A first-person MMORPG in which you get to see combat from a different and more exciting point of view

Mortal, being developed by Swedish studio StarVault, is focused on creating an experience that lives up to the legacy of Ultima Online: returning to that philosophy of freedom and player co. Mortal Online Now Living A Life. Jim Rossignol. 11 years ago. 24 Our more handsome and interesting readers will recall that we spent some time arsing about it the Mortal Online beta a while back, and ended up chatting about it at length. It was a fun time. If you like incredibly hardcore sandbox MMOs, which we seem to, for some reason.

Read the full changelog

Mortal Online is another title in the long list of MMORPGs that have emerged over the last few years. This one is rather young and somehow it looks like it was built in 2005. It uses Unreal Engine but it seems that that was a bit of an ambitious move because there are plenty of things that look bad.

Gameplay that detaches itself from the generic counterparts

In general, MMORPGs have a slow start because you have to do the same thing over and over again. Wonder from one NPC to another to take on quests in which you kill 10 of those and 20 of those to get another quest in which you kill a few more of other things. It’s all very tedious.

The same thing happens in Mortal Online but there are considerable differences. First off, it’s a first person RPG in which you strike with a sword, mace, axe, bow and so on, and it counts where you hit your opponent. Combat is what’s the game’s all about and after a while, you either fall in love with it or get tired doing the same thing over and over.

Character progression that makes sense

Mortal Online Map

Another key aspect of Mortal Online is the way your character grows. There are no class leveling system but one that’s closer to the RPG genre. Here, you get attribute points that are offered once as you do more of a certain thing. Fighting, running, crafting, it all adds up to your experience and as you play, your character seamlessly gets tougher.

Mortal Online also features a different atmosphere than most other games. Depending on your character choice, you’re either in a tranquil place or on a dark and eerie forest. The first-person perspective considerably adds to that and makes the entire gameplay more immersive.

It’s worth it if you have the patience

Mortal Online is a good game to play if you’re into MMOs. There’s depth to it, the graphics are decent but barely, and the gameplay has the right kind of pace if you’re an RPG fan.

Mortal Online is a First Person, Open World, PvP/PvE Sandbox MMORPG developed and published by the Swedishindependent video game company Star Vault. Mortal Online was released on June 9, 2010. The game is inspired by the desire to return to Ultima Online's player-controlled, sandbox-style game design; it uses Epic Games'Unreal Engine 3 and features a skill-based, real-time combat system.[1][2]

Mortal Online does not have a traditional level/class system, but rather a skill and attribute system similar to the Elder Scrolls series.[3][4][5][6] There are ten different races for the player to choose from, including an orc-human hybrid, five human races, two elf-like races, and two dwarf-like races.[7] In order to experience multiple possible playstyles, players can have up to four characters per account (increased from three in December 2012).[8]

Development[edit]

In October 2010, approximately four months after its official release, Mortal Online's game engine was rebuilt, making it possible for its developers to implement better graphics, increase performance and introduce advanced features which were previously not possible on the older engine.[9]

In June 2011, the game's first expansion titled 'Dawn' was released. It introduced graphical and performance improvements; new features like the need to eat, drink and sleep; health, stamina and mana 'reserves', a gene system for mounts, changes to the riding and related mechanics, a task system which allows players to create quests for others to do, a new housing system, character skills, world interactive objects, new pick-able resources including a wide selection of plants, an in-town mail system with cash-on-delivery to ease player trading and an updated game launcher.[10]

The deployment of Dawn suffered many technical issues, leading to extended server downtime and certain game features being disabled directly after the release.[11] Additions such as the gene system and cooking were initially poorly received by some players, especially when raw food was better than cooked food for in-game purposes. This, combined with early balancing issues, lead to extensive weight loss among player avatars which in turn caused attribute penalties.[12]

In September 2011, Star Vault formed a 'Focus Group' - essentially a test and early feedback group for upcoming releases and patches.[13] Members of the group are active players that have signed a non-disclosure agreement with Star Vault. The purpose of the Focus Group is to augment Star Vault's limited internal resource and act as an additional quality assurance level before new releases and patches reach the general playing audience.[14]

In late August 2012, the game's second expansion titled 'The Awakening' was released which promised notable new features like trade brokers, player-written books, revamped GUI, the unveiling of Tindrem, roaming guards of varying ranks, advanced AI for NPCs, illegal items, additional skills and a host of other improvements and fixes.[15] Star Vault advised the community ahead of time that the expansion deployment would suffer from problems,[16] and have released a number of patches post-launch.[17][18][19] The expansion introduced a multitude of bugs that affect the game's mechanics, performance and stability.[20]

In late November 2012, Star Vault began to offer a 'Free to Play' option. Restrictions to free-account players include a limitation of 60 (of 100) in all skills, restricted looting and trading of rare objects, and the inability to make use of thieving skills. In addition, new accounts must pay to unlock additional characters slots while legacy accounts retain all characters and character slots they made use of prior to the Free-to-Play change.[21][22]

In mid-May 2015 the game’s third expansion titled 'Sarducaa' was released and introduced the new continent of Sarducca which more than doubled the land mass, added a variety of new items and armors as well introducing a new 'heat system' that caused players stamina and health to be affected by the temperature on the new continent. Up to this point there had been no transitional loading screens between areas within the Myrland continent; however, with the introduction of Sarducca, players would now encounter a bridge ‘connecting’ the two continents together.[23][24]

Gameplay[edit]

Overview of skills and attributes in Mortal Online

Mortal Online has both PvP and PvE content, with the design focus on PvP.

PvE, Crafting, and Exploration[edit]

Other than robbing from, dueling with, and killing other players' avatars, players can craft weapons, shields, armor; build houses, keeps, and palisades; hunt and butcher animals for use in crafting and cooking; tame animals; mine, and ultimately refine rocks into precious metals; train their skills; or explore. Player-built structures can be attacked and destroyed by players, and certain wild animals that have been tamed can also be mounted, including horses and rhino-like creatures called Molva Beasts.

Flagging System[edit]

Regarding the PvP content, Mortal Online has an FFA (Free-For-All) PvP system with consequences for killing other players in the form of 'flags' which range from yellow (fledgling), to blue (innocent), to grey (criminal), to red (murderer). Being a criminal in Mortal Online (also known as being locally or globally 'allowed') means that other players can either attack you without being flagged themselves, or can call the NPC guards on you in certain towns. Doing certain offensive or aggressive actions in the game will also flag the offending player 'allowed', for example getting caught pick pocketing or simply pushing another player too many times within a short period of time.[25] When a player dies, all of the items in their inventory drop to the ground in a loot bag, which is lootable by all other players and disappears over a period of time. Starting with the Dawn expansion, the loot bag also includes the corpse and the head of the player.

Nudity, gore and brutality[edit]

Avatars that do not wear armor or clothes are completely naked. Naked players are a relatively common sight, either because they choose so or because they were killed and have not had a chance to restock. When the avatar is killed, the player loot bag includes a corpse and a named head. Corpses can be consumed, butchered or cooked. The heads can be collected as trophies or eaten. Occasionally, heads of well-known players are offered for sale on the game's official forums or the in-game trade brokers. Butchering a corpse yields materials including skin which can be used to craft clothes.

Player-made Content[edit]

Guilds can maintain their own keeps and palisades, and can contest control of certain cities. In addition to activity caused by player interaction, in-game events are triggered by developers and gamemasters, with examples such as a sudden, unexpected infestation of a town or area by giant spiders, zombies and undead creatures or wildlife such as springboks.[26][27][28][29]
