Mortal Online is a first-person Sandbox MMORPG. This game is nothing like other MMORPG's, that are just basically World of Warcraft Clones. It's basically Eve Online meets UO. You could probably call this UO2. Definitely recommend trying it out. Latency is fine in Australia too!

The interesting thing about the game is you HAVE to specialise, because there is a skill cap and there are so many skills for one profession. I chose to be a butcher, which means I have to buy meat from other players and butcher them and then sell the materials butchered to other players. I could buy elephant carcasses from a player, then cut them up and sell the leather to an armor crafter, who could turn them into a sturdy leather armor, or sell the animal teeth and bones to a weapon crafter , who can turn them into sharp bone blades.

The game is so in-depth that person working with metal does not need to be a miner, but instead can refine metals, such as refining metals at a furnace to produce steel, or extracting metals from mined rock sold by players. Different metals and rocks mixed with different catalysts(water, salt, coal, bor) and with different tools (grinders, crushers, furnaces, etc.) produce different quantities of metal. You need to experiment to find the best combinations!

Fishing is also interesting, different parts of the world have different fish, and there are many variables that can affect what fish you catch, such as different bait, different time of the day, different how deep you place your fishing line, the type of hook you use, etc. Fishing is also an interesting mini-game, and is not just click on the water.

Some classes that you can create :
Cook
Butcher
Herbalist/Alchemist
Hunter
Explorer
Warrior
Murderer
Miner
Woodcutter
Weapon Crafter
Armor Crafter
Fisher
Animal Tamer
Thief
House Architect
etc..

Mortal Online is a next generation PC MMORPG both in terms of graphics and gameplay. An open realistic world where you are free to choose your own path. Experience true real-time combat where you decide every move your character makes and where your personal skill really matters.

Build your own house, or set up a guild to build a keep. With enough power, violence or diplomacy, you and your allies will be able to rule an entire nation.

Choose from many different races and professions. You decide your own style of playing and whether to focus on PvP or PvE, both sharing the same game world. Devote your life to crafting, combat, magic or trading. Discover new skills, tools and resources. Or be the first to explore new areas to put your name on the map.
