Mortal Online Forums - View Single Post - MO-Radio Interviews Henrik Nyström

Tresilian · 29th June 2009, 18:13

Late at Friday and Sunday night European time MO-Radio aired two interesting Scream112 talk show streams that went on for hours. Both shows had many community members as guests participating in the discussion via skype. Most anticipated guest was naturally Mortal Online CEO Henrik Nyström who was kind enough to join the discussion both days. Many questions were answered by Mr. Nyström or Henrik, which is his IRC nickname. Henrik answered very openly to most of the questions(there were many) he was asked by the community members listening to the shows and a great deal of new info came out. Some of the questions have already been surely answered on these forums, but also many new exciting details of Mortal Online were revealed during the weekend shows.

DISCLAIMER:

The following information transcripted from the MO-Radio show is unconfirmed talk of the game. Features of a game at developing and testing phase are subject to change at any given time. When creating a summary of a transcript/talk it is always ripping things out of context. The questions and answers presented below are mostly not the exact words said by the parties involved in the discussion, but the words of my own.

I've compiled some sort of a highlight Q&A summary of the talk shows below here. If you like to speculate and find out more about these Q&A please listen to the show recordings yourself. Listen to the recordings even if you don't want to speculate, it was truly enjoyable and interesting MO-Radio Scream112 talk shows!

Mortal For Life -auction winner Kelfatir was also interviewed during the second session 28th of July. You can find links to the recordings under the Q&A section of this post.

Q&A Grab Bag 1:

Q: Will you be able to buy more than one game with single unique credit card?
A: Yes, but there are some limitations in doing so(more detailed answer in the recordings).

Q: Will you be able to pickpocket in MO?
A: Pickpocketing and stealing are in, the system is pretty similar to Ultima Online system.

Q: How does healing and resting work?
A: You can use rest skill when you're out of combat to regenerate hit points faster than normal. In addition to resting skill there are healing spells and potions.

Q: Will there be magic implemented already in the beta preorderers get into?
A: There will be one magic school revealed to the players which is the basic combat magic school. Players will be able to explore the world to find out about magic and eventually reveal more magic schools by themselves.

Q: How dark is dark in MO?
A: Pitch black. You will really need to have a light source with you to go to a dark place.

Q: What's your stand on players who use macroing programs to train skills afk?
A: We're trying to make the skills work so that afk macroing skills has no significant advantage over training skills "the regular way".

Q: What happens when you die? How can I get back to the book of living?
A: When you die you turn into a ghost that moves in the ether world. You will either have to find a healer or a shrine to get back to the normal world alive. Also other players can resurrect you if they have the skill needed for resurrecting other players.

Q: Does money weight in MO?
A: Yes, you can only carry gold up to a certain limit by yourself. You can use for example caravans to move your goods.

Q: Will tamed pets need food, do I need to feed them?
A: Yes, you will need to feed your pets.

Q: Can I go and tame a dragon if I want to?
A: You can always go and try, but I can't guarantee you any results.

Q: Can you steal or loot a key to a house owned by another player and then take his house for yourself?
A: This is still under development and we are discussing what kind of level of security players should have in their houses. At the moment you can steal the a key to some others house, then go in and lock the doors in order to prevent others entering the house. The true owner of the house can go and have his locks changed if he can find someone to do it for him.
