there must be some conflict of interest here, with holy (echo) running the rz mir server, and having the source code, and more than a rumour about an rz 2.3 high rate on the horizon. will that not be supported by you?

hey, but lets not bite the hand that feeds us

Could take you 1-3 days to put it all into 2.3
Its the bugs that you may end up with that take a little longer but its not all that hard to do honestly.

so euro is high rate?,,,,,

VirUs

i was wondering that aswell Akuma ,
I think Bon it makes no difference what level you are its the other crap like high ext rates etc that is in question.
basically ur saying that the server i play is high rate because some players are level 50 even tho the exp is x3 of euro.

I'm fine with transfering my server files to 2.3, just my characters / items on them and their accounts that i can't.

im bein sarcastic takin the piss outta TD, how can u not see that lol.

i dont know the exact details but i'd say anything over 10x to be high rate (10x is at the edge of med rate already)
obviously it all depends on the rest of the server
i could make a 5x server where ppl go from lvl 1 to 50 in 5 mins (which would be crap aswell)
i thought it was fairly obvious i was jokin lol

No offence but by doing this you are trying to encourage mir servers to go the way you like them.
I dont see this as a fair thing to do at all. People should be able to just create a server and not base it on the fact it has to suit you if they want the newer updates.

Just my opinion on this matter.

totaly agree with this, majority of people like to play higher rate servers, their more fun and do get good numbers. the fact that you want to only supply low exp rate servers with updates is stupid, as youve said TD your playing soma lately so do you need everyones server to suit you?

Aggree with them.

@TD,

I dont think people will play Low rate server's because of some updates the reson servers like p69 & Revange have big user counts is because people dont what to take a day or week for one level they like Med lvl servers Low rate server's will never get the user counts that Revange & P69 get because whats the point? If people want low rate they will go to euro.

2-10 X Exp = Low-Rate

10-30 X Exp = Med-Rate

30-50 X Exp = Hi-Rate

Thats what i think any way.


x Exp alone is not what determines low,med or high rate servers
thats just 1 factor in the equation, other factors are exp required per level, mob strength, weapon/item stats, ect.

in fact you could have a mixed rate server
eg. first 75 levels high rate, next 50 levels med rate, rest low rate or any combination thereof, having just one set exp rate

well as you all might have noticed i've been inactive lately (been playing soma tbh)
i've been wondering on how to proceed in the future
it's becoming obvious that atm the only servers that are really getting 50+ users are high exp ones

now as you prob all know i dont like those and never will
this is my proposal:
i dont wanna be working on mir full time atm but i'm considering to do an update every month or 2 (real update not small quickfixes)
......
Lo m8 nice 2 see you r are alive its been a while I saw this thread under your nick on msn and thought I'd check it out. Dunno if u remember me though as its been a long time.

going back to your post I think that would be a great idea I stoped playing MIR a long time ago due to the fact that I got tired of running a Mir server with some m8 and then again of the high exp on other servers. I never stoped loving the game though.

I say go for it help the lower exp server even though for me x10 exp souds alot cos back in the days there was servers with 1x ,2x, 5x and some at 10-20x but now it seems that has changed lol. 50x OMG :) .

And if ppl dont like what you are trying to do, let them try and continue dev. and add more stuff them selfs.

Right this is what i don't understand about this Low Rate -vs- High Rate thing:

As long as the server is balanced, it doesn't actually matter. For example if you get to say Level 300 on a high rate server you should be able to kill most bosses/get the best kit etc. That’s the same for Low Rate servers just at Level 60 instead.

People come up with the excuse they don't like Low Rate server because it feels to much like a "grind fest"; it's exactly the same as a decent high rate server, you still have to put in the work you just get to see the level up glow and the "Congratulations on Level Up" message a bit more often with a high rate server. But at the end of the day it's exactly the same because instead of one level between you and your nearest rival, it's about 3-5 (which is probably the equivalent to one level on a low).

I think high rate servers are for people that like to look at big numbers and low rate servers are for people that like the "mir feel" to their game. I personally enjoy low rate servers more, but as I’ve said above, they are essentially the same thing and i can see why people could enjoy high rate.

Well Dookie,
Your right in a way but if u keep the exp low ppl will have time to enjoy the new items they could just put on. But more importaint all pservers do not have a large team working for new updates like gfx(items/spells/maps etc) which means players will catch up with the "dev" of the server rather sooner then later. yea sure u could just do some minor quich changes to the db and add a "new" wooden stick with MC 50-200 but thats just boring (personal opinion) to be ace and look like a noob. same goes for mobs sure u can make super chickens with 1000000 hp and 255 dc dmg or even with zumaT skills etc. ( just a quick change to the db) but at the end of the day u r still fighting a damn pathetic chicken with special skills and u look like a noob.

my opinion is private hr servers do not evolve in the pace as the players and thats why I think they suck.

From the days I ran a mir3 server I only had 1x that way I had time to have updates rdy long before ppl started to scream for them :D

From this I think I made it very clear I hate hr server :P

Basicly what will happen is High rates servers are not going to move anywhere from now on unless they develop there own source or find someone else to spoon off (the chinese)...

TD is helping LR servers become uniquie and enjoyable... high rate servers will eventually die due to repetition...
