    Mortal Online Newsletter November 27th 2009

    NDA
    The last months have been a real rollercoaster ride here at Star Vault, albeit a very positive one. Most of the core features planned for release have been introduced and tested in a controlled manner, and we've been extremely eager to see the reception each time. We are now at a point where we feel that, although there is still a lot of work to do, it's time to increase our efforts of marketing the game, and part of this process is the lifting of the NDA.

    MMC – Mortal Online Machinima Contest
    With the fall of the NDA we started a new contest on our forums. Jump into the game, get your mates, make a video and upload it to youtube. Show how you build your house, create an awsome piece of armor, re-enact Braveheart, or explore the wonders of Nave - it doesn't matter. As long as it's cool and will impress our judges.
    The contest will run from November 23rd until noon December 14th (GMT+1). Winners will be awarded with MMC-Avatars for the forum. The best three videos will be hosted on mortalonline.com. The N°1 video will also be awarded with:
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX295
    Custom User Title on the forums
    3 Beta Keys

    Beta Forums open for public
    We decided to open up the beta forums to the public. If you are a registered member of the Mortal Online Forums you can now read all sections of the beta forums. Please note that only beta testers can post on the forum at this point. We feel that opening up the beta section is a very nice way of letting the public in on what went on behind closed curtains for the last few months, and as you know, honesty about our product is something very important to us.

    Developer Blog
    A few days ago Henrik Nyström (CEO) made his first post in the new developer blog on mortalonline.com. The blog enables us to share a bit more of the excitement and everyday life of a "dev". Stay tuned for regular updates and interesting tid-bits about the developer team, MO and the office life.

    Any game that charges like 90 dollars to get into the beta has bad written all over it.

    I will probably buy it and give it a shot, not sure who else would play though. Nothing coming out anytime soon so if this looks good I may be here for a while.

    rofl, but you wont be able to play...gg.

    If people are interested I may be able to rally some more nubs to play the game, but I will have to do a bit of research to see if its worth promoting or not as I have had mixed successes with promoting games (eg. Darkfall and Aion). =P

    After tomorrow I have like a week before finals so I will have more free time to review the site.

    I also played for a bit about an hour or 2 someone tried to PK at the starter Human town but ran off when I yelled for guards. I'm not too sure if I'm gonna play now that STO is coming out. Kinda upset considering I just paid 80 bucks for the game LOL. It however does still need a lot of work.
