One Shots: Famous last words

This sounds so amazing, like the old school Ultima Online. UO was my first MMO, and no matter how many others I try I always find myself looking for that flagging system. I'm really glad I found this post. Downloading the game now!

Oh I whole heartedly agree with you, MO is just not worth the usual box sales plus monthly fee, no where near it.

But it's not only that, MO has deep flaws across the board.


For example, solo content/play is near impossible/non-existent, as you don't have enough skill points to be self sufficient, and decent at combat. If you want to craft, you have to make a character solely for it, that's one for armor and another for weapons.......
But here's the catch, you can transfer items between characters on the same account, so you need another person or a second account just to get armor and weapons.
Oh, and it's tediously boring grind as well.

So you have to play with others.... not so bad right? Wrong.
There are no social tools in this game..... none.
No party system, no private chat, no guilds, no buddy list, nothing.
If you lose track of your friend, it's extremely difficult to find them again.
Esp with the broken/pitch-black night system.

So unless you go out of your way with vent or something like me and my friend did, your boned.


The only reason I put up with it is A: I'm playing with a friend regularly, and B: I don't have to pay for this crap. As soon as one of these to things changes, I'll drop it in a heartbeat.

I've never played such a painful game in all my life, and I've played a lot of difficult games before.


I want it to work, because it sounds great on paper, but in reality, I just don't see how Starvault can dig their way out of the grave they've dug themselves.

When I first started runescape almost 5 years ago, I completed the tutorial which pretty much shows you only how to control your character. Then I started wandering around, found a friend who was about the same age as me (I was 11 back then), we got attacked by npc thieves who we thought were players, found a mine, went back to buy a pickaxe, then couldn't discover the mine again..

These are maybe the best days (and my first days) in an mmo. Let's see if this game will bring me the same experience - I will love it if it does, and seeing that it is so similiar to UO and other mmos I love, I really hope it does.

In this matter DFO does it well, there is few quests at the beginning to learn you the basics.

Well i grant some truth in what He said. After all there's a tutorial both in EVE and UO.

It's very different to ask for quests throughout ALL the game. It would turn it into the usual childish themepark where you're babysitted map to map.

Then again the tutorial is probably the last thing you add in before launching the game, it's the cherry on top of a finished cake, it doesn't make ANY SENSE whatsoever to ask it inside a BETA!

So really in their asking for tutorial is hidden laziness and addiction to themepark babysitting. Infact, there's a whole forum loaded with guides AND let's not forget Mortalwikipedia, full of informations.

So I BELIEVE it's a matter of not willing to learn. And since MO is supposed to be a ULTIMA game, that's a completely unjustified critic. MO's biggest fault is that it doesn't have much content, at this point of development it should have more things to do, and because Starvault are running out of money, they are forced to let the game out and ask people to pay for it. That's the truth.
