OK, anyone who hasn't heard of this online game, it's time to crawl out of your cave and listen up. Because for a FREE online game, it's the best I've yet seen.
er-no talked me into downloading it, and I've got to say that despite my initial qualms about a 227MB download, it was well worth it.
Legend of Mir is basically an RPG, set in a medieval landscape, where you travel from town to town hacking up monsters and other players on route, trying to get them before they get you, levelling up as you go.
The fun part is the other players. I was playing on a 56k modem, and it was a little laggy at times, but it didn't stop me becoming a 'Player Killer' (PK) within a matter of minutes when I found a sword and used it on an unsuspecting noobie. He'll be ok, he just lost a few items and started again from the last town he was in.
But it WAS kinda fun. Maybe I'm getting bloodthirsty in my old age, but now I'm having more and more battles with other online players and hardly touching the monsters. On the plus side it's a quick way to level up. On the downside it doesn't exactly get you a lot of friends.
You can even join a group of however many players you wish (SR Forums Guild, anyone?). That way when you kill monsters together, it doesn't matter which one of you deals the finishing blow, you all share the experience points. The great thing about groups is that you can go to war bigtime, not just against other players but against other groups and guilds too, all in realtime isometric view 3D.
Fun stuff.

You are all Sheep and I am the sheperd!
I was one of the first people to download this game in the UK... and now look at you!
Why did they have to take my account? Why does my PC have to be completely crap!
I will be on MIR in the next two days because I am weak!
You made a good choice FM!

FM, I'll try and download it as well.
I'd be up for setting up an SR guild or some such thing.
I'll have to try it out myself first though...

Just for that, I'm starting a campaign to have your Notable status removed.

It took me 36 hours :-(. But that's because AOL cut me off at 97% the first time.
I'm getting cable tomorrow, should be back online after an hour's break around 6pm.
Wow, just think, 'Broadband FM'.

Is your name yellow or red?
VERY red at the moment, but should be back to white by the morning (you just stand in a safe place and leave your PC running at night, then come out with a clean slate the next day).
