Scorpware has released version 0.9.3 of Secrets of Mirage! Secrets of Mirage which is also known as SoM, is a highly addictive 2D Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game. New features include:

  • Item drops from NPCs now auto-insert into player inventories.
  • Now have the option to kick your character if it is already online when you try to login.
  • General and Commander guild ranks.
  • "All Death" map morality where any player can be killed at any level.
  • Game on-screen text appearance.
  • Level cap at 1000.
  • Ability to officially duel players with a command, level 20 required.
  • Duel records are saved for each player.
  • Map tiles that can open websites and a sign tile
  • Email addresses may now be assigned to accounts.
  • Container/chest map object which may hold an item and require a key to open.
In total, there are 65 additions/fixes. SoM is a very large and friendly community which adds something to an MMORPG that no other game could bring. One of SoM's greatest attributes is its chat - you can chat on map, globally to everyone, clan chat or private message. One of SoM's flaws is that new players usually hate or love the game. This game is perfect for Classic Game lovers because it gives an 8-16 bit graphics experience, almost like SNES games.

Personal Comment: I personally downloaded and gave a go at this game. I must admit that the graphics are not 3D, nor were they extremely appealing, but something about it made me come back. Maybe I liked the classic graphics, it seemed to give me a break from these 3D environmental graphics...but that's just me. I especially love the community because it was almost like a small farm town where everyone knew each other by their first names. They are friendly yes, but they are also hilarious because some of the players would make many jokes to help lighten the mood. I was also extremely impressed when I discovered that SoM was programmed by 1 person. Even though the game consists of developers, mappers and moderators to help sustain stability and expand the realm, I found it impressive that one person programs the game and has done it for more than 3 years now. Not only is this lone man programming great, SoM's client and server is fully programmed in Visual Basic, and actually works well! There is a rare chance of a server crash and the lag is low. The admins are always helpful, fair and actually care! That's it! That's what I love about this game so much, the individual attention given to every player. SoM does not have thousands of players online at a time and because of that the players on SoM benefit from it. If something happens to you, everyone is willing to help. I Love it! Sadly many of you readers will not because the 8-16bit GFX will not suit your requirements. But that's what a game is, some like it, some don't. If you like it then play the hell out of SoM, I know I will.
