The devs are now focused on devlivering you a clear vision of where they expect to go with the game by using the upcoming features page on their main website, a brilliant step forward for dev to customer communication that so many other games have lacked.
This patch has been named a miricle patch by several trolls here who seem to find it so impossible that the devs have infact updated the engine for better graphics and no desync, well only time will tell wait a week maximum and we should be able to see the results for ourselves.
New content, take a good look at the new creatures they're adding, how they are adjusting the creature population and adding new places to go to. The Devs are not stupid, they do realise the world is too empty at the moment and they're taking the correct steps to fix this but you must also remember guilds will need room to build their cities without mobs spawning inside it every 10 seconds.
Graphics are going to be improved in this impending patch although not set to 'high' as stated by a dev.
This is not a mircle just the effect of a team of developers working constantly for a month, wait for the patch and its fixes to come and then try out the game and see what you think. Trying out an unfinished product and disliking it doesn't mean you won't enjoy a more complete version, progress takes time.
For those here who claim 'hardcore' games are not for them you're backing out on adrenaline filled fights when you surpass the learning curve, auto-aim combat simply can not compare 
Enjoy your day and I hope to see you trying Mortal Online (again) soon.

That's great!... I think
This is just my opinion of course, but I think this would have gone over much better sans the pre-implementation fanfare, and just suprised everyone that logged on after the update... Just my 2 cents.
That is, if it does what it says it will
These guys have the worst communication of any company I have ever dealt with. I'm not even going to touch how they simply don't respond to a large chunk of emails sent to supprt.. or respond to the support requests on their forums. Instead I will simply point you to:

It's been almost 3 weeks since those folks promised a response... but we haven't seen one. Not even a simply acknowledgement of the hundred of followup messages asking for an update...
Or you can even more simply just refer to their FAQ:

The fact was SV was never planning to charge people, it's a clear system in MMO's where you select a payment plan, enter your card details and then they charge you. SV never made you choose a payment plan therefore had no intention of charging you. How people came to the conclusion that started those threads is beyond me but it's certain their IQ isn't very high.
If that is the case then why is this the last response from SV (19 days ago) as linked above?

As I mentioned on the forums and the IRC before - I am fully aware of both the situation and the reason why some people feel upset about this.
I brought this up with management and I expect to be able to give you an official statement/update about this next week.

No, what I'm backing out of is a game that has full looting at its core, that's just not for me.
True, I play EVE which has looting, but in its case while looting is possible, its not necessarily probable or frequent, so I can manage my losses.
So while I'm glad to see that MO is making progress, the genre needs more good games that offer this sort of experience, I'll have to pass on it I think.

Him knowing why some people are upset doesn't equate to them actually planning on charging you. People are/were upset becuase it says 're-new' however the payments are not handled by SV and are handled by some sort of vendor company who can't charge you until you enter your details and choose a payment option/plan. People are just ignorant in this case it seems.
Are you an SV employee? If not how can you come here and say what their intent was/is?
