It might be helpful if you explained what you think is wrong with mir3 compared to 2.
Lets look at a few pros and cons shall we:
PRO's
Has Shoes, Horses etc working - always has
runs at 800x600 with 16 bit colour
CONS
Client is a big D/L - always purt people off
Canot think of too many at the moment - people say PVP is crap - yet no-one has yet to explain why. On both your Shift Click a person and away you go - difference been on mir3 (unless changed) you loose Exp and drop things.

Well thats down to the server owner to be honest - if they cannot afford £22 a year plus £8 for a domain name then thats there problem i feel.
By the way - the above web space is ASP only - no friggin big deal - pleanty of portals and forums thats ASP and FREE. Bandwidth per month is 15 gig.
Now the major problem people have with the updates is this - they bang together all sorts of random files and its like 500+ Meg before you know it. If you know what your doing then what you do is use a directory compare util to basically work out what files you need for downloads - easy.
Now i know not everybody has BroadBand but i would say a lot have which means it does not take that long to D/L the Client plus Updates. Another soloution is people BUY a Client CD for like £2.50 (2 Cd's plus postage) and saves them downloading anything at all.
But hey - no problems - pay your 10 euros a month for your MIR3, your money dudes.

I say they are, but that's mainly because i play truely private Ei servers.
These public ones you guys see aren't really up to scratch, but that's mainly due to the lack of a main Ei team.

true, but doesnt all the people that host public ones get there updates from Wemade? i know that GN didnt make all them cool updates to mir -.-
yup we get our updates mostly from wemade...at least that what is usable (or can be made usable) with current private mir3 client/server system

As per post - said Excluding Mobs, Magic etc.
So im guessing the question here is comparing the interface, the game itself and so on.
Now lets get this right - mir2 1.4 with EI Mobs and items with some added maps etc from later version is Better then the current crop of Mir3 servers? As i said at the start - I wish the orig poster to back up his reasons for this poll/post and if possible what servers he has played on.
At the end of the day though - some people love mir2 some people think mir3 is better.
blah, ez to make magic, but like the mobs on minimaps, and boots u can wear, thatr was wemade, GN is lazy SoBs.....
Reason I posted and what I meant…
Its more about what the severs are like.. The effort that’s gone into it. The reason I’ve excluded mobs n stuff is because anyone can get files like mobs and magic. Files obtained from patches and stuff don’t normally add anything special to the sever..
Now, if we look at mir 2 servers, they seem to have more coding (npc) and effort put into the game play, not just files. I guess its because there are more mir 2 severs and more ideas out there. I must admit, its been a while since I played mir 2 and 3, but I have been watching a couple of them of my mates shoulder (I don’t know the names).
I feel that mir 3 servers are all about new magic’s and better graphics only (I know some have added stuff).. And with this post I can see what others think/say so I can get a better idea of whats what!
My view may be wrong, if I did think it could be wrong – I wont bother with a poll
EDIT: should have posted that at the start but I have this terriable habbit of thinking people understand my gibberish

Ahh now it makes a lot more sense to me (this poll etc), right we shall start again then
I think there is a lot more stuff out (utility wise) for mir2 and has been out longer - put that togther with 1.4 been the only one for so long then people i guess coded a lot more NPC and stuff and probably shared it as well.
A Lot of people trying to run a MIR3 server are baffled sideways with SQL and the more technical stuff is way beyond there knowledge so you end off with more mobs and stuff as these are shared a fair bit.
If you have ever tried to make a map with the EI Editor or add images to the WIL files then you will see that the programs out there are utter crap. The Map editor i could probably knock some maps out with enough patience but the wil editor doe snot do placements as the mir2 one, so you end off with the same stuff on all the servers.
I cant comment on the MIR2 servers (playing wise) as ive never really got into Private servers myself on that side - my view is once you have levelled a char a few times on some servers (mir2 or 3) then that takes out the will to yet again have another bash with the same stuff.
To me - new magic, new mobs, new maps is the main goal of mir3

mir3 hasnt been really attempted to be worked on much in past couple of years, before lomcn it was quite popular i had a lil server used to get on average 15 within first 2 days wasnt bad but i shut down after a week.
