Why is a private server slower than the real thing?

[RandomGKL]

I'm enjoying the pacing of the game atm, items are slowly starting to appear and aren't flooding the market. Book drops may seem a little slow, but they are dropping daily and at a greater rate then new players. Be patient or farm gold and buy items/books if you are in a hurry.

Don't agree with adding any pay to win style shop items / long term buffs, but quality of life items like the storage extension do exist. Also the mount skins look pretty good compared to the ones everyone else has.

My only real concern is the erratic timing of reboots, hoping as the bugs all start getting fixed it will turn into a weekly thing instead of every 2-3 days.

Population seems a steady 450-550 at peak times and drops to around 150-200 at silly O'Clock. This seems to have barely changed since the server started, not sure if that's bad or good :P

This whole 'items' will eventually end up in shops idea is complete rubbish. Almost everything under 25 should be in the shops now, corals bluejade neck, lvl22 armours purifiers etc but they are not. You know why? Because the shops don't store what is sold to them, also whenever there is a reboot everything is wiped, so please explain how anything extra is going to 'become a shop item'?

This is piss easy compared to dragon...dunno why ppl cry it's too hard lol

 

[Laylas]

Only thing I find completely stupid is like what's mentioned above, shops not storing items...

 

[Dimebag]

I think one of the main problems is that people don't sell to shops..... They use the junk man NPC and atm you can't search to buy whats been sold , therefore majority of the **** that drops is lost in that npc as people wont pay 10k to put it in the trust merchant! Also nobody will any decent items they might get as they will either lvl for it , store it or share amongst the guild mates,

lol find it people are moaning about the rate of the server... @Shak @Varaka did you play Euro?

It took 10x longer to get to Level 40 on euro then it dose on here... Im a casual player on here like I was with euro

 

[Dazzle]

First Lv40 on dragon server? was it savage16 (warrior) or Hilda1 (tao) ????? cant remember....

 

[terriblen]

It surely wont have been a tao first to 40.
Wasn't ts ing introduced a couple years into Euro. TU much later than that. You want items and skills RIGHT NOW when they weren't even in euro for you to have them after the server been open only for 2/3 weeks.

 

[grimlife]

I Hope they never make items stay in the shop. Will encourage player trades more...... will also give people something else to aim for then just a straight grind to the top in 1 or 2 caves, will force you to explore the wolrd a lot more aswell

TS was ingame from the start but im not sure people clicked on to it only doing good damage to undead mobs

Can't win, can ya?

Make things easy, people moan that there's not enough content and they're bored.

Make things harder and slower, they moan that it's too slow.

 

[Dazzle]

This server is just right... lets hope they dont read all the moans and **** things about :/

I'm sure all those items can be found in sabuk wall shops. That's where I & many ppl I know bought those bits from

 

[eternallight]

I think they have been removed fro sw shops. Couldn't find any accessories when I went yesterday

 

[deano13]

Has there been an explanation as to why the shops don't store the items sold to it?

Extremely complex intermittent bug which is near impossible to reproduce and can't be attempted to be fixed on live as it could generate a number of high level items from no where.

EDIT: I will find the issue, it is just going to take a longer period of time due to the complexity/not being able to reproduce every time.

I hope this helps.

Shops not keeping what's sold into them is a big minus, it removes one enjoyable facet out of mir for me, in fact I find them to be depressing, sore, useless places on mir.

I found in my bag spirit potion and not being tao and the TM being so expensive, I tried selling to pot npc but you can't sell it except to junk npc - (vomiting smiley placed here)

Tuning up drops certainly should be priority before we all get sick of 'moral rings' wherever we go. I do hope normal mobs you level on have some small chance of dropping a decent item once in a longer while. I find PI kinda bare with spiders not making the mass drops like they used to, can't harvest any mobs, not sure there is even FT, you took fun out of it and made it into plain leveling drag.

It seems that if the 'higher level items' are in drops as they should be, then it must be the exp rate that is too high if pple are nearing lev40 in lev20 shop items. If you think exp rate is OK then the drop rate should be improved.

I dipped for couple hours into BC and I left again because it seems just a shadow of it formerly appeal (more mobs, richer and more varied drops plus it wasn't totally outcompeted out exp wise by other areas of mir.

The OP suggestion of exp scrolls I do hope won't be taken seriously, certainly many nostalgic pple who expect just to cruise to 40+ levels in couple weekends play won't stay long and numbers playing the server will drop from those initial highs no matter what, question only is on what numbers it will level off after a month or a couple.

If people want euro drops why not just implement them?
They were released not so long ago?
Then have custom drops for new content?

Yep, was leader of Quantum Kings - Warrior, think I quit about 1 year before euro shut down because RL took over.
My sister was FoxyC ingame and a forum spammer.

I like the server as it is and its a lot easier then euro lol. This server has auto pot!!!!, try and play without it.

Do not add pay to win as I will win and quit after 6 months once I have reached end game. I would even say remove all exp buffs. The idea behind this is the players which work can buy these to catch up is good. But the players who play all day will find a way to buy these and just surpass everyone.

I think people need to be reminded of this more and more as this thread progresses:

People crying that items are not dropping enough after the server is only 2 weeks old, is absolutely pathetic and childish. It's a low rate. A REAL Low rate server. Get used to it. You were lucky to see more than 1 dragonring per week on euromir, why should this server be any different...
