I was refered to euro mir by a friend who was starting to play it after seeing the show (With geoff \o/) 1w after it went open beta (the first week was spent downloading it in my 6pm->10pm internet allowance) (I brought my laptop into school to use their 128k isdn for an hour, that was good, took a good 4 hours off my total download time (1 night of downloading)
Then i played that for a long while, then started translating the first set of private files, and played both for a while, then went private only (when my euro account expired - one year after p2p started) then stopped both, then private mir3 (Shadow/Fantasy), break, euro mir3 (didn't p2p tho), MirX, break aint gone back to mir yet.
Milo: Spider patch was fun, i spent ages trying to get it on 56k, in the end my friend got someone to download it for him and post it \o/
Downloading mir3 the first time was good aswell, I managed to get a completely ****ed copy, cos i downloaded it, then tried to use the ftp to patch it (the auto patcher didn't work) and only got some files, so i had _alot_ of missing stuff). Thats why i quit after fantasy, cos i cba downloading it on 56k.
