I think whatever the speed of the server is, it depends on how much time you spend in the game. Even at a very high rate, if you don't have time, it's no different from a low rate.
Sick of mir2 servers they have all been disappointing and too many keep coming out, same goes for mir 3.
I would say low rate. Lost trust in private servers in general as most of them don't last longer then a few months now days.
P.S Your last server didn't last very long.

What I'd personally like, would be an EXTREMELY low rate server. Like 40 in 6 months of hardcore levelling. But to go with that, a very high catch up mechanic. 100% exp buff per level under the highest level. The idea would be the entire player base would be very similar in level, so it would be very balanced level wise. I'd also add in a high drop buff for the highest level, like 50%+ drop rate, to make sure being highest level and keep levelling is worthwhile.
So the hardcore players go from say 39-40 in say 2 months. The players who aren't hardcore, require half as much exp to get 39-40, so 1 month. Someone gets to 41? 39-40 now takes 2 weeks, etc. I'd want 90% of the player base to be a few levels from each other.
This should lead to a very party orientated server as people will be able to group with each other very easily, as they'll be similar level. Make guilds small, cheap to form, permanent buffs to specialise the guild, and alliances for world PvP.
I'd also make all bosses similar power/difficulty (they'd all be tough AF), moving all low level drops to subs/mobs. The bosses would scale to the current player base level, so the best items from WT when everyone is sub 30 would be sub 30 items and would be killable by a group of sub 30s, when everyone is 35, it would scale to drop 35 items. He would drop legendary items obviously, just low level ones. I'd also make them unsoloable through an aoe attack that does damage based on number of targets hit, more people, less damage (1shot a soloer).
Think this would lead to a much more interesting server. PvP would be off the scale as it would be vs similarly powered players. Everyone would be looking for similar level items, which would drop from bosses that would only attract groups so would constantly be group vs group combat. (Honestly, I can see it being too hardcore and might need to make it so all bosses spawn at same time to try disperse the player base a bit xD).
Forever level 1 with base dress and a wooden stick?i am currently working on what i hope to be the hardest low rate server ive ever played.....

With or without the catch up mechanic? Frankly it's one thing to have ultra low rate, but without some way for new players to gain on the "entrenched" playerbase, the server will just die, like every other mir seems to do. The barrier of entry should be minimal to new players.
Just look at WoW, within a month a totally new player can be raiding fairly hard content with an established guild. If I started a mir server that's been up even a month, by the time I've spent a month levelling, the people I'd want to have gone hunting are again another month ahead of me. Never ending until the people I want to play with have quit for a month, or you become a burden on them by leeching (but still never actually catch up).
It's just daft really alienating prospective players. I'd kind of be interested how many casual players last more than a week on established servers. I can't see it being more than 5% between all the random gankings and general hating on new players.
i see your point on this but also wouldnt it be unfair to the people that where playing a for a month and some one comes on 1 day and with in a week caught up with that player quickly ? thinks like the newbi guild in games give you extra exp ? some caves how extra exp rates on some days, guild hunts there to help people level up ? thought saying mate but i do see your point no one wants to start and be miles behind but..
fishing server owned HAHA, i only just started mir back up the server making side lol dam the coding side a little much for me lol but ill get there and look forward to see what you bring out loli will utilise the rested mechanic i used on my last server, in that rested exp is worth more the lower your level.
so a casual player isnt left behind in terms of level. the one advantage a more hardcore type of player will have is not the experience but the ability to find rarer drops, a casual player would just have to be lucky.
im working on other bits and pieces and theres no time frame for me at this time. but just putting it out that i want to play again and i dont like the current servers (no offence to any server owners)
if anyones played one of my servers (with exception of the fishing server tbh lol) you will know what i put out

I don't think I would pick any of those rates. They all seem quite high rate to me. Rates now in Mir don't seem to mean anything. Rates would only really matter in a like for like scenario where the content is pretty much the same. I think we just use the term now to how fast and how big the numbers are, no matter what the content is.
I believe that the rate of the server should match the content that the server provides. You have to think to yourself, how much time would a player enjoy spending in each area without getting too bored. If the rate is too high then the low to med level content becomes pointless. If the rate is too low then the high level content is rarely met as players get bored and end up leaving the server. You have to find the right balance.
This also pretty much the same for the "Lv.40 in 2 days gets hard after 45". You might as well not even bother creating content for sub 40 and just having the starter level at 40.
