Developers of MMORPG Mortal Online 2 Announce New Continent and Soft-Wipe System
During a recent stream, the head of Star Vault and the lead game designer of the hardcore MMORPG Mortal Online 2 showcased a trailer for a new continent, which will be located on a server in North America, and also discussed the so-called soft-wipe system.
The new continent will be called Sarducca - a desert land where survival requires its inhabitants to pay with water or blood. The game will also introduce corresponding weapons, armor, flora, and fauna. Extreme temperatures will require players to prepare carefully and use appropriate equipment. Simply put, knights in plate armor will be cooked alive in the hot desert sands.
Geographically, the server with the new continent will be located in North America, so ping could be an unpleasant surprise for players from the rest of the world. Sarducca will be connected to Myrland (the current and only continent) via a massive bridge. Crossing this bridge will transfer players in real-time from the European server to the American one and back, should they wish to leave the desert.
The bridge itself will not be available to players immediately upon the release of the new continent but will be built only a few months later. In this way, the developers plan to implement the soft-wipe system. Only new characters will be able to enter Sarducca, allowing all players to start on equal footing. To prevent veteran players from having to delete their characters, the developers will provide the option to create a third character on an account.
In the near future, we will learn more details about the new features awaiting players with the release of Sarducca, which is scheduled for 2026. Unfortunately, the introduction of ships is not expected in this expansion.
