Planning On Making...

[Azura]

Ok hers my plan, I'm planning on making a server that is an extact replica of European Legend of Mir 2 (Apart from spells) exp will be set alittle higher.

I am posting here because I'm not sure that people will think about it, It will have the craft system and other European Mir features. I'm hopeing the drops will be the same to give a good economy.

All Item names will be the same and have same graphics, may add more Items but not 100% sure yet.

It will be hosted 24/7 and will hopefully be up for a couple of years depending on the userbase. It will be hosted on a 3.6ghz Duel Cel, 1024mb Ram and 100mb connection which will be based in the usa.

So would it be worth me creating this server?

(I dont want any noob posts like: "why would I want to play your server when i have a high level character on euro mir")

It all depends on the community to keep it going. if theres one person on at a time to hunt boss's solo with euro stats its gonna be hard + boring. maybe impossible. but if a huge community it would be worth while. you should start a poll to ask who would play / try server.

 

[Shard]

The community won't be big enough for this kind of server to succeed. The majority of people are at P69 and RZ, and will be staying there for the forseeable future I imagine. Good idea, but the community plays a huge part in this server. It'd need a large community to work, say 40-50, and I don't see where that number of players will come from

Ive gotta disagree. I think its a good idea yet I do believe it will not have a high player account unless you add alot more features?

What I advise for a low exp server is to recreate mir completly map wise then it may keep people intrested.

 

[Azura]

Well That depends on how much advertising I do not everything has to be advertised on lomcn :P but i can see where your coming from.

The main aspect I can say the game will have in its favor is the uptime and how long it will be online. Hopefully players seeing that the server has been up long will encourge more people to come on as they feel they havnt got a problem with their characters being deleted because the server is closeding down.

Like I said I will be hosting for acouple of years and at the end of the couple of years if the userbase sucks then I will prob close down but its worth a shot.

Well what I really ment was I will have mir hopefully 100% + more added items thats wont mess up char vs char combat ect nor leveling.

I just wont be adding Ripped stuff from other games as i feel It doesnt have the same effect.

 

[MutantlX]

yeah maybe I was gonna start my own project like that but couldnt find the time now.

good luck anyway

 

[Azura]

Please Note this will NOT be a ledu server and will use non-standard ports. So may not work 100% with Leo's Usercount.

 

[MutantlX]

I hope it goes well i need a good server to play I dont like ragezone or Izar dunno why they just dont feel right

 

[Azura]

A taste of my site design which will contain all information about the server.

 

[Gloop]

This has been tried too many times before it hardly ever works out( exceptions = P69 + RaGEZONE) P69 has its high usercount for being online for 3 odd years or so, RaGEZONE has been online for 6months with a seperate forum that is used alot. Your advertising is going to have to be very good if you want to get user counts like these.

I havn't been in a server staff for about 3 years now and it's gonna be weird if i say this but, im getting to like this server already and i can help you with anything to get this server operational for more then a year. Contact me if you need help with anything. Also i like the fact that some one is creating a kind of copy not really a copy but something like Euro mir i really like that server and i would play it for a long time. But the rates would be slightly higher on your server right? So then it would kind of be a little easier to level and that would help out one of those nooby people that havn't ever liked low rates. Btw i have a level 41 warrior on Euro named DrakoxXx probably gone by now if there was a wipe or anything. So yeah, pm or something if you ever need help with the server or server staff / server team.

Peace OuT

P.S. I am really good at the bugs and item editting(adding items, i kno lots of people can do this lol but im a real professional at it. Hmm what else oh yeah i am kinda good at scripting.

About the thing that dude at the very to said about not feeling right in those server i got that same feeling lol!

 

[Pebble]

If it has all Euro stuff and more (for higher levels) and higher exp (say level 40 in 3-5 days), I'd most likely play.

well, if it is 4x exp you can get 40 in a week if you know how to play.

 

[Azura]

Well I can see what your saying about the usercount but to be honest I will create the server and up it online. It would only cost £100 - £200 which I wont really notice that much.

The Server will be paid automaticly by direct debit and I allways got the money in my account, so server will be up for at least 3 years before I take it down. (Only take it down if usercount is constantly 0).

The thing with P69 + Ragezone is:

Ragezone had a massive userbase before the server even opened so that worked to dans favor.

P69, I'm sure there was a time when P69 wasnt so popular. Its the lenth of time that the server has been up that makes players feel comfortable that their characters wont get deleted after a week - month of playing.

I don't usually like having a team as i feel it confuses things, but If I get server done before friday which I might/Might not I will need a temp host.

And I'm sorry if this idea has already been thought of. I'm pritty sure that don't make me have to stop or add you to the team. So please no pm's like this one.

 

[Azura]

Tho I will be looking for a couple of people to help me manage the forums.

And am thinking of buying more servers to host a WoW, Lineage2 and RO servers.

 

[Jamie]

hey dude a simple no would of been nice.

you dont need to make an example out of every one.

 

[Azura]

I do when the pm is as sad as that one. You dont want to feel stupid don't pm me with Sh!!t like that. no offence.

 

[Jamie]

What was wrong with the pm ?.
i have been working on a server for a few weeks. You idea is almost exactly the same as mine, except for 1 or 2 things that would make a hell of a difference and could of helped you out. i was only suggesting maybe we could of join up. i have never liked the idea of a "team" but when someone has the same idea of what i have had it seems fitting to ask them.

Ya sorry mate, I am being abit harsh, just I started working nightshift last week and I'm allways dekcuf

I'll tell you what I'll add you and see what you have to say .

Also if anyone who was thinking of laying the server once its complete, please feel free to post some of your suggestions on what you would like to see in the game. It is your server after all

 

[MutantlX]

Probally a long shot but on most servers you got to find everything out your self. Id imagine it wont be to hard if its european like.

But what I suggest is a small guide to get people started including co-ords for new maps.

Also a one client download none of this patching with 50 downloads. Remeber not many people are on dial up so if they want to play it they will wait for it to download.


Just a few things i think some servers are missing...
