Mortal Online 2

The MMORPG space is quite rich. So much so that it’s extremely hard for a new title to break into it and succeed. Games like World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV currently rule the roost while other titles try to either clone or put a spin on their offerings. Mortal Online 2 strays from this path by going for the deeply hardcore gamer crowd. With its true real-time combat, seamless world and open-ended approach, this brand-new title is looking to carve its own path as an MMORPG.

Here’s everything you need to know about Mortal Online 2:

Do as You Will

One of the points developer Star Vault are always quick to emphasize about Mortal Online 2 is its world. Where games like World of Warcraft tend to segment their zones into PvP and PvE spaces, Mortal Online 2 just foregoes the concept entirely.

You can go anywhere and do anything you want. The only thing that matters is what path you want to take and what you want your reputation to be like. As combat and all actions are purely skill-based, Mortal Online 2 gives you the right tools to accomplish whatever you desire. If you wish to be known as a master craftsman, you can focus on gathering the crafting. If you’d rather roam the world as a vagabond who adheres to nobody’s rules, then go ahead. The only limit is your imagination.

Robust Housing

One of the most staggering aspects of Mortal Online 2 is its rich player housing experience. A player can build their own house anywhere that is physically possible. If a nation controls a certain piece of land, you’ll need to purchase a deed. As is true in life, you’ll need to lock your doors before heading out or else other players will be able to enter at will. And it doesn’t just stop at houses. You’ll eventually be able to repair ruined keeps and use them to begin your journey towards establishing your own nation. If that, of course, is the path you wish to choose.

Deep Crafting

Another important aspect of Mortal Online 2 is its deep crafting system. Most MMORPGs try to keep crafting simple. In Mortal Online 2, the hardcore nature of the game means that even its crafting system can be tough to master. The game has thousands of materials you can use in over a billion different combinations. The more you craft the higher the quality of the products you can generate. On top of that, items need to be crafted to meet the user’s stats This means that were you to choose to become a trader, you could find yourself highly sought after if you’ve invested a lot of time into growing your skills.

The Bottom Line

Finding an MMORPG that’s simple to get into is pretty simple. Even if you don’t want to play World of Warcraft or Black Desert Online, you can toss a stone and find an MMORPG of the same variety. Mortal Online 2 takes the completely opposite approach. It focuses on being hardcore in all of its aspects. Being able to be whoever you want and do whatever you want is true gaming freedom at its finest.
