what is project M
Project M was a very short-lived experiment (I think just a weekend) where players could choose to spawn as a monster. Basically, in the create-a-character screen, there would be an option to be a monster. You'd be assigned a monster randomly (I think there were a bunch of options, but I don't think any of them were crazy high-level; mainly level 1-15ish stuff IIRC) and you'd spawn as it. Then you could explore your zone and attack other monsters or actual players. You couldn't zone; you had to stay in the zone you were in. You also couldn't chat. Basically, you could only do what the monster could do, except you could control it, and I think you could even level up.

It was really fun and a lot of people got a kick out of it, but it was never heard from again. Nilbog has said that he might be interested in pursuing Proejct M after Velious development was done, IIRC.
