One of the bonuses of having Pirate101 set in the same world as Wizard101 is that the former can benefit from some of the latter's layout. KingsIsle has launched a big expansion for the game that includes some old favorites for veteran players, starting by sending pirate captains to the familiar land of Marleybone. Players will be investigating a war zone they helped inadvertently create while working up through another 15 levels of experience.Pirate101 sets sail for Marleybone originally appeared on Massively on Fri, 24 May 2013 21:00:00 EST.

Hi,
I'll get right to the point because you're already nice enough to have read this far ...
I have not tried ...
I am waiting for ...
I love ...
I don't like ...
I really just want something to immerse myself in and enjoy until W* comes out. Want to make some progress, kill some baddies, meet some people, etc. Such a shame about GW2. I just never knew when to dodge because there were no real telegraphs. Anyhow I would love justification with suggestions too! YOU ROCK!

Mu will turn 10 years old in some months. I didn't find any thread about it, and it think it is a game worth having a discussion. Compared to today's mmorpgs, Mu might look rudimentary and outdated. However, for a lot of people it was our introduction to mmorpgs and we still have some appreciation for it. Yes, it was a grind-fest, but for some reason it was still fun (or at least I still liked it). You could spend hours partying with some dudes on a spot and have a great time, maybe because in part its combat mechanics allowed you to easily talk about anything with your mates while fighting. The good old elf that was essential in any party was not a mere boring healer, its auras and arrows were devastating and also fun to play. Graphically was not the best looking game but it worked. These big ass shiny armors that lagged the shit out of your computer if you were in a very populated town were appealing to see. There are games that offer much more content and options and still fail horribly. On the other hand, Mu was very simple and didn't offer much customization, how could it last that long then? My guess is that it had a nice community overall (depending on the server though), which I guess is what made it so addictive. Or perhaps that it was more like a casual-mmorpg than a full mmorpg per se.
Did you use to play it? What are your thoughts?
P.S.: Apologies for my English.
