When Mortal Online first announced its far-reaching expansion, Dawn, it was a little hard to believe. (The day the news first came out didn't help matters, certainly, as it was announced on April 1st.) But it's a very real thing, and players of the game have no doubt been hotly anticipating its release. Unfortunately, as it turns out, the release date of Dawn has now been pushed back to the end of the month at the earliest and the beginning of June at the latest.
So what's behind the delay? The newsletter explains that there was a server issue which required some reworking, with the caveat that the required updates have ensured Dawn will be even better. Mortal Online players can assuage the wait at least a bit by reading the extensive article by Black Opal detailing several of the expansion's features, including explanations of the new gathering system, Task system, and new styles for housing and buildings.

Makes me laugh. Anyone who's even slightly aware of this train-wrecks history, I mean seriously, come on. Again the old saying immediately comes to mind "fool me once"...

@Saker I really hate to agree, since in a way I feel petty and apathetic when I get enjoyment from another's suffering. But, this games been a gas with the multiple duping exploits, the rubber-banding and the over all handling of the IP by SV. It really is a hot steaming mess... I can't seem to not slow down and look as I pass by.

Yes its had its troubles. Ive been there from the beginning also.
Nonetheless, the game keeps getting better. And I would rather play MO than DF. Also would take MO over an Thempark anyday of the week.

there are games that are vaporware.
and then there are games that would have better been vaporware, instead of fully fledged scams.

I'll probably load up the trial when it releases.. or maybe a week later to let them iron the bugs out
I've never played it before because I get frustrated pretty quickly with major bugs

I was one of the idiots that bought the game when it came out, never again i tell ya!
However I will get a trail account and try it out again around a week or two after the ex-pack comes out.
However I still expect it to be a bug ridden mess.
PS, do the servers stay up for more than ten minutes at a time?

What do you expect from a coompany that picks Dawn as their expansion name.
The Dawn MMO went down in infamy for it's Vaporwareish history in the annals of MMO legacy.
