Waaaay back, when privacy was possible (before 9/11).....

I was one bored assed ****er with a ****load of time to kill, and a comprehensive Sky package. Flicked over to game network, quite liked the music they had to the game trailers, had it piped through the house. Left it on too long one day, got the Mir show, decided to join up.

Got in, was like "OMG HOW MANY PEOPLE?". I hadn't played a MMO before, but I knew what one was. Took part in loads of noob raids, joined a PK guild, kicked some ass, made some good friends.

Slowly got my IRL friends hooked on mir, but we've all moved on now. Mir used to have such promise, but it's been *******ised.

Dad was the senior marketing developer for what was the GN holding company, which then soon merged into GN and all of the sub-divisions that exist today.

Explained about WEMADE and Mir about 3 months before the licensing contract was signed... there were a lot of conflicts, had to wait for alpha and testing, played though beta and into p2p (w/o having to pay). Few months after my dad left his position, I had no card and my dad refused to pay for the game, so I stopped playing and went into Soma, then got SP and played both.

i heard for the 2st time this game form a mate of mine while we were walking to school. This was in 2000.
He told me about an online game were u meet ppl, u can get killed and then resurected back to town, u fight with swords..and u need to pay for it.
I did not understood then what it was.
1 month l8r i was playing Age of Empires in a cyber caffe, i got bored and tryed mir (was on the pc)....i leveled till level 7, then trial ended. After a nother 2 weeks i payed for him and from then i got hooked.
I played dserver 6 months day and nights and it ruined my life, i escaped by creating a private server....now i am free of mir but still hooked in private mir hosting Izar. From the begining of Izar (1st ktest server then extreme then mir2-net) i ****ed up the life of many ppl with this game...
God forgive me...

Bdw i saw ppl craying at my door for items...is disturbing..

For me it all started in school, i was talking to a m8 of mine about dragonballz for some reason and thats pretty much when we became mates.. b4 that we had nothing in common and didnt really talk lol. Anyway oneday he showed me some screenys of mir and told me 2 join it. which was difficult as i didnt have a computer at the time. But as i so wanted to play mir i actualy saved up and bought a pc *yes just to play mir* It took me a whole day to donwload the mir client the first time as i was on 56k and when i finaly downloaded it i remember opening the game for the first time, i remember thinking how amazing the login screen was for some reason. Back then when i was in game everything looked so great. I remember running from a forest yeti at level 3 and calling for help lol *I asked how to save as well lol ahh good times*. Anyway after a while and two level 30 chars a lvl 40+ friend of mine was telling me about RageZone Server and he really wanted 2 get me into it so i made my first trip to the ragezone forums. and from there .. well it goes unsaid.. but mir ruined my life and if i could go back in time i would kill my m8 b4 he told me about it lol

I was browsing the net on my dad's laptop (P3 733, 256MB of ram, 20GB hdd, and 8mb ati video card :ppunk: ) and found an mmorpg named legend of mir on fileplanet. Downloaded it and the rest is history.

it was a very cold day in the winter of 2001, when i saw my brother play mir on my dad's laptop, so i gave it a try. didnt know the hell wat a MMORPG was, like mental, and i asked people "how do i save?". lol. then me and my bro shared an acct and i made 1 mil gold by the time i was lvl 3 (found a recovery ring on the floor =D) then i logged on one day and found it....gone....he bought a lvl 23 tao for 500k....then my bro found lomcn. and i did too. the first srvr we played was project 69 =)

I told you I bought it for 1 million and secrectly spent 300k on a 24 wizard.

Ending up losing both characters somehow, got a wizard to 18, left, came back with a warrior to 28, came back again to get to 37, then quit real mir for private servers.

That reminds me :P One of the MIR updates (I presume 1.2 - 1.3, or was it 1.3 to 1.4? Anyway) I had my step father download the update and burn it to disk for me. Back then I still was on a 33.6 modem, it would have taken ages.

Dad told me about GameNetwork (he didn't know about LOM and I asked him for a game channel), saw Legend Of Mir show with their Game Jockeys and Carlito.

Thought "Wow that looks amazing!", got my dad to download it using university's connection (he works there) played to level 18, deleted by accident, started new char got to level 17, deleted by accident, got to level 23, left Euro just before 1.5 patch.

Found LOMCN through EvilEvil, played FrOzEnServer (first server I played - was on for like 20 mins and it went down forever).

Went to Helbreath private server ( www.pk-hq.co.uk ), that went down.

Back to LOMCN and been here ever since.

Lagg on character select screen.

Clicking delete, click OK, char not dissapearing, clicking delete again, click ok, lagg frees up and both chars gone.
