I remember the old man NPC in WW going wrong and continually belching out items. There were constant streams of people running from Bichon.
It was all lowbie stuff but it added up into decent gold.

These player numbers of between 2500 and 5000 seem a bit over the top.
5000 x £7 x 12 = £420k a year. I think even GN could have made a better job of it if they earnt that much a year.

Game network had a shareholder report where they explained that their revenue had dropped - It circulated as a possible end for Mir II.

From what i recall they were making over 1m per annum.

I was hanging out with anyone I could in Prajna Island

I asked OO1 if he needed a wheelchair and he said it was comfortable.

Lickmeballs4 told me to run and I didn't.

Don't know how many times I had to ban OO1 from the forums :D

Big enough that it was quicker for a lot of people to buy the disc they sent out.

Iirc their was a PC magazine that came with it as well.

Somwhere on a terribly corroded cd I have the original client that took days to download. Started like first day or so of beta. Will have a dig

edit.. After a quick dig found a HD from a 2007 rebuild. Copy of original Mir Manual i downloaded 4th june 2001. Had the original spitting spider which is cute lol

edit2.. Found what i think is the version 1 launcher. Saved it from certain death and tested, its still working. File date 10 July 2001

I started playing when you could only get up to level 7 without a subscription, had to convince my parents to pay the £6.35 a month for the game. I got kicked out of plenty of guilds because I was a clueless child. Fun times.

I remember saving up some of my lunch money each week, then going down to the co-op to top up my SplashPlastic. O_O

I remember hearing my older brother shout across the house because my parents picked the landline up disconnecting him from Mir 🤣
I was lucky back in the Isle of man, I paid separately for my own line into my room, and kept phone number private, so my 56k dial up never got knocked off. Only time it ever felt laggy was in spider patch and running rme floors, that place used to be jam packed with mobs.
