Why Mir3 is dieing out

[Vyse]

I remeber the days when mir server use to be so full of players that they crashed but now in the last few years the players have slowly but surely left mir3and gone on to play diffrent mmorpgs

the main reason's for this is simple the servers that come out now very rearly balance out in everyway

Grouping - or lack of it whats the point of a server where grouping is not needed
Drops - players always want the best stuff stright away but ive found that its better to have to work for your kits
Refineing - alot of players dont even use this now why whould they when the stats on wepons are stupidly high on most servers
Exp - ok i agree to a point in being more than the real thing but no server should be higher than 32x
items - whats the point of the old items in the server when you level so fast
elements -no one uses these

these are the main reasons why alot of players stoped playing i hope that someone reads this and trys to make a server that will go the distance

feel free to post your thoghts on the matter

I can tell you why no-one uses elements, because hardly any server owners bother to set elements on mons they make lol. It's down to lazy server owners that people don't use this very often.

I think a lot of the cause is that we really don't have access to the source to bring mir3 upto date with official server. Ok there is still a lot we can do with 3.55 and kings, but even that is still limited a lot. If some day we manage to get hold of some good source and people collaborate to bring some good workable files to the community, the i think this would revive the mir3 community a lot.

Too many lackluster servers killed Mir 3.

It's entirely down to the hosts that no one plays Mir 3 anymore.

agreed exodus, hosts make server 1week or 1month, collect donations and run off 2 neva update agn or 2 close servr

There's quite a few mir 3 servers that have been going a lot longer than any mir 2 servers... I think it's probably more a files/source issue

 

[Zordon]

I have to disagree exsodius. It's not completely down to hosts that mir 3 is slowly dying. A lot of it is to do with the players, most want high rates, which die out fairly quickly. Also, there are a lot of players in the community who think its fun to **** around with peoples servers effectively stopping them from hosting, which all in all is pretty crap as people want good servers yet a few individuals spoil this from to time. Then again, there are a lot of hosts that are out to make money, which again is putting players off as no-one wants to invest time in a server that only lasts a few weeks/months just to close once the host is either bored or made what money they can from it. To put it bluntly, hosts and players alike need to give more commitment to mir3, hosts being more dedicated to keeping servers up as long as possible and by putting in as much content as possible, and players need to give decent feedback to hosts and those who deliberately attack servers need to grow up.

Mir3 is 'Dying' because players want things too easy, Fast easy servers don't and won't ever last long.

Lower rate servers have been around for years, maybe its down to the players to change their frame of mind on the stupid exp issue.
A low rate server is no different to a high rate sevrer you still level the same as other players.

People should stop blaming hosts.

Mir3 sucks always has and always will (in my opinion) Mir2 is alot better. (again imo)

Everyone has their own opinions, to me Mir3 has/does lack the PvP feel as Mir2 use to (yeah use to, 1.4 was epic).

I try and stay away from Mir now as there's far too many people doing it for the money where's back in the day it was all for FUN and not income.

End of the day it's donations that killed Mir off (yet again my own opinion) it's no fun now.

Mir 3 from the private server perspective is dying, one reason being the lack of updated server files. This isn't our fault in general, but those who code the files and the cost they put on them. However as Omega has pointed out, with many servers that are opened players do expect too much from the hosts and when things don't go the way they want, then they do tend to go off and start giving grief. You also have hosts, who in my opinion shouldn't be hosts at all and should never be allowed near the server files.

Donation doesn't kill off servers, as official server is a donation server and still has a high user count. So the argument of it being due to donation servers is actually a wrong thing to be saying. As for also stating that Mir2 is far better than Mir3, that’s just an opinion. If Mir3 had the same attention to details with coding the files as what Mir2 does have, then Mir3 would overrule Mir2 in an instant.

 

[Myth]

i have to agree with exsodius... servers come up, collect donations ( not all ), but are definatly down with in 1 month... when that happens over and over, players are bound to get a sod this attitude... and find something more stable to play where the work they have put into the game is worth its time etc. its also the same hosts who are doing it, can name about 3-4 hosts who have had numerous servers up in about 3 years lasting 1 month(max) at a time... its the reason has to why i have stopped bothering has im sure its the same for the majority... i find it hard to trust a new server for these reasons...

has for the players being the issue... i cant think of many reasons has to why this is a main reason has to why mir3 is dieing... maybe asking for server exp being to high, i agree that no server should be over x32 exp and players should have to grind out for any type of result... @ gigabit donations unbalances a server has it gives certain players a big advantage, yes the official does have donations and has a user count... but if it was the way it was before were ppl paid so much per month the user count would be ALOT higher...

alot of hosts promise to much and deliver next to nothing which has been the case over the past 6 months... amount of times ive seen a server date being issued and yet constant delays... yet to this date are still to come live... fair enough real life issues, but again why make a server if u dont have the time to put in to the server to begin with? if hosts(some) actually stuck to what they say, worked that little bit harder and stuck to what they say... user counts would slightly increase... but maybe the damage has allready been done!!

ya agree iwth myth, and on 1 mir2 server the bug issue was stacking xp official is doing same thing 7days extra+ additional xp 30min 1hour 2-3 hours thousand go in it. On other hand myth if it was p2p not every1 wud be able to play all the time due to set paypemt. Since i started playing mir the pound gone up alot UK honors gbps not usa dollars, euros gpbs is 1 of the highest in the world think i played 2 servers in euros, 3 in usa.Techknowledgy side you have all the dosrs how many in community can handle dosr without changing ip. And yes some players need ip banned and blacklisted, but game ownweers need to stepup, and bann the asres, what happen with a universal bann system. I didnt ever find this site or fighure out till 09 i been playing since 98-99 and alot of users have become members tired of pservers do same **** over n over, or wiping over n over if something dont change on RNDPRO mir3 holley ima not retire but quit cba, and owbner taking no responsibilty, but has all the rights eula agreement, but GMs doing all the work.. And im always seeing on msn pm me if you know a good dedi, i dont have 500 dollars atm to build the right pc, and get business line wich would be over T1 in and out all the way, heck cable here just went to 55mgbts if pcs dont have Sata or higher , and a T1 line alot gets lost. and if you make a team great developer who can deal with dosrs, and great dedi host can LOMCN pull the usercount........ no bulkl ****t
