Why you might like it
- None — official Minions of Mirth servers closed on September 22, 2017, following a hard-drive failure at developer Prairie Games.
Things to consider
- The shutdown was reportedly precipitated by a technical failure rather than a planned business decision, an unusually abrupt end for an MMO.
- The game's single-player mode and at least one private server have continued to operate after the official closure, giving some limited ways to still experience parts of the game.
- It originated as an early indie MMORPG effort, notable for being developed by a small team relative to major studio productions of its era.
- Community continuation efforts (private servers) carry the usual caveats around stability and support compared to an officially operated game.
- This profile is kept for historical reference — there is no full official service today, though limited unofficial options exist.
