I've been playing ML for quite some time, and it's still very fun.
When i first started there was someone who was willing to help me, and I was enjoying how easy it was to just log on and start playing by-the-way
The community is friendly, and always willing to help you out, and there's almost always someone online that can help you out.
I've found that if you use Mozilla Firefox (located at www.mozilla.com/firefox) It lets ML run faster because it caches images, instead of having to load them all row-by-row like IE
The concept is pretty simple, move around with the turns you're assigned (150 a day for freebies, or more for paid accounts) And gather up the skills required to get build, smith more weapons, and once done with that, the goal left is to either join an alliance (if you haven't done so already) or make your own
As himogreenleaf and hillbillyrocks have said before me, this game is greatly addicting, graphics or not, and it's changed drastically since the last time www.free-games.com has screenshotted it.
One such change is Territorial Lords, of which there are two. I am one, and Each Lord controls a small plot of land assigned to him by the admin (ThePast) My Land is at coordinates (-400, 500) to (-500, 400) They are given power to aid the players on their land if a nefarious 'criminal' tries to attack them.
Rules are simple too, Don't make more then one account, and talk to others within the reasons of civililzation.
If you ever need help just message me in-game, I'm L33TMaster (click player search, then type my name in, click my name, let the alliance/name status load, then scroll down and click send mail)
In conclusion, I've loved the game, I still love it, and I probably will continue to love it. Even though I paid for one of the special accounts, I'd play even if I was still a freebie.
Post Script- The Forums on ML are also greatly entertaining, Sometimes maybe a little too much ^_~
