This is my favorite online game ever, hands down. I love mythwar and i was one of it's very first American players. So i'm going to spread the word. First the site is
http://mw.igg.com and that will take you straight to the download/requirements page. The home page is
http://mw.igg.com/index.php. The battles are RPG style and the turn flow is very reminiscent of Final Fantasy, you have an action bar that fills and when it's full you take a turn. There are four races both in two genders, and every one of the eight characters has at least one unique skill, though races share some skills. All characters have 4 different skills, and at higher levels stronger skills and skills that hit multiple targets become available. Not long into the game you attain a pet who battles with you and is like a second character, pets learn only four skills in thier lifetime, one at each skill level. Usually it is the same skill at all four levels but a few break the mold and have 2 or even 4 different skills.
Hopefully the newbie initiation quests will help you with any other questions you have, or you can mail or pm me in game at the id 1540 (character name CotaShot). Now i'm going to post my favorite screenshot of the battle screen. My party is on the right fight a rather difficult boss monster, this was a while back though and he's easier now for us. The messages above our heads are examples of the chat system, which is the same in battle as out, what we're saying is we're mimicking something the NPC's you fight do randomly. There's all kinds of silly messages they'll send you but this is the one that all of them do at once, like we did here.

The character i'm piloting at the time is my male human, i don't use him anymore but the centaur i still use is in the battle too. Multiple logging on is, as far as i know, not against the rules and fairly easy to do.
Just for a parting note, please make sure you join Missouri server if you do join. Once again I'm CotaShot id 1540 and i'm very helpful, but if you join a different server i won't be able to speak to you the four servers are completely separate.
