fine i'll bother to reply this once:
first up: tom27 < a good set of mir files doesnt need any ip on server side
you just set the server to run everything on 127.0.0.1 and use the force ip feature on client, which dm2 and acem2 have (no clue about other sets). this way you only have to enter the correct ip on client (or dns) and it'll work even if your ip changes: you only need to edit the client (also solves issues ppl might have with routers not doing local loopback cause you can just force clients to connect localy and internet players can connect through your router)
second: far < maps dont have to be converted at all, in theory you can load mir3 clients straight up in the client, 'for now' (no eta on when/if i'll ever fix it) the client can only read shanda mir3's .Miz format tho not the mir3 .wil, so your map files have to contain images that are in .miz (works for most mir3 maps), also map editor can load mir3 wils

So what is different about this other than better looking maps? Is there a name view option, is the Korean interface implemented? Will there be GM's on all the time, what about anti-cheat protocol?
No Korean Interface, only the interfaces on the first page. Play Ruby servers if you want Wemade interface. There is a Name View option if I remember right, can't remember off the top of my head. These are public Server Files, we don't manage servers and we certainly don't GM them (Unless we run them ourselves). They're new files so Cheats will take a while to develop and we'll actively prevent them where possible.
Regarding other features the files have ton's some small, some large. I'm not going to make a list right now though. People will see a lot of them in the Test Server and even more when we release the files.
This looks outstanding. I will be switching to these as soon as they are released.
I just have one quick Q:
Does the client run without problems on Windows 8? I've had problems running the Ruby Client on Windows 8 and currently am only able to use WeMades Client on my crappy laptop. My problem was the text input fields (login/password/typing in the interface) doesn't show.

I don't think any of the team have a Windows 8 device but the Client is using an updated DirectX Engine so I expect it'll work fine. If not I'm sure we'll make the effort to fix it.
The client runs on Windows 8. I am testing client from around 2 weeks on windows 8 and runs smooth and with not problems. Also the light system is impressive, the most advanced and nice looking that has been to date in mir2/mir3.
Is the text problem of Ruby cleared ?
The problem in W8 is you type blind and only see what you typed after pressing return.
I`ll check when i get home, but at the moment from what i know, there is not problem on windows 8 pro. I can write commands etc and can see everything on chat. But i`ll double check.

This. Also i'd love to see pictures of any new dungeons. All i've seen so far are old dungeons and provinces.
Also, are there moving animations? I remember seeing a video of a moving waterfall a while back - would be good if they finally brought in animations like mir3
Wow, pretty impressive work.. can't wait. Only one questions, how will client updates work? Will there be a launcher or do we have to use koari launcher?
I only have a short video of Animations on the new Maps. The others may have more but they're likely all Work In Progress videos.

Regarding Dungeons currently Shanda haven't updated the Dungeons to the new Style but the files have new Maps and Tiles/Objects for at least another two sets of Mir 2 Dungeons. Chilipepper built some sample maps with one set I'll get him to post Screenshots tonight or I'll grab some myself. On top of all that we also support the majority of Mir 3 Dungeons so that adds a large selection of Dungeons for Server Owners to use.
It's funny we added in Mir 3 map support and I went to Bichon Wall it was crazy how empty and soulless it felt compared to the new Mir2 versions. The animations really do add a ton to the game especially when mixed with the new light engine. Mir 3 Dungeons still look great though.
For the Test Server and Release we'll be launching a modified version of the same patcher that Arcadia uses with thanks to Scorpian for letting us use it.
