CEO of QGO, (Quality Games Online), Anthony Burgess told HEXUS of his hopes for the next MMOG, The Legend Of Mir 3.

Total Format - They talk of a mir2 - Mir3 conversion of database, but I don't think that Mir2 was run by QGO.
QGO ran Mir3 and not Mir2, QGO went into liquidation after the took on R.O.S.E and became GR(Game Router)
This was taken from wikipedia - Which unfortunatly is not 100% correct.
The current European host for the game is the Italy-based Game Network, who obtained the license to run Mir 3 in early 2006. The original hosts were Bradford-based Quality Games Online (QGO). The game was in open beta from February 2006 until June 2006. Game Network made the game free to play in January 2009, removing all support. The servers were scheduled to close March 31,2009.
The information on wikipedia is incorrect and due to be removed, as QGO ran Mir3 up untill 2007 and then became part of GR and subsequently went bankqrupt - IEntertainment then opened the US Version of Mir3 and had the old QGO DB's so that Euro players had there accounts and able to play.
This is also another reference from wikipedia for Mir2
European Mir The
Italian company
Game Network is responsible for the operation of the European version of the game. Game Network originally had their own satellite
television channel, but it was canceled due to lack of funding.
In the 2007 yearly review and the September quarterly review, Digi-Bros made it clear they not only intended to replace Mir but also another MMORPG service they provided, the
Myth of Soma.
"Revenues from "Legend of Mir" and "Myth of Soma" subscriptions fell from €178 thousands to €32 thousand, and titles will soon be replaced by a new generation of games accessed from the portal for the European Market,
http://www.gametribe.com. Construction of the portal will be completed during the first half of the year."

Since early 2005 Game Networks Mir website has been rarely updated. The forums itself continued to thrive until February of 2008 when the hosting company replaced the default pages of the forum with a notice that they have been closed. The forum and the database powering it continues to operate though without the ability to post it has become somewhat of an archive.
Recently, as of January 2009 GNOnline released a statement on the Mir website stating the Legend of Mir 2, 3, and the Myth of Soma will be closing at the end of March

@Scorpian.
Sorry Scorp, had to remove your links from the wikipedia entry. You run a Private server and not the official and so reference to your server has been removed - This is due to copy write I'm afraid.
There's enough information on net to decide for yourself, but as I've said. QGO never ran Mir 2. This was GN or Digi Bro for Mir 2 & QGO or GR for Mir3
