Is Mir about to Die?

[mir2pion]

Things dying process starts with roots. Mir client roots are still good but one of its side roots pretty well died off, the mapping root.

Not only those who kept it alive left or stopped working on maps but even servers don't give much any love to maps. More and more we are given mir3 substitute maps as starting out maps on mir2 serves and many make do with just a SZ area and teleport to caves directly.

And when somebody does work with maps and needs some help, it turns up they still use the original chinese version of the editor. To keep spirits up, I open the old forum mapping threads, how sad LOL

I have faith Mir 2 will re-emerge, a 2 year+ server called "Chronicle's of Valk's Marble's" Truth. add in sapphire somewhere.
fewer and fewer Euro players. Lots who think USA and Chrons is the way it should be.

I already said echoing someone else that everyones in it to make money the Gms the owners the players.
I humbly suggest that Ben with his emphasis on PK and no sanctions on Pk and pk reduction gameshops items are a factor
This constant pk puts a lot of potential players off. These are the "social players" who would contribute monthly if they werent constantly attacked. They fight for bosses and a good group fight but 1v1 in a cave for no reason isnt as fun to them.
Fighting for a boss is not same as attacking someone for being on same screen hoping for an item drop to sell.
Everyone expects to solo the bosses. another factor. Only happened on euro when everyone had outlevelled the content.
Bosses just take longer to kill, not more difficult, few tactics/prep needed.


and will one of u fix those pick up pets so that someone rt ing near me cant pick up my loot cos my own pet is on other side lure. The character cannot p[ick up for 2 or 3 mins so why can the pet?

If you don’t want Mir to die, I would recommend donating to this LOMCN community, and to the next server you play.

If everyone were to do donate the price of a Costa coffee just once, it would go a long way.

Admins just need to make it safe and easy to accept payment.

Many ( all ) servers accept donations - they all still die out eventually due to player issues - GMs could create new caves every week and new items new spellls and it still wouldn’t be enough to keep player base happy for a long period of time

I personally don’t think Mir has died, people tastes have changed over the years. New projects emerge and disappear. People like myself dip in and out, more down to work commitments and family life, not been active for last couple weeks due to being on holiday in the Philippines. Like many others projects are currently being worked on, I am currently working on a Achievement, Progress feature for Crystal still long way from anything 100% but my inspiration has been Akra and Jamie.

Majority of these servers don’t own their own maps, it’s all purchased from the Chinese sites, we have a good editor but it takes time to make a perfecto map and server owners have more on their hands than just making maps unfortunately
