funded mmo client in history, in 1 month...)
When it doesn't come out in the summer, and we're all playing DF, remind me to laugh at you fool.

1. Seriously, this is the Darkfall forums. Stupid question is stupid.
2. This question has been asked many many times around these parts despite the fact that this is the Darkfall forums.
3. You seriously don't expect any delay from Mortal? Really? Even though they're supposedly only in alpha right now, which means the game isn't even feature complete?
4. rage.against: a client holds 1 user. A server holds more. And Darkfall's server(s) will hold nowhere near as many players as an EVE server. EVE has broken 45,000 simultaneous and exceeds 40,000 simultaneous pretty much every day. It also has a single star system, Jita, that breaks 1,000 users pretty much daily and holds at over 500 pretty much 23/7 (the other hour is downtime). Jita now has fairly little lag issues, and most large battles do not actually lag all that bad anymore (though sadly the nodes out in FW territory don't seem to be as good as the nodes out in 0.0).
Also, Aventurine has said that they've done virtualizations of 10,000 simultaneous users using bots that run the same way a client would. They're not all across the world, true, and so latency is far less, but they still login to the server through the login server, run around on the actual server, fight, etc. (Server strain is also related in no way to latency, unless a latency correction script is being used). They've said there hasn't been much trouble. I don't see any reason for you to speculate to the contrary, especially when Mortal's plan seems to be to simply not have a beta, since it's in alpha only 5-7 months before it plans to launch.

OK, so they have 2 more years than I speculated. By the same token, Darkfall started planning back in 2000, but the project really took off in late 2003. And yet people still cite a 7+ year development time against it...hmm...

It's funny to see how DF fans are screaming vaporware at MO and seem to have completely forgotten how furiously they not too long ago tried to prove that DF is not vapor.
Will MO make the Summer 09 release? Who knows. I think the real question is how good the game will be when it realeases. Be that in '09 or '10 or whenever.
Oh and someone mentioned that it's a bad idea to use the U3 engine for a MMO. Care to provide some information and proof to back that statement up? As far as I know the Unreal 3 engine is one of if not the best game engine to work with and is flexible and modifiable like nothing ever seen before. Why else would Epic be earning so much cash from selling the licence for it?

Also DF took long due to them making their own engine. MO saved much time using the unreal 3 engine, good choice imo.

Yeah, I haven't been following MO much, but I only hear good things, they seem to be a very level headed and communicative bunch who actually stick to the schedule. It'll be hilarious if MO comes out with all the same features, but looking a hell of a lot better, and torpedoes Darkfall. Hopefully they make the 2009 release, it's pretty slim pickings in MMOs this year, and most of them are space or sci-fi, like Jumpgate and Black Prophecy, Stargate and Earthrise, which is fine, but I always had a soft spot for fantasy.

Not as much as you think. The only turnoff for MO for me is no ship combat at release. They said probably at a later date, but not at release. Other than that, about the same in terms of features, except 1st person for combat, both melee and ranged, but that's only fair. Graphically head and shoulders better, Unreal 3 engine, though I'm not sure if it's seamless or zoned, I can live with both as long as zones aren't done stupidly, like in AoC, Assassin's Creed had better transitions.
One thing though, if BOTH of them flop, that would REALLY suck. I mean, epically. Without those two, we're years away from a game like that.

