The Legend of Mir 2 - Definition and Overview

The Legend of Mir 2 is a sprite based isometric 3-D massively multiplayer online role-playing game, developed by Wemade Entertainment. There are currently four versions of Mir 2; Korean Mir, Chinese Mir, Taiwanese Mir, and European Mir. The Italian company Game Network is responsible for the running of the Euro Mir server. Game Network had their own Mir TV show, but it was cancelled due to lack of funds.

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.

Like a lot of Asian MMORPGs, Mir 2 suffers from tailor-made cheat programs, and numerous bug exploits have been abused by players. Private servers are also a problem, as the server code has been leaked onto the internet on more than one occasion.

There is also a sequel, The Legend of Mir 3, which has the same gameplay elements but has updated graphics, as well as being larger. It hasn't quite reached the popularity levels of it's predecessor, and has so far been released in the same countries as Mir 2, as well as in the U.S..
