Today launched online store, where all interested can pre-arrange for MMORPG Mortal Online. At the same time, the developers shared some very interesting details about the game.

The shop will accept American Express, JCB, Mastercard, Visa, Visa Electron, Direct Debits (in Germanym Netherlands, Spain and Austria), EPS Austria (Austria), Giropay, ING Homepay (Belgium) Paypal, Ukash, Wallie, iDeal (Netherlands), Paysafecard, Sofortuberweisung (Germany, Austria, Switzerland.

Only one (1) purchase is allowed per account. You are free to register several accounts. Please remember though, that if a credit card is used more than 5 times in the same week for the same payment, the banks Fraud scanning will ban the card for 2 weeks. The details of this vary between cards and should be checked with the bank issuing the card. It has nothing to do with the MO shop.

Important! When you enter the shop, you will see the prices and have the option to choose one of the versions. When clicking “checkout”, that version will be temporarily “reserved” for you for a couple of hours. As you may only buy one version per account, this means that you cannot go back and choose another version during those hours. This is a technical safety-line; if something goes wrong during your purchase you still have some time to get everything right, but it also means it’s important that you choose the right version from start.

Please remember that you are not buying anything until you fill in your payment options. If you choose one version and then change your mind before paying, you don’t have to buy it. It simply means you cannot change to another version during this time.

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.

The monthly subscription cost includes all future updates and expansions for Mortal Online. No additional costs will be charged for future expansions.

The Beta server is located in Stockholm, Sweden. It’s fully possible to access the server from all countries; however we obviously can’t guarantee the speed and performance over long distances. Earlier Beta-testing has shown good, playable ping from the U.S. for instance, but please remember that the speed of your local network provider in U.S. is an important factor as well.

Additional game servers, including servers in other countries, are considered for the near future. There will be no extra costs involved in starting a character on one of those servers if and when they are up. However, character transfers will not be possible, at least not to begin with, not even between servers in the same country. This has to do with each server and character lore being unique - i.e. your character obviously cannot have slain a certain Dragon if the Dragon never existed on the other server.

The Beta is divided into Blocks of 2.000 players each, depending on buying-order. Every second week 2.000 additional players will be able to enter the Beta. The full schedule is as follows:

July 20 Block A (including 999 Limited Editions)
August 3 Block B
August 17 Block C
August 31 Block D
September 14 Block E

The Digital Download only version will go on sale a week later than the Boxed Version and The Full Loot Bag as previously stated in the shop. This is because we hope to sell the physical products first, as they are a big cost to us if they sit on our shelves.

Shipping is not included in the price for the physical products. Shipping will be an additional €7 (flat rate for all countries).

The physical products will be shipped from Sweden around September. Further updates before the launch of the full game will be shipped free of charge in connection to the launch. When buying a physical version you are also allowed to download the game, and play it in your corresponding Beta block.

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.

At this point Mortal Online is M rated 18+, a final rating will come closer to release but is very likely to be the same.
