After hearing about Mortal Online I checked it out on Youtube and dug up some past articles on it, and I must say from what I've seen it has potential.

The only problems I have with it is that even though it's a looks great and it sounds interesting game, from my impression gained from what I know and the features talked about it really sounds like there could be a lack of things to do. Obviously there is the crafting, pvping and exploring but if that's it there's only so long it will hold everyones attention. It's not like Oblivion in the sense that even on those long treks you discovered things and events happened like bandit attacks.

Another problem is realism. I just watched a video on crafting and I thought it was horrific. You use you pickaxe (in this video it was an axe) and start hacking at the ground repeatedly, busting rocks until you get your resources. Honestly with the first person view it looked like a prisoner community service sim.
