I know for a fact That Milo does not plan on wiping the server (and afaik the team feels the same)
There are plans in place to expand the server but that is down the line, the main objective at the moment is to find and fix bugs and balance the server
I think what people need to remember is that Mir is 10+ years old, everyone who plays knows what to do, where to level, what and how to kill most bosses etc etc
also the server is 8x exp to what euro was, so people got to lvl 40 8x faster
Back in the days of euro a lot of people leveled solo at 1x exp, due to that fact that we all have being playing mir for so long we know how to level and how to level fast using groups and guilds, IMO this is the reason plays are 40+ so fast
The point I am trying to make is that the server is still very young, the server team know this and they know what its like for players on the server, there are plans to expand but bug fixing is the main plan at the moment
