It's at the same pace as it was a few years ago and it will continue as it is for the next few i'm sure of that. (If you added all the usercounts from all servers it would make a n1 server!)
@koni im sure your brother or relative was working on updating that server not so long ago ? glad to see old comers still popping back
ull never add all the user counts together, because no1 wants to play the same server.. everyone has different opinions and views on mir, some like high rate, some like low rate for example. its IMPOSSIBLE to please everyone to have just one server.
Mir doesnt have any where near as many players as it did say ... 3-4 years ago... theres still a user base here, but its diminished over the years, and will continue to do so.
Will mir ever die? its hard to say, probably not as long as theres always someone like me, lapta, other various dedicated people around to keep doing it.. and im sure some1 will take over after us... but u never know.
When the money drys up and no1 wants to donate towards supporting servers thats when it will eventually die tho.
