Wemade Celebrates the Global Launch of its Legendary MIR M: Vanguard and Vagabond
Leading gaming company Wemade celebrated the global launch of its MIR M: Vanguard and Vagabond (MIR M) MMORPG game accessible on both mobile (iOS and Android) and PC. Accessible to play in more than 170 countries around the world and supporting 12 languages, MIR M is the sequel of the company’s popular IP of The Legend of Mir – with input from artwork, quarter-view (isometric), and 8-way directional grid movement of the IP to recreate the original gameplay. The added modern twist consists of contents and systems unique to MIR M, to create a version of the great Mir continent unique to this game.
The next-level stunning visuals paired with the new growth system (Mandala) give players the freedom to choose between being a vanguard (hero) – prioritising power on the battlefield, or a vagabond (artisan) – playing a key role in the in-game economy by focusing on honing a craft, be it gathering, fishing and mining to obtain a profession and reach the ranks of the Virtuoso. With the two categories of Combat and Profession, Mandalas include numerous Spot Points featuring different stats each. By connecting the Spot Points and activating stats in whichever way a player desires, their characters can be created in unique ways. This freedom of choosing their path leads gamers to experience MIR M in distinctive ways. Whichever path of growth a player takes, the result of their choice will be recognised as a meaningful one.
Divided into three major stages, MIR M offers players exclusive content, including Avatars, Companions and Mounts in the first stage (Early Game), and Mandala, Master, and Clan in the second stage (Mid Game). The third and final stage (End Game) introduces an intense round of conquests and battles.
The early game starts with “Avatars” that change both looks and stats, and “Companions” and “Mounts” that accompany the character in war and adventure, leading into the mid-game with “Mandala” where players will choose their own path to growth. It can be by practising a profession to become an “Artisan” and being part of “Clans” where a gamer can fight their own battle with like-minded players. The end game is all about wars, with “Hidden Valley Capture” and “Sabuk Castle Siege”, where the best clan wins.
With the battle contents of Rumble Battle and Clan Battle, the strength of characters and clans can be tested within Worlds, which consists of 8 servers each. Characters that have honed their powers in various methods of growth can fight against other characters in “Rumble Battles”; they can also join a clan to fight with their clan members in “Clan Battles” to prove their strength.
MIR M is built in such a way that every moment of the gameplay experience is filled with plenty of exciting things to explore and conquer and an emphasis on exquisite graphics to make the journey more enjoyable. Connected to MIR4 via the company’s WEMIX platform, the game also features optional added blockchain technology for Play and Earn enthusiasts. The combination of a F2P well-made game with depth, and the blockchain element, make MIR M a proposal hard to resist for gamers in 2023.

10-15% Of Gamers In Florida Show Signs Of Gaming Addiction: Here Are 10 Signs Your Kid Is Suffering From It (And How You Can Help)
Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.
Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.
Recognizing Early Signs
“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:
Exhaustion and Irritability
Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.
Gaming Obsession
If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.
Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests
A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.
Emotional Volatility
Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.
Physical Strain
Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.
Neglecting Basic Needs
If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.
Creating a Supportive Environment
While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.
Teamwork and Setting Boundaries
“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.
Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.
Open Communication
Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.
Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”
