Evaluation

Mortal Online launched on August 31, 2015 and received a series of major content updates in the years that followed. The most notable post-launch additions include the three-phase Elementalism magic school (January–March 2018) and the Haven starter island update on October 7, 2019. The December 2019 announcement of Mortal Online 2 is the clearest signal of where the developer's focus shifted — Star Vault launched a full successor game rather than continuing major development on the original. The last recorded developer communication for Mortal Online 1 was on December 12, 2019, more than six years before today's date of June 28, 2026. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no roadmap promises outstanding, no announced future content of any kind, and no post-launch update activity since that 2019 post. The game continues to operate as a subscription-based MMO, but Star Vault has clearly moved its development resources to Mortal Online 2. The original game appears to have reached the end of its content development cycle, with the Haven update in October 2019 being the last major addition before the studio pivoted to its sequel.

Evidence

Star Vault announced Mortal Online 2, launched its website and Steam store page, and offered a package bundling lifetime MO1 subscription with MO2 alpha access — signaling a clear shift in development focus from MO1 to its sequel.

About this game

Experience true open-world freedom in Mortal Online - a unique first-person, medieval fantasy, massively multiplayer online role-playing game.

Choose your path!

Choose from many different races, decide your own style of play and whether to focus on PvP or PvE, both sharing the same game world.
Choose a profession and devote your life to combat, crafting, magic, trading...
Discover countless skills, resources and tools, master a few or dabble in them all, or be the first to explore new areas to find hidden treasures and unique secrets.

Live or die!

This game is not for the faint of heart. With "full loot" mechanics, dying means that you risk losing everything you're carrying with you.
Danger is everywhere, safety must be earned. Learn to master real-time, aim-based combat where you decide every move your character makes, and where your skills really matter.

Not quite like any other MMORPG...

There are no character levels, only skill levels.
There are no PvP zones, only a single open and realistic world where you are free to choose your own path.
There are no separate server regions, every player inhabits the same huge world.

Strength in numbers!

Build your own house, or create a guild with your friends to build a keep.
Expand even more, build a whole city and surround it with defensive walls, or band together to siege and conquer your enemies' fortresses!
With enough power, violence or diplomacy, you and your allies will be able to rule an entire nation.

The possibilities are endless!

Unlimited free trial!

Mortal Online offers a free-to-play mode with a skill cap at skill level 60. In order to unlock the maximum skill levels and fully master your Mortal destiny, a paid monthly subscription is needed, but unlike many other games there are no microtransactions. Unsubscribing will re-apply the skill cap, but your skills will be maxed again when you re-subscribe. Every player gets one free character slot, and you can purchase additional slots up to a maximum of four.
