Couldn`t really care less.

But i do believe the server creater should be able to make some money to cover costs.

id rather pay £2-6 per month than have donations,

because:

-its fair
-no1 gains the advantage
-no1 can moan
-shows its more professional

etc etc, not rly a downfall other than... its a private server, and private servers *should* be free

id only ever p2p for a server that had..

-custom files
-very good balance
-looked like it would stay up for look
-good stability
-loads of things to do ingame, new areas/mobs etc etc
-loads of new things coded

etc etc



Wheres the option to not pay at all?

MONEY MONEY MONEY! MONEY!

well thats the point tryin 2 be made atm, no server is gonna be run for free, outta the developers pocket, simple reasons being

-Why should u?
-Why should u put up with all that grief GMs get when ur gainin nothing, just losin liek £150 a month on dedi/ftp etc costs?



end of the day, money pays for better Dedi PCs, better FTPs, better websites, better forums, better everything

id never run a server and put up with all taht grief and shed out £150 a month, thats just insane, i enjoy playin with files etc ye, so id just keep it as offline.

bein a server host, u know how much grief u get, how much work u put in

every1 knows nothing in life is free.

Agree with who ever said

All ur ever after.

Free, hosted on ur own pc.
Priv servers are illegal, dont expect money

even if ur hostin on ur own PC, its still not free

ur still payin for electrical bills, spare parts if the pc breaks, buyin the PC in 1st place with good enuff specs to not make it lag, bandwidth costs, havin to sacrafise downloadin/uploadin
and even then, u still have to pay for website/forum/FTPs

end of the day, if uwant it to be a successfull server, it HAS to be on a dedi

ppl like u, will never understand until u run a successfull server

lifcos a m8 and i aint gonna argue against him, he is a good server creator, and a legend

i was gonna argue about the 'successful' part, btu why should i? i have no need 2. ive achieved everything ive wanted, and done very well for myself, my 1st server has been up 7-8months with a consistant 150-230 user count... only other person thats done than is lapta.

clearly im doin something wrong? ;)

+ soz lapta, but money dont grow on trees lol
even u excepted donations for ur server back in the day, as i remember that guy... wallet or something (know it was a W lol) donated towards u, and u banned me for pkin him and takin his items

i dont wanan argue with u, as that was a long time ago... but u cant go against something uve done in the past.

Any private server (not just Mir) that has pay to play has been shut down. (I highly DONT recommend it!!!)

If anyone here does this there server will be removed from LOMCN.

What he said

and whats wrong with the way WeMade do it
Its free to play Mir2 yet there payment system for items works and is the way it should have been done from the start
They make more money now then they ever did with p2p

EuroMir is not WeMade

You pay money for drugs that give you a "boost" ingame
These drugs can only be paid for while ingame (extra ingame window) for real life cash
everyone has access to the same drugs
Once the drug is used its gone and you have to buy more (if you want to)

This system has been running for over a year on Wemades Mir2 servers and they have not had a problem with it and everyone is happy

Will get a screenshot now and post a pic of it

If i wanted to pay monthly i would play euro

If i wanted to play a donation server, i would ask Daydie to bring back EvilMiR


But i don't wanna play either of those, so wheres the option to play a server without either? If you can't cover the costs, simply don't host a dam server its simple logic, don't expect people to cover your costs

why would u play euro? when its a dead end game, with no staff, no updates, cheats everywhere

so ur sayin if a better version of euro wasnt put online, with laods updates and ****, u wouldnt even pay £2 a month to play?
