Title: Eve with swords?? (Mortal Online)

Found this game in todays paper.
Seems to be a fantasy version of eve in many aspects. So could be interesting when fully released if one can live with the idiotic name.

postponed I guess, on another page I found:

The launch of Mortal Online is planned for Q4 2009 (Oct-Dec). This is not set in stone however, as we want all core features to be in place and properly tested before charging monthly subscriptions. We do not guarantee a specific release date for Mortal Online.

The monthly subscription cost of Mortal Online will be €14.25 for Europeans and $14.25 for everybody else. This cost is subject to change.

so screw them, I'm not going to pay 35% more than 'the rest of the world' and I don't care how cool it may become

That annoyed me as well Warc, just as I began to get interested in the game.
Also, a price of between 50 (regular digital download) en 90 euro (boxed collector's edition) is just a BIT over the top.

50 euro seems steep for a standard release - we dont pay £50 here in the Uk for release games and Euro:£ is at near parity...

Yes seems rather expensive, the main draw would be the fantasy sandbox even if it isn't as free in some aspects as eve.
So limited amounts of players mean higher fees probably.
