    Immersive In-Game Lore, Story, and Quest Design for a Believable World

    In MMORPGs, I’m usually someone who completely ignores lore and story. I don’t think it’s that I’m not interested in them per se — rather, I believe that in many modern MMORPGs, lore and story are not conveyed in a believable or immersive way. Mortal also has significant weaknesses in this area...

    Why Mortal needs a faction system (before Heven goes F2P)

    I would love to be part of the Lawless faction. To unlock the rogue skills, I would even join a guild XD

    Why Mortal needs a faction system (before Heven goes F2P)

    That was actually my first idea, but I thought 3 factions would be easier to balance than 12.

    Why Mortal needs a faction system (before Heven goes F2P)

    I've already thought about faction outposts, but I think that would be too similar to the new guild outposts. The idea of faction ranks is very cool, though. You could make the cities very player-driven. A bit like the node system in Ashes of Creation. And the Mayor of the City can ride a Dragon...

    Why Mortal needs a faction system (before Heven goes F2P)

    1. What makes Mortal so special I love Mortal for what it stands for: hardcore, immersive, skill-based combat, full loot PvP, no microtransactions, and especially its community collectivity, which is largely created by guild conflicts and their systems. Collectivity works best and strongest...

    My Hope for MO2 after the Rackoning expansion

    I've been watching the development of MO2 since its release. I also played a bit, but at the time the game didn't seem finished enough for my style of play. But I'm still curious to see in which direction the game will develop in general. The focus on open world events is absolutely right and...

    Returning Player Feedback

    Yes, that's nonsense. Not only is it empirically nonsense, as sandbox MMORPG's like Albion and EvE can prove the opposite, but it is also nonsense from the perspective of classical economic theories. Because an economy has many, very different actors who invest, consume, produce and compete, the...

    Returning Player Feedback

    I played MO2 for a total of 20 hours during the F2P days (before i played ~ 200 h). Before I get to my feedback, I think it's important to explain what type of player I am in MO2 (in MMORPG's in general). I'm mainly a solo, duo or small scale player, who nevertheless spontaneously joins a larger...

    My Feedback after 185 hours of playing

    Feedback I love MO2. I realized that after ~ 30h (after Haven) when I got heart palpitations when I went into ruins or the forest at night. The game is so incredibly immersive. It's great. I really like the combat system and I've never played a game with such a long range view. Nave is just...

    Thievery Removed From Roadmap

    From a role-playing perspective, that actually sounds cool to me. Gameplay technical improvements wouldn't hurt^^ Were there already poisons and traps as skills in Thievery back then? If so, was it useful for archers or dagger players?

    Thievery Removed From Roadmap

    How exactly did thievery work in MO1? I'm new to MO and don't know it. I only know that thievery was supposed to come with poisons and traps. As a Dex-Dagger-Bow player, I thought it would fit in well, which is why I voted for it.

    Performance Still Terrible

    Is there any hope that a solution will be found soon or is it already being worked on? The loss of a good 50 fps is simply far too much. I can only manage a maximum of 55 fps now. 25-30 in cities. I can hardly take part in big wars like this. It will be unenjoyable. This video shows very well...

    krampus should be here "soon"!

    i dont get it. Wasn't Krampus the evil demon who punishes naughty children at Christmas? Why is he in Nave and giving us presents?
