what is this game, a single player MMO?

I've just looked around a bit and not gotten far into the game, but it's both single player and multi-player.

When you start the game, it asks you if you want to play a single player or multi-player game.

Is it any good?

Yes it is. I've been in the alpha for about a month now, and I have to say I am very impressed with Minions of Mirth. I've seen full retail games that are less polished then this, and its only in alpha. That game is coming along very nicely, patches are every couple of days, new stuff keeps getting added in.

Come join us in the alpha!

anyone else have any feedback on it? I'm hoping to try it out in a week or so when I have time, but I expected to see more chatter about it as wanting as the release schedule has been lately.

Hello!!!

This is Josh Ritter from Prairie Games.

I just wanted to drop a line to say the Open Alpha testing of MoM is going well and we are getting some valuable feedback on the game. I also wanted to share a link to a RPG title's most important feature:

It's PATCH LIST

We're really giving it our all with Minions of Mirth. I sincerely hope people enjoy and see the potential with the alpha version of the game!

Oh, and here's the "How to get the Alpha" thread.

Onward to beta!,
