In my honest opinion why would else would anyone put themselve through running a Mir server?
People expecting something for free really grind my gears.
As long as the GS does not effect the balance of a server e.g Pay2win items then I really dont get what people complain about.
.
you have a good point but you cant change players mentality so you must adapt on their needs
i removed famepoints on every experience buff and have a small stone in shop, server doesnt make lots of moneys and it fits my needs to maintain the server alive but atleast usercount keep rocking on
in the end its up to the GameMaster if he wants a long term server or not because game shop give any type of advance from gold/exp bonuses and such as Damage bonus and so on that will have effect on lead of server, because we speak about top 5 as always,
when a new players wants to join a server he always look at Ranking and see the top 5 ( class, exp, level ) to make a opinion if its worth to play or not
i dont want to throw **** on a server or make an advert on my server ( anyway mir2-mir3 is diferent ) but recently i had like 5 new players and since im active gm they reached me and asked if you need to pay for the global shout ( !@ ) because they played a mir2 server before and they needed to pay like 1€ for a !@ shout and wich i find it ridiculous because you imediatly see that GameMasters target a special type of crowd who has money to spend on !@
in the end Mir should not be threated as a incoming bussines because that will divide us more than normally, and might **** ur server up faster
