What is
Legend of Mir? |
 |
The Legend of Mir 2 (Korean:
미르의 전설 2) is a sprite based
isometric 3-D massively multiplayer online
role-playing game developed by Korean-based Wemade
Entertainment.
In The Legend of Mir
you can be a powerful warrior and develop your
ability in close combat, a skilled wizard with a
whole set of spells or a mystic taoist provided with
inner spirituals powers.
Thousands of users can play together in the
challenging world of Mir, which allows you to access
numerous levels as you become stronger, to explore
dangerous dungeons and fantastic cities and to
create powerful guilds.
While being moderately
successful in Europe, it has been incredibly well
received in Asia, and was the most popular MMORPG in
China in 2002 and 2003, with over 250,000
simultaneous users being reported. The game has also
claimed to have 120 million players worldwide.
The sequel, The
Legend of Mir 3, has a very similar gameplay but has
updated graphics, as well as providing larger maps.
Like its predecessor The Legend of Mir 2, The Legend
of Mir 3 is hugely popular in China and South Korea.
It has been certified by the Guinness Book of
Records for having 750,000 subscribers online
simultaneously. |
