Minions of Mirth, a totally free MMORPG

Short story, think free moddable Ever Quest with single player

Long story:

Last Monday i looked through some of my chat logs and found a link to a thread somewhere about a game called Minions of Mirth

Minions of Mirth is a MMORPG currently is open alpha that is targeted to be completely free except for buying the initial game engine and to be completely moddable, the game is really good, the community input during the alpha is awesome, we are shaping the way the game will be (witch is really cool in my opinion) the games creator, programmer, and owner Josh Ritter knows his MMORPG's, he is incorporating so many good things and fixing flaws no money oriented game company would ever do.

interesting...it seems that people don't post in advertising topics....oops..i just did

I really really don't get the thing people have here about advertising, does it really take that much mental ability to discern between someone trying to sell you something being the creator, or affiliated with the creators (which never happens on TLR) and some guy who is interested in somehting and wants to get others interested (which happens all the time).
I mean are the 65 "favourite food" threads really more deserving of a place here than this one?

if this came over as advertising to you guys im sorry, i really do think the game is good, but im just a gamer like most people

Okay, I checked out the website and I couldn't find anything about this at all. I just need to know how good of a graphics card and CPU you need in order to play this game. My computer (the one I'm on now because my good one broke.... again) is only a 1.0 CPU and I belive a 4.0 MB graphics card. I'm almost positive I can't play it on this computer but I was wondering about a 1.7 like my good one is. I do not like DLing things only to find out that I can't play them and have to take them back off, as that can mess up computers. It looks good, like World of Warcraft only free. They are doing Alpha testing now, I wonder if they'll let the Alpha testers keep playing for free.

it will certainly not run on your sys killa, but what you mean by letting the alpha testers play for free i dont know, the game will never have a subscription
