It may be time to become a full time geek again, how good is this server? and how slow and painful is the leveling :P?

For me it only becomes a grind if there isn't anything to work for. Having something to aim for at each level seems to make them go quicker. I cant stand servers that stick every item in a set at exactly the same level eg set1 lvl 10, set 2 lvl 20 set3 lvl 30 etcetc having things spread out always seems to work better in my book. Really looking forward to giving this server a go (currently killing time on FallenHeros - as Bob if anyone wants to say hi)

It's common sense to believe exp pots and buffs will be in the shop.

How big these pots and buffs are is another story. If you think they're going to stick to cosmetic bs, you're sadly mistaken

If you geek it on a hr server and make the top player status level wise, geeking it on a lr server will be no different if you geek to the same effort.

After all its just bigger numbers.

if x3 pots are introduced server will not last or should i say user count wont
when i said it will be a grind i didnt mean it to sound bad i mean a grind with a means to an end that will make server long lasting

Like most people I'm waiting to give it a shot. Had some real fun on original Mir with server wars against the chinese population. People die ing left right and centre. Not sure if I want to invest so much time but if it's good enough I will if not will continue playing other private servers and Path of Exile or Grim Dawn. But Mir was defiantly my favorite all those years ago.

this guy gets it.
Yes he does, but he left out that people who like to grind will do so anyway with or without exp boosts. The hard core levellers will keep on levelling whatever the rate like Shane said and whether its boosted or not.
Those are the ones that give everyone else something to chase after. People levelling too fast and then getting bored has been why a lot servers fade away. Or hideously expensive random exp pills which give anything from 100 exp to 100000(these very very rare)
and which are also in drop files
No exp buffs please

Low rates always last longer than High rates. Theres only so far you can go with a high rate without running out of ideas.

Anyone know if this will have the same "bag weight like lag" like AceM2 had? If so its gonna stop me from playing :/

Bag weight lag?

You mean moving slower when your over your weight limit? That's always been in the game, removing it completely removes the whole concept of bag weight

He means it's lag, and the lag is as if you're overweight, not that he's actually overweight :P
