Foremost in the New and Improved department is the flexibility of the model that Prairie uses for character and party building. Points are distributed among characteristics, and there are a huge number of races, classes and professions to choose from. Once you form a party, there are still chances to align yourself with up to 36 other players online, the "massively multiplayer" part of the MMORPG equation. I like that there is a complete single player mode available, and two different multiplayer options. One multiplayer setting allows for player-vs-player, another sets the stage for battles against monsters. You can even beat monsters and play them as characters in the online world! Safe to say that few PC RPG gamers have had so many options for establishing parties and interacting with virtual worlds.

Whilst in game though, you'll only be playing one of your party, but you can switch between members at designated points. Once you've created your party from the available range of characters, which include humans, elves, dark elves, drakken, (kind of bipedal lizardy things),orcs, dwarves, halflings, gnomes and titans, but to name a few, and chosen the class you want them to specialize in, you then log on to one of the game servers. PrairieWorld is the main server, but MoM also allows players to mod the game and host their own server. You don't even have to play a whole party if you're not that way inclined, the game is just as enjoyable and playable solo.
