The majority of servers are going offline as a avid mir fan and server host i was just wondering if lomcn could have promote mir in anyway at all? im as much as the next guy not wanting mir to die.

Lets start a "Don't let Mir die of Aids Campaign" ?
Truth is, i don't think it matters how much u advertise this game, It's 10 years old, Graphics are abit shabby, and tbh when you have Huge games like WoW / Rift (Diablo 3 Around the corner), Many people will take one glance at this, and laugh tbh.
Maybe, if the people of the community pulled together, finished of a set of files (Heroes / RubyM2 / Lemon.... Etc) Then i think it would bring some of the community back.
But there's people who don't appreciate this kind of work, and the people doing the work get pissed off from taking there own time and trying to do something for people, and having it thrown back in there face!

totally agree with you tbh maybe lomcn should get rid of old server threads i think that would help alot imo.
LOMCN cannot be a poster boy for Mir... One private servers are not legal LOMCN just provides a gateway to discuss and get access to such servers.
To go out and publicise that would be foolish, LOMCN does not get hassled because it stays relatively underground.

A game is nothing with out a community, thats the most important thing. Which lomcn does have, its just spread over so many different sets of files.

Fact is in this day and age with the graphical capabilities we see in games now, unless you were an old school player of Mir, you're simply not going to be able to "Get into" playing Mir...If I showed my younger brother this, who is a huge gamer, but I have an extra 7 years on him, he would simply say no "because the graphics sucks"...he's use to higher end graphics and gameplay, something that Mir just does not offer. Whereas me on the other hand, i've played Mir type graphics and these awesome higher end ones, so I could simply slip into any type of game that is out today as long as its enjoyable at the start

Its the gameplay that counts, all the new mmorpg are just carebear! They're boring and repetitive, one you've played one you have played them all. There not offering anything different.

i'm pretty sure no1 gives a damn what lomcn does lol , gamepot is dead and wemade have no reason to sue lomcn as they wont win anything
anyways i'm sure that lomcn could do some advertising stuff like sending all registered accounts an email like "hey we are not dead , still here and growing, take a look"
tbh i think if you wanted to get mir back to being succesfull (private server wise)
you'd need:
- only 1 'team' of hosts (it's stupid to think that a game is good just cause there's alot of hosts), 1 big "host" would allow shared user accounts over multiple servers, easy acces to every server to pick from (aka you might have 3/4 different exp rates etc, but they are all under 1 roof)
- all players united in a verry verry limited amount of servers (maybe 3 max for the current playercounts), lets face it: most ppl say they want pvp, most pvp only gets fun if there's at least 200 active players (and hardly any servers even reach 20 on at any point)
- decent files maintained verry frequent and reliable: i see lomcn changing sets of server files every few weeks, and never finishing any + the few closed source either get bad reviews, die out fast or simply never get going cause ppl keep dreaming of having their own code to go modify as they see fit
in the end: the main goal to make a better tomorrow= kill all other servers so there's only a limited (but great) supply to chose from

- its to late for this personally, in the past yes, i remember this was discussed on the mir unleashed project (?) and people didnt like the idea of not being in control of their host / users accounts.
- heroes and ruby will be good and different if the work continues to be done on them.
- i think whats left of the community is 70% server creators and 30% players lol, if people cant create / advertise their server here they will simply go else where, also there is only a few servers left, you cant really narrow it down any more than it currently is.
many host find it hard to update with data.
if a great team was to code and host but just not a set data map and so would make a server.
key is to have a open mind coder.

Why? How I see it at the moment is GamePot is dying, we all know this. If they are dying, they could easily blame the private server community, sue us all for damages and then we bankrupt!
Personally, I think there's just too much talk about how to revive Mir and Lomcn, and not enough action.
And I believe one of the main reasons for that lack of action is due to too much speculation over minute possibilities.
