Woohoo!

I wanted to share some more 'Minions of Mirth' reviews that have us buzzing out here on the prairie. First up, there's a review over at GameVortex, with a score of 85%:

Quote:
Foremost in the New and Improved department is the flexibility of the model that Prairie uses for character and party building. Points are distributed among characteristics, and there are a huge number of races, classes and professions to choose from. Once you form a party, there are still chances to align yourself with up to 36 other players online, the "massively multiplayer" part of the MMORPG equation. I like that there is a complete single player mode available, and two different multiplayer options. One multiplayer setting allows for player-vs-player, another sets the stage for battles against monsters. You can even beat monsters and play them as characters in the online world! Safe to say that few PC RPG gamers have had so many options for establishing parties and interacting with virtual worlds.

...and then on to a Strategy Informer review, which scored the game a 8.7/10. This is the highest rating they have given an RPG since Guild Wars!

Quote:
This truly has all the elements of a classic, and is being improved upon constantly by the development team. The sheer range of characters to play and things to learn will keep you entertained for hour after hour. Tell your family you love them and you'll be back when your quest is completed.

Here's an honorable mention from GameTunnel, which doesn't have an exact rating though:

Minions of Mirth to a plateau- it is the best indie MMO I have ever played. Period.... *SNIP*... Community is king, and Minions of Mirth is currently reigning supreme.

If you haven't checked out the Minions of Mirth: Free Edition, what are you waiting for??? Snag the installer, jump online, and say hello!!!

IT'S FREE!!!!!*

Congrats, great to hear you getting some good reviews. I might have to snag some time and try the Free Edition, lol been a long time since I've played MoM :)

Gotta get my girlfriend to grab the free edition. She played during the beta with me and loved it. Great job Josh!

Awsome! Congrats on the great reviews, I'll definitley be picking up MoM pretty soon. I played the demo, and thought it was great. I'm looking forward to seeing what the future of MoM holds!
