Ok I wasnt here at the beginning. I take it Consty coded this engine right? Did he do it all himself... also where is he now? I guess this began as a game then someone got the source and released it? More less just give me some back info on this.

Consty created most of the source. And released as a game, Mirage Online. A month after he ran the game, he sold the game to me. This was in 2001. In 2002, I forked the code, created PW, and sold PW to Kael.
In late 2002, Ryan Samans (the criminal known as "PC") received the source. At first he claimed he decompiled Mirage. But as everybody knows, that's impossible, you cannot get source code from a "decompiled" VB app. Then he claimed to have received it from Consty. This is the only possibility, as only Consty and I had the source. In any case, PC received the source code illegally.
There have been several people pretending to be Consty starting crap, each time, they have been banned and proven fraud. Consty has wiped his hands of Mirage after committing the criminal act.
PC attempted to release the illegal source code on several sites, including PSC, I used the DMCA to shut those sites down. Since then, the criminal have faded from the scene. In 2003ish, I released the legal source code on PSC.
After I have done that, Granite bought the MS domain, brought up the community around MS. And the rest is how you see it now.
Thanks. Pretty interesting.
Haha.
