Hello
@Piff1 welcome back dude, artficial mir 2 has hit the dust unfortunately and i'd say 70% of their players left the server the majority of the current usercount are without a doubt mining, fishing characters.
If you're looking for a low rate i'd go for Odysessy but the majority of the usercount will leave as soon as 3gena's server gets released.
However if you're looking for a high rate server that will probably "out-live"(as in you'd die irl and the server would still be running so you'd never see it end) you, i'd recommend Arcadia its been open for 7 years great usercount 70 on usual days, on event days they sometimes hit 130. It's gets the highest usercount in mir 2 from time to time tbh, so far its out-lived every server so extremely reliable.
And finally, if your looking for a peaceful highrate with really interesting quests, i'd recommend Project 69; yes the server is low usercount, sometimes hits 10 but its really fun and enjoyable, you can think of it as a story -- quest -- achievements kind of server, i gurantee u im not talking bs, i know people who've played the server for 5 years straight, and they still do. I also know people who play new servers, once they die come back to arcadia or p69 for a few months and then again repeat. repeat.
Otherwise, hold your horses wait until a cashcow server gets released and play it for a few months, eventually gm makes enough cash then closes it.
And then just repeat the endless cycle of joining a server after a server, they keep getting closed really frustrating tbf.
No offense to all but some good servers do get released once a while, they are extremely rare though, in the end the server owners get mentally damaged by a few toxic players and people who just trashtalk the server meanwhile playing it and donating LOL.
Bare in mind its really stressfull to run a mir 2 server publicly; the cries the moans, the people spamming in ur dms, happens even when its 3am in the morning and ur trying to sleep. hence why most people give up, the others its just either that they've lost interest in the game or they've made enough cash and have came to a realization that they wont make much more ££ and if they keep running the server its gonna cost them ££, so what they gonna do? close it ofc.
