Surely the team at Starvault is aware that their efforts have been focused in the wrong areas. They've thrown everything but the kitchen sink at the game and the market is still unenthusiastic about the game despite tons of content updates, engine updates and even the much anticipated second...

While these issues are annoying they are in my opinion trivial. No game is perfect and they will each have their annoyances. People will be more willing to look the other way on trivial annoyances if they are having fun. The less people there are in Mortal, the less people there are having fun...

I suggested removing housing in favor of NPC banking and crafting options before and relegating all territorial conflicts to the castle system, but I think it's going to be too much dev time and it wont affect the population more then focusing in other areas. A focused strategy on what will...

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...