What do we know about their conquest system, nothing other than it's based upon their modular housing or some shit. And the fact that they haven't even decided on what IT is going to be in the end. As the most important feature to the game for me, if they haven't even finalized it, it's not a big priority feature. Also their little bit about "balanced around 1v1 small skirmishes as that carriers over to larger battles" is absurd. It's just not the case at all.
Haeso
01-19-2009, 05:28 PM
Couple quotes from their "information summary"
"Will the PvP system be based on small skirmishes or massive battles?
The PvP is based on one-to-one or skirmishing battles, as that is the foundation for good gameplay in larger-scale PvP battles. However, at the moment I can't tell you the number of players in that kind of battle."
"There will be siege warfare and destroyable “buildings” in MO, houses are modular. You can improve them. So a guild can upgrade its HQ into some kind of fortress, and why would you be able to upgrade your fortress if it’s not for war?
We have not released any detailed information about how cities and warfare will work yet because of the complexity of the system, and details are not yet worked out, but we do have a really interesting system when it comes to city control and warfare. It is a feature that takes lots of time to get it to work well, but I do believe it will be a very interesting system for most players. As the details are not yet finished we don’t want speak to much on the details as it may change.
There will also be some sort of player housing that works as a safe spot for some players. But they will get involved in one way or another into the city control system. More information will be released when we are sure of how it will work.
When it comes to factions it may work similar to UOs 4 factions, many pvp veterans liked that system that’s why we are looking into it and playing around with it. I also plaid lots of faction wars chaos/order and normal guild wars in UO, and I had the best time of my life in a MMO. We do like pvp and warfare and want it to be a great part of the game. And if we see a system/feature like faction wars that starts to interfere with city warfare in a bad way or just split up the players of the pvp part we will try to remake or just freeze the system which makes the pvp part less fun. This is not something you do over a night and must stick with it. This is a system that needs lots of playtime to get right, but hopefully it will be all worth it in the end. I hope this will give you some understanding of the status and our visions when it comes to warfare in Mortal Online."
"There is no territory control system/map like in shadowbane on release. There will be guild crests. They might not be customizable. Guilds can show (on their characters) how good they are in pvp. For example how many kills they have. There are no hard-coded pvp spots to capture like the mines in Shadowbane. There will be some kidn of faction system to give players reason to fight."
This all points to a can happen but not is the focus of the game.

so all that says is there is a conquest system that is different than shadowbane because the territories aren't hard-coded into the game, but rather they defined by the players themselves.

Being a fan with a healthy degree of grounding if reality is not a bad thing, blindly being a fanboi who spouts off that MO is going to be the "absolute bestest game EVAR!!!!" is a bad thing.

Sir there are thousands of people like that here on forumfall. Your logic is severely flawed. I've never seen a MO "super fan." In fact everyone I've seen who has posted positive things about MO had to dig deeper for info as the info on the front page is sometimes a bit misleading.
If your referring to the release date, yeah I think they'll make release even with their small period of Beta testing, but the scale of the project is not infinitely huge like say DFO's. Thats a big map, and its alot of work. Big maps won't be a problem for MO on release.

MO won't be out for a long time.
Is there any detailed information about Mortal Online except for the official site and the official forums? Darkfall seemed closer to being finished to me in 2004 than Mortal Online does to me now. :p
I'm not saying that to bash MO. I'm sure they intend to release summer 2009. I'm just wondering if there are any interviews where actual gameplay has been shown off, and stuff like that.
Anyway, my impression with the limited information available is that the MO developers haven't had as much focus on world design as Darkfall. Most of the terrain looks like backdrops while Darkfall looks solid, and explorable. Maybe I'm wrong, and the "if you can see it, you can go there" principle is present in MO as well. The "This is a world I want to explore" feeling is what makes me most anxious to try out Darkfall, and I'm just not getting that with Mortal Online.
Of course, if Mortal Online comes out first, I'll probably give it a go. I'll try Darkfall no matter what, though, and may not try mortal online if I'm hooked on Darkfall already.

Still, 6 months to go, so plenty of time to show off the game, and there's likely a lot less for them to test with a smaller world and a licensed engine.

yeah, it isn't exactly gameplay but it's the closest thing we've got. since they are in beta development right now, hopefully they will show us some actual footage. at this point, i don't care if they show us something that they have to change later, i'd just like to see what they have so far.. i wouldn't expect anything big this month (new info release will be this thurs or fri), but i'm hopeful to see at least something either feb or march.

Part of the hatred here is due to the first 1k people being 80% forumfallers, but they carebeared up their forums and thru suspensions and bans, most of us have left. Any pvp based game that starts suspending people excited about their game simply for referring to it as Mortalfall, is going to get beat to death here.

