His offer to provide financial aid, rather than pay people to support him simply means he has no desire to run a server, and has more of a desire to play it.
If that's the case, he certainly would be better off providing financial aid, than taking the lead of creating one himself as there is nothing worse than a server owner who can't be arsed.
Especially considering the Zircon files as standard have completely screwed balance, bad functions (Cube rolls/item crafting/Banyo island etc), and the dreaded Sin...certainly not a task for someone who doesn't want to run a server.
Also no one has any interest in a Zircon clone...in case you missed it...one was up for a while, which is now gone and had 0 players for the last month or more. Olymp and ZenX are close to their original, but for obvious reasons are vastly different. Olymp would probably be doing a lot better had they not tarnished their reputation before the gates even opened lol. But for all intense and purposes between these 2 servers, you already have Mir3 original servers to choose from, which have a player base...why would people want a 3rd?
