Private servers are also a problem, as the server code has been leaked onto the internet on more than one occasion.

someone should tell em the code was never released only the builds

 

[Azura]

RaGEZONE, founded and run by user "MentaL" (Dan, currently residing in Wales) took advantage of the leaked files for The Legend of Mir II. They managed to get the game working on their systems, running their own servers, and became the first Open "Private" server. (Previous Servers were all closed and invite-only)

didnt know that was true =/

 

[Value]

RageZONE at this time is the largest European Private Server

No it is no Project69 still have more players then RaGEZONE day and night.
if i rember rite RaGEZONE is going down the drain (so i was told)

Any way the person who did that is very crafty :P.

Exactly. There only main error i could really spot in that report was where thy have said RZ is bigger than P69 -_-Don't get me wrong, RZ is a popular server, but P69 has the larger community.

Anyway, i also found that report rather interesting. I think that some's up the questions which are asked about how the files were obtained etc.

Well as ive been told the lag is very bad on that server now also it aint hosted in germany :S well that is what i have been told i dont want to cause arguments , also something to do with all lag outs.

Well its eather them up there or there is a better server then RaGEZONE.

im my way of saying RaGEZONE wasent fun at all just boring (for me maby alot of you think it is fun but every one has there own thoughts to things)

i am not disrespecting RaGEZONE in anyway just repeating what i have heard.

Same as most of the internet tbh, everywhere gets most of its info from other places... also makes me wonder why people call them "Private" server files, they aint really "Private"

 

[Pebble]

Also found this funny:

After obtaining the files, Daniel aka MentaL had decided to run his own public server for Legend of Mir dispite the possability of any lawsuit or issues between himself and the Game-Network company. The server became synonymous with Legend of Mir players to this day and after five years online still currently runs the largest Legend of Mir server in existance.

 

[crispwarez]

lmao
5 years online my ass

is this the 5th or 6th ragezone?

 

[Value]

RaGEZONE as far as i no has had 7 mir2 servers and about 4 mir3 server :S

You think Dan might of wrote that lol ??.

/Value

 

[DarkXXX]

Dan did write that about Ragezone lol, on wikipedia you can add whatever you like to the content. These aren't official answers lol.

 

[NickAKAVexus]

I read that last night via rz link, I thought it was kind of funny obviously he wrote it who else would take the time to praise ragezone but who honestly who cares? It is just text.

Oh noes its lies I tell you!:P

 

[DeathWish]

Sinse then Dataforce has remained in control, assisted by various other

There's loads of spelling mistakes in the article -_- But yes you are smart.

"Project69 at this time (at any time infact) is the largest European Private Server, hosted in LONDON. Followed DISTANTLY by RageZONE."

Sorted a few typos

 

[UniTY]

Hmm. Pretty accurate about the past.

At least, the more known parts.

"Project69 at this time (at any time infact) is the largest European Private Server, hosted in LONDON. Followed DISTANTLY by RageZONE."

Actually Scorp i think that Dan stop it being hosted in London due to lagg, and moved back to the other server that he has =)

As Eric said that's a pretty accurate description of what happened, i wonder who actually wrote it.

[crispwarez]

some muppet that has to do all he can to raise his player count
