Mir 2 Joins DONTBLYNK Gaming Portal

MMO publishers Gamepot USA and YNK Interactive have partnered up to bring Mir 2 to a larger audience. The Legend of Mir 2 is a classic free to play MMORPG that has been played by millions across Asia. The game has been revived and brought to the West as Mir 2: The Legend Continues.

YNK Interactive will be ‘channeling’ Mir 2 which will allow registered members of their DONTBLYNK portal to access the game. The channeling method has helped publishers coordinate in the past. Uforia channels the NosTale global service, and ijji offers more games through channeling arrangements that it publishes it self.

Mir 2 was originally developed by WeMade Entertainment which is still an active MMO developer and publisher. They currently publish the sequel to Mir 2, titled The Legend of Mir 3.

The DONTBLYNK portal offers a wide range of free online games including SEAL Online, K.O.S. Secret Operations, and Krazy Aces,

Gamepot USA is best known for Bright Shadow and Fantasy Earth Zero.

Gamepot USA partners with YNK Interactive to channel the popular MMORPG

ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. – May 20, 2010 – Online PC game publisher YNK Interactive has partnered with Gamepot USA by channeling their fantasy MMORPG, Mir2. YNK Interactive has added Mir2 to www.DONTBLYNK.com where DONTBLYNK members can now play Mir2 through the same game portal along with other free-to-play games like Seal Online: Evolution, Krazy Aces, and K.O.S.-Secret Operations.

“The strength of our games is measured by the quality and enthusiasm of our community,” said Margeaux Sullivan, Marketing Division Manager for Gamepot USA. “We are excited to partner with YNK Interactive to share our games with a wider audience.”

Mir2 is set in the land of Mir where players can choose from four professions: Taoist, Wizard, Assassin, and Warrior. Mir2 allows players from around the globe to come together and venture out in the expansive land of Mir, encountering numerous quests as they fight monsters or amongst themselves while gathering items to better equip their character’s armor, stats, and abilities.

“I’m thrilled in our partnership with Gamepot USA and certain that Mir2 will be a hit with our DONTBLYNK members,” said Marines Didulo, Marketing Manager for YNK Interactive. “Channeling Mir2 enables us to expose this fascinating game while continually providing a great online interactive experience to our expansive user base.”
