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 the small scale play styles are also taken into account more. With the upcoming weapon abilities, SV also offers a lot more possibilities, which is good for a sandbox game. I'm already looking forward to playing a Veela archer as a solo player with the new backjump ability. Please keep it up SV.
What I really hope for are the following 8 things:
What I really hope for are the following 8 things:
1. rouge archetype skills
Adding invisibility, sneaking and stealing would not only give solo players in general more tools to be able to protect themselves, but would also finally add the last classic fantasy archetype to the game that many are missing in Mortal. This playstyle is absolutely necessary as it could bring or keep a new group of players into Mortal.
2. more (dynamic) open world events/overworld world bosses
There are countless possibilities for events that could be added. In general, events that players can trigger themselves in the game world are particularly exciting. For example, I can imagine how a dark Altar on a mountain has to be fed with lost souls. These souls could be scattered all over the world. The players collect them, hand them in at the altar and this triggers a gigantic demon as big as a mountain.
3. naval content with warships and merchant ships and shipbuilding profession
It would be very cool if you could build different types of ships yourself with many different equipment that you can attach to specialize and improve your ship.
Ship types: Clipper, Fishing Boat, Merchant Ship, Galleons, Siege Ship
Equipment: Cannons, harpoons, various sails, rudder, battering ram, sea mines, fire oil, reinforced armor plates

4. more courage for creative integration of role-playing elements
I often notice that both SV and many in the community make suggestions that are very functional. I think Mortal is the most immersive MMORPG on the market. So I don't understand why the role-playing aspect isn't given more space.
I find it uninspired and uncreative from a role-playing perspective that you can simply buy all the weapon skills from a merchant in town. It would be much more exciting if you could have learn these skills from rare named NPC's in the open game world when you kill them.
Just as an example: I imagine myself riding my horse through the world. An NPC archer shoots at me with a particularly wide aggro range. I go up to him, fight him and see how he uses the backjump ability. As soon as I kill him, I unlock the exact ability he used in the fight. When the archer respawns, he uses a different special bow ability and the next player who kills him gets that other ability unlocked. And this applies to all weapons. In the best case, these rare named NPCs are hidden and must first be found by players.
Even when thinking about Fast Traval possibilities, I only read very functional suggestions, such as simply giving a Prister Gold with a cooldown. How boring is that? Yes. Fast travel options that anyone can use with a bit of gold and an artificial cooldown would undermine this immersion. If fast travel is added, it should be something very rare and integrated as a role-playing element.
For example, a mage boss NPC could drop a teleportation scroll in a dungeon. Or a player could open a portal with a dark summon that requires sacrificing 7 player lives and rare ingredients. Please be creative and make Mortal an engaging online roleplaying experience. Anything else just leads to pointless conveniences that you know from every other MMORPG.

5. NPC Citizen behavior
Was actually planned and also in one of the roadmaps, but it never came. Would definitely make the game world and cities seem more alive.
6. realtime fast travel
As I said, if fast travel with portals, then it should be something very rare and cool. But what I would find cool and anyone can use at any time, for example, NPC's that take you from City to City in real time in a carriage. That takes time, but that would be the best compromise. For everything else I can also play WoW.
7. Heven F2P
I think after the Reckoning expansion MO2 would be ready to make Heven F2P so new players can check out the game for free.8. DRAGONS!!!! DRAGONS!!!! DRAGONS!!!! DRAGONS!!!! DRAGONS!!!!
