For those wanting that classic 99 EQ feel

I've been looking many years for a successor to my EQ playing experience, and I finally found a game I'd consider on par with it....The name of the MMO is called Minions of Mirth.
Pros:
1. Has that classic dropped into the world feel that EQ had
2. Has quests but isnt quest driven
3. Not easy mode MMO, especially early on
4. Has a death penalty
5. Has 16 classes and you can multiclass up to 3 classes
6. Can play as a monster class
7. Free to play up to level 15 (A decent trial basically)
8. 100 levels that isnt accomplished in a couple days
9. Graphics are old school but acceptable, probably playable even on older PCs
10. Many classes have an epic (EQ players will know what that means)
Cons:
1. Small Pop...It took me years to find it...They dont advertise...The pop is very friendly and helpful though
2. Premium is a one time charge of 30$...Compared to what I paid for EQ thats a bargain but it isnt free if you want to go past 15.
3. Basically a solo game until later on...Youll be on your own for awhile unless you know others joining.
Summary:
I'd recommend giving this a try if you loved early Everquest...It is about the only MMO I have found that has that same feeling....The gameplay is fun and challenging, something missing in many MMOs now.....Its a small download (250MB or so) and free to play early.

30 bucks for a 250 MB game with dated graphics? No thanks.
To clarify, there's better, and more specifically, free-er alternatives.

Free-re is one of the major problems with the the genre and society as a whole.
I remember buying Minions of Mirth years ago,
is the game still supported ? I never got far into
it, was likely interrupted by another mmorpg
I think ill reinstall it, i remeber it quite fondly !
Thank for the reminder !
No it isn't.

It has a nice selection of classes and does some stuff i like but the graphics are just too dated.They could have easily got free textures to make it look better.
I watched some videos on you tube,i am sure i could have got into this back in the day but now i find nothing comes close to satisfying me like FFXI.MOM came out 2005 FFXI a bit earlier and although i have not played MOM i highly doubt it would come close to satisfying me like FFXI.
That's the problem i always see in gaming,if i want a Wow clone,ill take EQ2 anytime,then i have FFXI ,every other game that comes out just cannot compete for my money unless it is a way different beast that offers me something new.
My list that seems to never be matched.
fps's Ut99+Quake
single player : Half Life series.
Linear questing rpg's:EQ2
Depth rpg:FFXI
SO what ends up happening is time to time i need a break and play some other games,but nothing holds my attention for very long.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
If you paid for it once then you're good to go...tis just a one time fee then your premium for life.....Youd probably have to remember the email it was on but other than that shouldnt be an issue getting your account back.
