September 19, 2001

Hmm while it's true that Mir went into commercial on that date, open and closed betas were on for months before that. So for those people the 10 years have already passed. The earliest date I could find using the wayback machine is somewhere around May 2001...

By the way does anyone know the name and date of first private server ever? I know it was around the time spider patch came in.

The official Korean servers already have celebrations going for it. Loads of flags around town and stuff.

If i remember rightly wasnt it LouD who leaked the first set of server files from the korean servers after he had been found cheating as a GM? I remember working on server files i downloaded from fernys in late 2002, some 6 months after i quit real Mir due the lack of updates etc. I used to go to a place called 'The Mir Server Resource Forum' of which i believe a few people are here from there!

i cant remember the name of the first mass played private server, just that there were 100s running them off their own Broadband connection... The Insane Server began life 3 months before my join date on here, and then passed on to TheBoss to finish in mine and DrUgZ's abscence.

Lol well back then things wern't really about user count, but more about having fun creating a server. There were no expectations of server owners, apart from keeping an eye on the mob lag lol.

Did enjoy the fact a fight broke out between WeOwn and P69 about who has the most users :P Infact i remember someone making a thread called "WeOwn Vs Project69" and had those nifty little user counter images to see who was winning lol

ye but still weown was such a good server because it had 100 users, where as the servers with 10-20 users were kinda boring.

the best thing about weown was you had like 20 ppl at a time fightin over reddragon xD

the msot fun thing tho was trying to lure OwNaGeOnE to a fence 2 kill it.. the real 1 that 1hit u lol :p

Anyway since it's all about Mir's 10 year anniversary, does anyone have any nostalgic screenshots, youtube vids or anything else to share? I remember there being a very funny flash made video of mir, with some zombies or ghouls dancing around, a hunt to wooma temple and some other funny bits. Think it was supposed to be made in a few parts but I've only ever seen one of them.

I HAD screen shots from 2002-2003 range but since I've had a few clear-outs I've lost my fav screen shot of Alaria killing me for exploiting noobs when hitting people on archers, then there's the one where i was in the middle of the water. (some attr's wasn't filled in)

The first real private server I remember playing was ragezone and Devil server not sure which way around it was but im sure Devil server was first, p69, weown, whiplash and frozen came much later.

I still keep meaning to download all the files. It's going to be a sad day when Mir does eventually die. Would want to boot up my server for nostalgic reasons, although playing on my own would be weird.
