Shanda posted a teaser for their 11th Anniversary of Mir update. I don't know if many of you remember but Wemade originally designed Mir 3 as an expansion for Mir 2. It looks like Shanda is finally doing that.

Maps updated to 16bit and changed, Mobs updated, Armours etc. The whole she-bang.

Won't be a problem unless they change the client format... but i can see it happening, they done it to Mir3 sdo.

Looks great though, hopfully see Heroes using the update.

Looks really impressive, perhaps one of the main things mir 2 needs in some areas too. Hope it comes over to us but i'm sure you're already thinking of ways to make that happen. ^^

maps look lush, just if its same method, possibly the amount of animations could cause lagging on some lower spec servers full of mobs? Either way i need new pair of undies!!!!

some other stuff on that site which i think is about the mir2 movie thats been in production for awhile now.

They seem to be comparing it to the likes of harry potter/ lotr/ 300/ band of brother lol.
