Played seven and loved it, so downloaded 6, but i had a few problems:
1. Where is water expert?
2. Where is air expert?
3. I found the flying scroll is there sound cheat, using it to get to the shrine of Gods?
4. Not related to 6! Is MMX any good i saw a video on youtube and it looks pants?

Thanks
>>>>> 1. Where is water expert?

There are two. One is in new sorpigal area, on an eastern island. Ideally, you would need the water walk spell or Fly. Ignore the monsters there for now.
The other is in Free Haven, in the western part of the city there.

>>>>> 2. Where is air expert?
New Sorpigal, bank's balcony. Use the Fly scroll, or the jump spell
Alternatively, there is an air expert in Free Haven, close to the Water Expert.

>>>>>> 3. I found the flying scroll is there sound cheat, using it to get to the shrine of Gods?

My advice: Don't go the Shrine of the Gods (and NWC dungeon) that early. It will ruin any early-mid game challenge you might have.
Instead, use the scroll to reach both the New Sorpigal air and water expert in one casting,

There is no official MMX. If you refer to MMIX, it sucks.
The last playable, official MM game was MM8.

If you mean that single character abomination that is Might and Magic in name only, then no it's not very good.

If you play it for what it is--a single character action adventure type game, then it's okay.

Are you referring to Dark Messiah of Might and Magic? Some people like that game a lot actually, although it admittedly has very little to do with Might and Magic. But I doubt that by "MMX" the OP was referring to Dark Messiah.

Or is there another single-character action-adventure game with Might and Magic in the title that I don't know about?

Crusaders of M&M.
Be grateful you don't know about it :P
MM9 is fine if you're so starved for MM action that you just can't help yourself.

I followed 3DO pretty closely around MM7. Basically, they spread out a lot of resources making Crusaders of Might and Magic (a mediocre linear action RPG), the Heroes series, and a failed MMO which later begat Legends of Might and Magic (an attempt at a Counter Strike-style online fragfest).

It's a wonder MM9 got made at all. It's clear that the designers didn't quite no how to adapt the epic style of the MM series to the technically limited engine they were using. The first enemies you fight are tiny skeleton men who are laughably ugly. The zones are tiny and the inventory system is headache inducing.

However, after I played it for a few hours and got over the look and mistakes. It wasn't too bad of an RPG.

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic comes from a different development team altogether and has nothing to do with the Might and Magic universe. However, it's a fun action RPG. It's designed so that you can use the environment to your advantage while fighting. For example, you can kick enemies into walls of spikes, you can lay a patch of ice down and watch them slide off of cliffs. There are quite a few things to enjoy.

DoMM has almost no "world" to it. In the beginning there's a city, but you never shop or complete side quests, etc. The voice acting is also pretty cheesy.

I don't know if we'll ever see an official Might and Magic10. Video gaming has changed. The multiple-character, first-person RPG genre is dead. With true 3D games, we expect to see our characters in the world and interact with them. In that regard, Bioware kind of killed a lot of the traditional RPG franchises that depended on that gimmick.

You can also blame MMOs. For a while, every company had one in the works. The money was too good. As the games failed again and again, resources became scattered. Teams dissolved. When I think of all the MMOs that never got published or failed, I have to think that those teams could have cranked out pretty solid RPGs instead.

If it was up to me, I'd go old school and remake Might and Magic. It would follow the MM8 set-up and have you create one character and meet others along the way. Also like MM8, you'd move in first-person without your other characters "existing" in the world. There WOULD be inter-character dialogue and actions as well. But who knows what, if any, we'll ever get in the way of a true MM RPG.
He might be referring to the fan made project MMX which, as far as I know, isn't a full game or released in any way. There are several videos of combat featured with the game engine on youtube though which don't look half bad.
