I think coming on to forums just to have a dig at a server is petty. The server is decent to be fair. He works hard, and the user count fluctuates because he updates often.
Yes he uses mining as an incentive to boost the user-count, So? If it makes more people play, Win-Win.
Isnt the main goal for mir to stay alive?
He works hard, updates well and is a good responder (if what i say is important)
Everyone is always so criticle today, but reality is, hes still getting good numbers on a 20 year old game, regardless if its slightly boosted by some miners. I logged on tonight at 10:30pm and was pleased to see MASS pk in town. Dont think thats the sign of a quiet server.
Good server, good server owner. My opinions anyway
I mean you've fallen for the incentive trap then, and sadly that's how you lose in the world of being gaslit and deceived.
If you believe what you believe that is by all means, and I've seen servers which don't need to try and rob their players through such means and have held incredibly vast legitimate numbers from the start to the finish being payed hugely in GG outcomes, in which case this server probably hasn't seen more than £300, where as I've known the last 3 big servers to earn easily over £500, £1000, £2000+.
And yes Mir is still alive, people have swarmed to Mir 2 this year around, some having chosen to deceive their players e.g (guinea pigs) this year around in-order to get them to fall into false advertising & incentive traps. So in our worlds of morals we're completely on two different ends of the sticks.
I don't believe in scamming your players, gaslighting them, deceiving them what so ever, nor taking LOMCN as a joke and end up taking rewards which weren't actually deserved, it's a massive **** You to everybody involved.
I'm glad he donated out of his own guilt, considering you're supposed to advertise via here and other sources which help gain your player-count upon a true representation of how your server should be advertised. Giving and taking goes two ways, not just one way and oh here have this money I should've supported you guys for in return for you supporting me.
Edit; I'd also like to point out more of your below average logic, if people were allowed to change playercount "because isn't the main goal of mir to be alive?". Then nobody would actually have any insider information which server tracking forums can provide to you, you're basically saying we should be keeping Mir alive so let's all swing our player counts to 200 each, don't be silly, Mir isn't dying, we're doing great, guess what winter is about to hit, not sure if you know what happens when winter sets in or not.
Strange how you think, I've also had far more play-time on the server myself, experience, know the guilds inside out, and the player themselves, the guildies you saw fighting outside SZ were HC and DC messing around nothing new.
Try and gain an actual understanding of a server which has traps which have been around for years now before you try defending them sounding ridiculous when other people are on the forum for the last 3 months have been mentioning what I have put together, and proved to be so truthfully and rightfully so, in many different aspects of evidence. I'm glad their are those who are agreeing with you because it really does show people who won't push forward for the right cause.
The fact you cannot see from those charts and read actual information from the most basic methods I could've possibly of put together for people who have a very basic understanding, explains a lot, anyways again- it's time wasting for me to even reply to you again when we're on completely two different pages, I have a **** ton of evidence, research, background time spent on the actual server longer than yourself, for you to type away on the forums defending someone who quite frankly if you haven't noticed, doesn't make you look any better.
