    The great transition from pvp-asshole-arena to community sandbox mmo

    A lot of people have expressed legitimate scepticism about the current roadmap being decided by the players when it was a completely open-door and free-for-all voting system where all you needed was a Gmail account(s). But it is what it is for now until SV implements something better where only...

    The great transition from pvp-asshole-arena to community sandbox mmo

    The way EVE Online does bounty hunting (or at least one of the ways) is that they have kill rights that can be put up for sale like any commodity. The person who wants the kill right pays the amount entered by the seller. This means that the person taking the 'bounty' contract is more likely to...

    Make the game's PVE more fun.

    I have to agree that Veela Sight is overpowered, almost like cheat mode. I've seen videos where a Veela can see who is in their own homes so they can troll or wait for them to come out and gank them. I was horrified that they can even see who is hiding where in a dungeon, allowing his or her...

    Make the game's PVE more fun.

    Ideas that SV had either previously implemented or could potentially implement because another dev team managed to do it: Random invasion spawns: Virtual ecology: Real-time dynamic NPC conversations: Reactionary NPC behaviour and dialogue: If SV could implement even just one of the...

    Thievery Is Indeed A Big Role For The Game...

    I think the open-door and free-for-all voting system created a lot of distrust in many people, which is probably the single main reason that caused the entire controversy. For all future polls, I think they should do it like how EVE Online does, where survey emails with unique identifiers are...

    Thievery Is Indeed A Big Role For The Game...

    Henrik in 2021: Thievery is coming shortly after release. Henrik in 2024: We're pumping out more armours, mounts and dungeons! Oh, and the community apparently voted for this but not thievery... 🤡

    What do you miss the most about MO1

    It would be interesting to see what platform and criteria they use for their next poll. If they continue to use the same Google Docs, it may just confirm to people that SV does not care that the feature poll (and results) were a slap in the face to those who had supported SV all these years, and...

    Rogue theorycrafting

    A few rogue/assassin skills I could think of: Sneaking (Primary): Lowers the character to a crouch stance which reduces movement noise and restricts movement to walking speed. Only usable when wearing up to 6kg of soft armours on all body parts with no shields equipped. Prevents sprinting or...

    MO1 is dead - version check doesn't work because of expired domain

    Good to see the game is still chugging along despite being on life support. The MO1 forums, however, is a different story.

    What do you miss the most about MO1

    I recently started seeing more familiar names of players in MO2 that I did brief adventures with 8 or 9 years ago back in MO1. Not sure if they just joined or they've always been around but we never crossed paths because the world is so much bigger now.

    What's the trick to leveling up pets now? Attacking Guards at Fabernum No longer work to level up.

    I just have them out with me wherever I go, somehow they level up as I play.

    What do you miss the most about MO1

    I remember seeing a video during the first few days of MO1 launch in 2010, a YouTuber (not me) recorded footage showing a dead player character with what looked to be a 6-foot long log buried deep in their face outside of Meduli. Obviously it was a rare bug, because the log disappeared a brief...

    Give Free Month When Games Done

    A seven-day free game time promo like what EVE Online occasionally does would be a good idea. That way if people like what they see then they can sub, if not then SV won't lose an entire month's worth of revenue.

    Great blades STILL not trained, my god why??

    That looks like it it nearing completion. The timer on the book is probably bugged. Whatever attribute bonuses you have on the skill, plus the 70 that it trains to, it will give you an idea of how long there is before it finishes reading.
