Hi, I'm a new MIR player, but only MIR4... unfortunately it's not to my visual liking MIR 2/3 but anyway I respect those who do it. I am the creator of the MuOnline Server and I have always tried to do something very similar to what MIR4 is on my servers, but without "P2W". This answer has been the best, in the global server I reached level 81 and now I am trying "Awakening" but unfortunately it is "P2W Lowcost", it is cheaper than the Global Version but it is very limited in terms of update progress. Awakening is worse than the Original.
I hope that one day the Server Files will come to light.
Greetings! LLight.
P.S. Sorry for the horrible English, I'm from Latin America, Chile.
I cannot say that I am suprised about Awakening being a less than enjoyable experience it followed the same setup and Mir4CN and nither of them addressed the overall issues with the core of the game and future P-servers to arise can greatly improve there server and take away any community that those two server might have left by making three changes to the game.
1. Remove Darksteel, Energy, Plants, Ore that are lower than Rare off the market. This will remove one of the two reasons why people are running bots even on the Private servers.
2. Remove crystals from standard boxs in Secret Peak. This is the second reason they run bots.
3. Fix the reason the players feel the need to run bots which is simply because the amount needed to craft up to Epic/Legendary items requires an absolutely stupid amount of time gatherings I worked it out on offical and to gather the material to craft a full set of IV legendary (without buying off market or nft) it worked out at about 6-8 years spent gathering materials 24/7.
Bare in mind that gathering time only accounts for crafting the items not all the other features that use gathering materials which will probably be another 4+ years so basically unless you spend heavily on the game be it P-server or offical you will not reach the true endgame unless your playing for over a decade and who is willing to invest that amount of time to do so. I know I'm not and I am also not willing to spend $56000 buying the materials on offical via the Hydra store (only for materials to craft legendary gear for the trainning that is more than likely another 10-20k then legendary spirits).
In otherwords anyone who reaches the true endgame on offical will have spent the better part of 100k+ on the game and with more and more features getting added to force people to spend its pointless to continue on offical and if P-server don't change to adapt to the community who quit for the reasons I've listed Mir4 P-servers will have no future either.
