Guild Tags and Tabards Maerlyn
Hm. I like that idea carp3. Maybe attach it to a skill though. Think infiltration.
When will whisper be fixed? Sebastian Persson
Whisper as it's working now, is not intended it's a bug that came up with the new GM-system and will be fixed. Will try to get it sorted in the morning.

Content preview of the next 3 patches. Maerlyn
To expand a little on the "crafting recipes":
Think blueprints. You can basically "save" a certain recipe on how to craft an item and give/sell it.

The Mortal Chronicles Maerlyn
Once a player-book system is in place this should find it's way there pretty fast.
The Mortal Chronicles Maerlyn
It seems the alias didn't update as it should. It's fixed now and you can reach the section under it's proper link http://www.mortalonline.com/the-mortal-chronicles.
When are we gonna see a free trial? Maerlyn
Mortal Online currently does not offer a trial.
We are following industry standards and you can expect a trial offer in the future (usually 6-12 months post-release).
Mortal Online Box Art Maerlyn
The Fansite Kit (http://www.mortalonline.com/fansitekit) contains a .psd from the box as well as other files you might find useful.

This is indeed planned for the future, but the current approach is to wait for the engine-patch from Epic that will make it possible for ai to, guess what, USE PATHFINDING.
Then see how that works...

Just report them as "Harrasment". And take a screenshot.

Does anyone run with shadows, even those with capable machines? Sebastian Persson
Think it's the ram that really makes the difference here.
The way we build our armours is dynamic rather than being static like in WoW etc. This puts a rather heavy load on the ram.
We are looking...
Inception (movie) Sebastian Persson
Movie of the year, every go watch it. Almost as good as the first time I watched the very first matrix movie.

It's work in progress, but it should find OTHER broken items too, guessing the 1 file it does find is most likely something that get changed when you start the game.

So if you HAVE issues you think...
Mark Items Acquired From Murder as Stolen Too! Sebastian Persson
Well that would make sense from a logic standpoint as well as from a gameplay point of view. Will discuss these ideas with the folks on Monday, it was actually something I was thinking about myself...
Thievery Sebastian Persson
We will discuss these ideas on Monday, thank you so much for the info, this is exactlly what we are looking for.

Some ideas are good, some are.. maybe not as good and some are pretty much impossible...
What is the heaviest thing you stole? Maerlyn
It shouldn't be. As we said before. Yes, it's harder, yes we're approaching balance from the "hard" end right now. Community feedback (constructive) is vital to get this right.
Thievery Maerlyn
Thank you for your feedback Nehemia. I copied Thareic's post (http://www.mortalonline.com/forums/50544-world-risk-vs-reward-thievery.html) form the Discussion Forum here since they are closely...

That sounds overly complicated. Suggestion:

The server was taken down about 10min ago. A hot fix is being constructed and applied as you read this.
Downtime should be: not long. (quote Sebastian)
Jungle camp needs vendor Mats Persson
I agree. However, if we put one of our current vendors there he would also buy anything from you just like any other vendor in the game. If you think about what that means, I hope you agree that not...

Server up time won't impact these spawners at all.

A few minutes ago the database had to be updated.
It is possible that customers who used the old account linker during beta have lost their customer status on the forums.

When upgrading a house, will HP also upgrade? Mats Persson
I replied with what my design says, as that's how it's supposed to work. Thank you for letting me know that it's bugged.
Magic is not Alchemy and vice versa Mats Persson
Currently, you have Ecumenical Spells, which are like ..common spells, and those need Reagents, yes. In part because they need to be balanced, but they are also closely tied to the lore. Please read...

Why? There will be more rare creatures to be found.

Well, in a way yes. Normally we wouldn't let you know about these things, but in this case we do want you to be aware of it because:

Has anyone tamed a rare mongrel horse yet? Mats Persson
It has a different coloring, however although it's a rare Mongrel Horse, it's still a Mongrel Horse, so the name will be the same. Until you tame and rename it, that is ;)
When upgrading a house, will HP also upgrade? Mats Persson
Yes.

Confirmed.
If I have 90 Intel and 80 strenght how much will mindblast hit me for? Mats Persson
I don't know if you are supposed to be able to cast Mindblast on yourself. Otherwise, no damage at all sounds bugged.

On a side note, when trying out magic damage please remember that as a mage you...
Has anyone tamed a rare mongrel horse yet? Mats Persson
It's only a matter of chance, probability and statistics. And to many people probability is fishy ;)

The fact that it's theoretically possible that an animal won't spawn only means that although it...
Has anyone tamed a rare mongrel horse yet? Sebastian Persson
It's a chance-spawner, meaning it could spawn never or 5 times in 5min.
Let's hope it spawns ^^

Hehe, server knows who it was, it will show up WITHOUT a [S] for that person.
The Thievery-system has been revamped and is now activated again. Maerlyn
No. Most of the calcualtions that go into the system have been reworked.
The system itself was "good" during beta. But the balancing was terribly off.
This should work a lot better now.
