Mir server populations
- Thread starter Kazababy
- Start date
The number is real but yeah it's hard to believe. Sam and the team did a fantastic job advertising on Facebook and building up a fanbase. It's brought back players from Euro who never played other servers and I'd imagine it's brought in new players too. There's also a decent number of Chinese players who want that old school feeling that they can't get in China. There is no Stall system in game or afk mining (You mine nodes now and they random spawn) so like Primo said that rules them out.
Chronicles uses the AceM2 files yes, the ones that were supposed to be released. Times changed and so did plans. I was the one who always talked about releasing and I quit developing Mir mid last year. Sam and the team are free to do what they want with the files and code now. Though at some point when/if Chronicles is gone I'll push for a release or do it myself.
You can see the increased activity for Mir in general btw Bon, the LOMCN daily active members was hovering around 700-800 at Mir's lowest slump it's now at 1600+.
Its believable ingame Ben
that screenie of MW is nothing.
BW/PI/TV are ALL like that.
And even Woomyon woods camp is like that.
everywhere you hunt there's grps all around you.
Its better than i EVER remember euro being (tho i did play P Server...)

It's actually really nice to go to places like ST, caves which on most Private Servers are unused expect the 7th floor, but on here they're full of people hunting. Solo, people in groups with 2-3 and then you get loads of full groups running past you.
Go OmaCave, and you will struggle to find a BE even if you hunt there for 3 hours because theres that many people playing

be interesting to see how long it lasts... from past experiences low rates are extremely fun at the start when your all racing to be #1 and the highest levels etc... when levels and items/upgrades come as frequent as a high rate.... but as soon as you hit that brick wall and you realize it'll take a month of solid levelin to gain 10 hp the game soon loses interest.
thats when the real challenge starts for a developer because you need to be supplying that sense to achievement/reward but at the same time you gotta keep it "low rate" as to not unbalance it all.
lets face it the only thing that kept euro going was the social side of things.. the game itself was pretty boring and repetitive.
then later on you find troubles of not getting any new members because its impossible to catch up.
wish u the best of luck, its not easy!

When has it ever been about beating other servers? Its a low rate like every other low rate.. Added features or not. Bon has got a point, just because you re-release a game with a few added bits, does not make it any different, or remove any old problems. Mir has always had the problem that people got bored and spent majority of time stood in SZ waiting for the next SW or pvp Fight. If you want this all to work, then some massive parts of Mir need to change... As soon as people start hitting higher levels you will see many people drop of, that is just the way of the low rates. Only the most geeky survive.
probably does considering the usercount... i never said it was a competition or tried to put the server down... so jog on kid i aint got time for people like u.
im just saying low rates have the biggest challenge of all keeping people engaged in the game when it becomes super hard, boring, and repetitive. high rates dont have that feel because every month ull have gained some levels, probably gained a whole new set of items, hunted in a whole different bunch of areas, killed a bunch of different boss's... its essentially a new server every month or so
the only ideas i could come up with on low rate to keep it more fun is to really focus on the pvp side of things... on euro i only played because of the OKS wars every 3 hours followed by ZT/MTK/BL etc fights. it was only fun because of that 3-4 guild battle... w/o that the game woulda been dead to me.
maybe these coders can add some sorta pvp battleground like WoW..... if you add in pvp items you open up a whole bunch of new things to do for players also
like i said its tuff be interesting to see how it goes
I do and I dont.
You gotta think i havnt actually played mir for a very long time... once i started running servers that was the end of my playing days.
I miss the development side of things for sure... seeing new mobs/spells/maps... coding new mobs, scripting new events and stuff... that was awesome.
There were talks between me matt and another guy making a new server in java with me and matt coding it, but unfortunately reality is with our jobs we just dont have enough time.
I thought about poping on one of these servers just to see the progression the files have made, but with it being a low rate i dont have that kinda time to level and see the new stuff, shame really.
if it wasnt for the fact someone took over threeheros and new files have been released, I was about to release all my work... oldskool, 3h, 4h lr, 4h hr ... source code for the files etc just to keep the community going. But with these new files... it just doesnt seem like any of my work even comes close to it.
