hey yo, hijacking this forum (if CaptRex allows me ; ).
As you know (or perhaps no), MO is on open beta phase. They have released a new patch. I copy to you this changes:
If you are curious to try this game, join the open beta. It's freeVersion 0.14.21.27 – Beta
2010-03-08
------ FEATURES ------
- Libraries added in Meduli, Kranesh, Fabernum and Morin Khur. Librarians sell all the skill books that are available in Nave. The “old” Book Vendors are still available in the above named cities because the library system is still a work in progress.
- The Húergar of the Oghmir clade (race family) is now available for play.
- Stables have now been introduced to Nave. Either stable your pet at the stables outside various cities or build a stable at your house and stable you pet there. When you stable a pet, you will get a receipt that you later use to retrieve your pet again. The receipt can also be traded/sold to other players.
- One Equerry (Stable Master) added in every city. They are usually found on the outskirts of the cities.
Please not the following: You can only retrieve the pet from the same stable you stabled it in. At a player house stable, only the house owner can stable pets, but anyone with a valid receipt can retrieve a pet. If the house is a guild house, any guild member can stable or retrieve pets from the stable. The person retrieving the pet from the stable MUST have the Taming skill. If the players skill is to low to handle that type of pet, the pet will be lost when attempting to retrieve it. Also, the charge for stabling a pet is ten (10) silver (Both at normal and player house stables. The charge on player house stables will be removed further on).

- Known issue until next patch: Forest/jungle ambiances at night will be turned off, only the generic night ambiance will be played in all areas).
- Moved Bakti storage outside for easier interaction.

Open the NowOptions.ini in Notepad, located at:
"StarVault\MortalOnline\mortalonline\UnrealEngine3 \NowGame\Config\NowOptions.ini"
Change the following line from False to True: bOtherTorchesLight=True
This option is disabled by default because due to the expense of performance on slower systems.
