Have to agree people are dropping off fast due to lack of content, Sam did say tho new content can be expected towards the end of October, remember this is just a test server and he's not bothered about the playerbase.

Ancient Ruins is official content and only the graphics will be similar. They likely have a bunch more unseen graphical models and maps to bring in though!

It isn't lack of content the reason people are dropping in numbers, at least not only.

Samuel might be a good coder but that's about it,, when it comes to manage the many game aspects he fails badly.

Hoping he releases the server files asap so someone with more time can make a proper go of it.

Little bit disrespectful dont you think? Proper go of it?? TBH I think he's doing not bad on the whole.

I agree if its only a test server stick it in let's test it
You seem to be oblivious to the things currently with bugs that are being tested and fixed. New content has been asked for and this has been replied to many times, it's about time some folks started reading the existing threads and stopped thier bitching and you'd get answers. answers like "NEW CONTENT IS NOT A HIGH PRIORITY"....

Yes he's a one man show atm. Probably a "non test" server is required !?
Sorry, meant to include this in orig post, It saly does seem he is taking on all the load himself it'd be good if a few more could help, but this is how they want to deal with things for now so we'll just keep going as is. I have even asked about taking a branch of the files "as is" so others can post back any code they fix. I like the old SVN method of dealing with files so anyone/select members can view/edit/upload as their permission allowed.

Keep up the good work Sam and don't release the files till almost every bug has been fixed before releasing new features. You are the only person that is working on files and is going to release them to the public at some point, so make sure they are up to scratch without new features first.

Fed up of seeing server files that get dropped and are left with annoying bugs that could have been easily fixed before focusing on new content that has even more bugs.

This is a test server playing on it + reporting is probably the only thing that 90% of the people here(including me) are ever going to do to give something to the mir community instead of take,take, take.

What bugs have been fixed in the last week? in comparison to what has been reported?

I very much doubt this game will ever be totally bug free. It would be a real shame in my opinion if the files were not released in the near future. I respect what Sam has done but he just doesn't seem to have enough time or support to get anywhere fast. Lets not forget when the server opened we was promised 24/7 support, weekly update etc etc. Most of us have been testing the server under false promises.

I would say the majority of bugs have been fixed already it just needs some polishing to finish it off before even thinking about new content. At least then we would have a complete set of files.

if the files was released the bugs / content updates would be much less likely to happen, its a fact! you need only look at the history of this forum, people whine and whine for the files and when they are eventually released either people go off and do their own thing or no one bothers with them.

look at heroes its the same thing there, people whined about no source being available.. the most up to date one was released and look where the files are now.

the truth is unless a main dedicated server like this stays up these files will go nowhere in terms of progression. whats worse is IF these files was released we'd see another 8 clones pop up offering nothing new or some stupid high rate which lasts 2months, and all this split the community even more.. who wants to play a server with 10-60 users? i know i don't.

Ill give sam credit for just putting up with you lot.

People are dwindling of because its a low rate.

If he introduces new content regularly it will very quickly become a MR/HR..... So stop whinging if you want to preserve your low rate, and make do with yearly content updates.

That will only happen if caves with too much exp, items with too much stats etc are introduced. More low rate content is what is needed atm for more variety, just alternative places to go different things to do etc. Lookin forward to seein some quests myself
