3. There is no specialization of skills, meaning at some point in time everyone is virtually the same character. This was the result of poor game design, and really cannot be fixed.
Mortal Online by no means is even close to perfect, but the game design itself is solid, meaning all they have to do is fix how they implement those concepts. You can build your character any way you want, but there's an emphasis on specialization, as if you do a jack of all trades character you won't be able to do everything well, just average.
Combat is currently a little too fast in Mortal Online, however this issue has already been raised with the devs and they know about it. There's alot of lag issues with the game right now, and tons of bugs. If you can put up with that, then yes, Mortal Online is great and far better than Darkfall. However, I would simply wait until a few months after the game is released before I buy it if I were you. I love PvP centric games so it's fine with me (long time Eve Online player), however it might not be up to par for you at the moment.