You can see the level of detail quite well when they show that monster on the monitor. Looks comparable to Age of Conan. It'll be about 5 years ahead of Darkfall, graphically. Darkfall is midway between Morrowind (2002) and Oblivion (2006). They also use the finished engine, rather than reinventing the wheel like Aventurine did, that cost them quite a bit of time.
I also keep hearing that MO is on schedule. That is, they said they'll be at this stage at such and such time, and so far they kept it, unlike some other companies I know. They're saying they're out of alpha and into beta, six months for beta sounds good. And summer 2009 technically includes September. So 8 months, not 6. Plenty of time. I actually think (assuming DF isn't vaporware, which I'm unsure of, again, ever since they asked people to preorder) it will be a very good comparison, two games, very similar features.
EDIT: And like the guy above says, MO has been in development for quite a while, 2002, as long as Darkfall. Except the project was pretty much on backburner until 2005, while Darkfall was promising beta in 2006.

there's always earthrise, which although its sci-fi rather than fantasy definitely looks like it could be a great game.
Eh...no. Earthrise looks like it's not going to make PvP consensual or avoidable, but it's also looking like the consequences for it won't be nearly as harsh as they will be in Darkfall and MO. I foresee PvP-lite in Earthrise.
MO has conquest too... in fact, it's probably better than DF's since you aren't restricted to building cities near guild stones.
So sprawl ftw, then? In that situation, the only practical way to avoid massive sprawl is to make it ridiculously easy to destroy buildings, and then any sort of sieging system becomes ridiculously trivial. The only alternative is to create a truly massive world with far more space than is needed for its users, giving them plenty of room to build, and I don't think that's especially practical right now, given the way that MMOs set up their servers (which to this day emulates the traditional "zoning" system in some way, even though formal zone lines have mostly been abolished).
Also, if I remember correctly, isn't MO's whole world slated to be about 64 km^2? Let's do some math here and compare that to Darkfall's world:
For simplicity's sake, let's assume both worlds are perfectly flat squares. Next let's assume that a person in game can run about 8 km/hr; that's a little under 5 mph. Now, let's assume that Darkfall's "8 hours" quote is from one corner to the opposite corner; alone the diagonal, in other words. This means the diagonal is 64 km (8 km/hr*8 hours), which makes the sides each 64/sqrt(2) km, which makes the whole world 128 km^2. That's twice the size of MO's world.
See what I did there?
Oh yeah, and the other thing that drove me away from MO: its community is plagued with carebearism. The same is true of Earthrise's community. People say "they'll cave blah blah" but when their actual pre-beta community is like that, they pretty much HAVE to cave to avoid simply failing altogether. That's what drove me away from the game in the first place. I had forgotten about that...

Only thing I liked from MO's teaser trailer thing, was how the guy was going down into the cave and it was dark as fuck and he NEEDED to use a torch to be able to see anything at all.
THAT's how it should be. Dungeons should be scary, and dark, and mindfucking... and then a huge monster steps infront of you (sort of happened in the trailer too) and eats your dick off.
I just hope the gameplay is like that too.

See what I did there?
I'm tempted to say it's not the size that counts, it's how you use it. Fallout 3 was smaller than Oblivion, but chock-full of stuff, while in Oblivion you would run to 5 mins and not run into anything even remotely fun. So I would take Fallout's world over Oblivion's any day.
And I always hear Darkfall is 8 hrs across, and I hear Darkfall is larger than any other MMO out there. I'll believe it when I see it. What if it's not? What if it's 8 hrs across because the character runs SLOOOOWLY? Or what if it's 8 hrs across because you cannot take a straight path? This was especially glaring in Age of Conan, where half the zones you could only traverse along a single path that went in a serpentine fashion, so even though you could SEE the other end, reaching it was a whole other ball game. What if it's completely barren, for the most part? It's easy to make a 1,000,000x1,000,000 game, as long as it' empty, or covered by copy-pasted pigs that roam in never ending circles. So many what-ifs.
So let's leave the discussion of the game world of DF and MO alone. We just don't know.

Fair enough. I'm just saying, the world is slated to be twice as big, assuming run speeds are the same.
I should also say that it seems that most DF fans that lean towards MO seem to think so because DF has already disappointed them whereas MO, with its lack of statements, can still be postulated to be the game of their dreams. Newsflash: it's probably not going to be the game of your dreams.

Well, unless I've misunderstood something completely, most of those years were one guy with an idea. According to their annual report for 2007, they had 10 employees total one year ago. That's not disputing the fact that it's been in development for a long time, but the amount of man-hours that have gone into coding for Mortal Online and Darkfall simply cannot be compared. Of course a lot of that time has gone into making the engine from scratch, and keeping it up to date with hardware changes.
The unreal engine is solid for sure, but we won't know how well suited it is for MMO development until people start playing Mortal Online. Darkfall beta testers seem to be impressed with the Darkfall engine so far.
