I got 2 from a game called Mortal Online. When I got the game, I spent my time in the tutorial area learning how to play the game, doing basic combat, etc. When you start the game, new players are unable to be attacked by other players unless they get flagged as criminals(for instance by attacking another player) for 24 hours. Between the time I was playing and logging out, I used up those 24 hours. So when I finally went out on the open road I asked the nearest person I could for directions to town. The nearest person happened to be a mid level player wearing black armor and riding on horseback. He was just trotting along slowly on his horse so I approached him and asked him for directions. He said nothing, unsheathed his sword, and decapitated me, before trotting along on his merry way. Didn't even stop to loot my corpse. I played the game for a little while, got bored and quit. I came back a second time after a few years had gone by to see if the game had gotten better. It certainly had and even boasted a new city called Tindrem. I started my character there and immediately got cheesed. Starting in Tindrem put you in a garden full of deer which could prove to be very profitable with enough work. When fighting the deer, this guy called 'Anime' would jump in front of players and get hit by the swing of their sword. This would flag them as criminals and Anime would then call the AI guards patrolling the Gardens to murder the flagged player. He would then loot the corpse and take all their work. Anime was fairly high leveled character when he wasnt doing this so straight up murdering him 1 on 1 was suicide. So I got a bunch of the new guys together (about 4 of them) and trained them to fight. After a while, we ambushed him in a Graveyard and butchered him. We made off like Bandits with his decent gear and money. He was pissed. He demanded that his stuff be returned or he would bring down the wrath of his clan on us. We just killed him again. Finally, he came with a 'Red Flagged' buddy(to get red flagged you have to have killed 5 people in a fairly short time span) a guy strong enough to shrug off the ai guards in the city to get to the graveyard near the center. This dude was invincible our weapons dinged off his armor, he moved like lightning, each poke of his spear took half of our health (he killed our mage in one hit) and when we got him down maybe a 10th of his health(he had killed 3 of ours by this time) he just laughed and chugged a high level healing potion. We all died, but I still had his gear in the bank so it didnt really do him much good in the end. That red guy really turned me off the game. Overall I like the game, they've done some really cool things with combat and ai. The Higher Level combat just turns me off though. People move too fast.
