Mortal Online: Even If The “Leak” Is True…


Rumors suck, no question about it, especially when you’re in a system where verifiability is absolutely naught. IRC logs can be forged, pictures can be photoshopped, and ex-employees always have a bone to pick with their employers. For this reason, I decided a long time ago that I wouldn’t even humor unsubstantiated claims. If I … Continue reading “Mortal Online: Even If The “Leak” Is True…”

Mortal Online Compensation Coming


To expect an MMO to launch with no down time is ridiculously out of line. Despite the utilization of closed beta, open beta, and finally head start, the servers that run an MMO are usually ground down to the core in the opening month. Lag, random crashes, and more plague the game and launch issues … Continue reading “Mortal Online Compensation Coming”

Mortal Online: June 9th! We Swear!

Out of a rabid attempt at fighting back the de-synchronization issues that have plagued Mortal Online for months, Star Vault has pushed back the title month after month until they could finally defeat this beast that knows no enemy.
