You don't seem to be treating this as a bug, or at least an issue that needs correcting. People absolutely abuse multi-clienting and completely take the piss.

Yeah saw this today... Treating this as a priority now, I didn't mind 3/4 miners logged in, but 14.

We are in discussion as to how to fix this problem:

Limit client logins?
Stop mining on focus?

I think having 2 x clients running is fine but shouldn't be able to have more than that, this way i can still transfer loot to a store char etc.

700k on screen there with the 50k start gold ( which is back ), that alone is enough reason to put a stop to this nvm the amount of gold each char will make by selling trash ores, and good ores...

This is basically what I think too. 2 clients at the most. If you can limit it that way, that's fine. Otherwise freezing clients that aren't in focus is the other best option.

Not to mention it completely distorts your true user count.

Made me laugh when i saw this i took a screen shot too, was gona make a post but u beat me to it ^_^. the guy must be getting loads. i think 2/3 miners are reasonable, 14 just taking the piss... explains why there some people with +5 kits running around, although i dno how u can gem +5 on an item let alone all their kit.

My kit was a result 1 week straight of mining on 1 miner actually, the rates were higher back then though, can't speak for anyone else.

Wow...That's gotta be one of the most ridiculous things I've seen since I started Mir years ago.

I've heard of taking advantage, but this simply takes the piss. This **** looks like Slave labour. And it just goes to show how people like this don't care about this game nor its community, otherwise why would anybody do anything like this?

I hope this is fixed soon otherwise as Nemo said, this economy will be ruined and down the toilet before this server has even got started.

i made a post about this 3-4? days back..... i said ppl were mining 5+++ charas.

Yes, I've also told Milo and Samuel before this too. But each time people have said to them, they didn't seem to realise it was quite to this extent, which is why I decided to post this.

Not hard to get to 35 wouldn't solve much I think 3-4 is fine as 2 miners 1 stall and your main chara would work well or limit to 2 clients and increase the rates slightly. The reason people have so many is due to how log it takes to get one piece of ore now.

Kind of aggree with above poster, you go into the mines and the only time you will find someones main char mining is because the are guarding all their noobs. The rates being lowered means that mining is now only really worthwhile for the people with machines that can handle 5 or so clients open. I want to mine and make DC gems, but my laptop cant hardly handle one client, so that part of the game is not really worthwhile for me.

Yes, not hard to get, but enough to consider a character as real. If you bring 14 characters to 35... use them to dig, ok you are eligible! ;)

To do this you need a year and a half ... and your main character is level one, perhaps it is not so easy to do...

What about integrating the mir.dat into the Launcher. But this will only allow you open 1 client so make a option to be able to open 2 clients, because if you leave the mir2.dat open, you can always work away around it to open as many clients as you wish.

A lot of hassle just to fix mining but i have to agree with above post for a quick solution is too make a pickaxe to lvl30 or something, anyone willing to level 14 characters to level 30 has something wrong.

It has to be a combination of things, picks usable from higher level together with other things.
Also I started with 10k gold I think but then I read here its 50k - pple will try to rape the system if you provide any such loophole like here making hundreds of chars in turn to make gold that way. Their game is not to play mir but to F it up.
