Well I know it's only a private server on a dead game nobody plays any more, and the years? I think they've spent on it, I would of thought it would be done properly. fyi I won't even play this server. Thanks for your long thought out response
What your seeing is about a month's work of server development in-game right now, bare in mind we're also a small team of developers recreating everything from nothing. The thread started in 2011 but we've transferred files to Ace. Now, bare in mind our mind set is totally custom so we've had to remake all maps again so that the server feels right as you play it as Ace files support 32bit GFX. All of our old maps were designed around our 8bit GFX province. All the work we did a year ago isn't being put into our new server. The province you're seeing in-game took me 16 days to create.
The server will be done properly and we have our minds set on exactly what we want to create. As it's in beta nothing is balanced properly yet until I make an update for that sometime today. In time this will be one cracking server once we get our current content balanced, add a lot more content and then introduce custom features and idea's that we've been wanting to add for ages.
And as for wipes we will not wipe yet but we plan wipe to after we announce that the server will be going live. How long will this take is another question as we want to tweak and balance this server properly but until then our beta will remain open. We'll also be updating the server and have patches every few days which changes, possible new content and more so they'll always be something different to find as we develop more and more.
If you don't like the fact that we are wiping then all I can say is if you want a decent, stable Mir server with a completely new Mir experience that is very balanced economically, statistically and technically then you'll have to either play beta and help contribute to the servers development or wait till we go live.
I'd also like to thank everyone for their support, issue reporting and idea's that they've been giving. Been really nice to receive so much positive feedback.
