I'm fairly certain the lack of Mir3 attention is down to the files available to people.
They just suck, everytime i've played one i've had issues with the performance.
I'm not one to specifically tweak my PC in such a way to play a game...I have my PC, and i play all the games i play....i'm never going to specifically tweak it for 1 game, and I'm sure many others are the same.
If the files are decent, the attention will come.
But if not, who cares lol....the ones who have been waiting for a decent set of Mir3 files will finally have them to play on. People who want to stick to Mir2 can keep their cash cow servers :P
The problem is no the lack of files, the problem is allways private.
Without files = no more servers = no ppl playing mir3 = the game go to forget...
