Legend of Mir

New files look amazing, raid groups etc. This gone b' good.

One thing I love, because it was such a small community I still get people in every MMO asking if I was the same one from back in the Mir days, kind of nice.

The lack of community in mmo's these days is definitely a big part of why they don't feel like Mir days. If someone got a rare weapon/armour everyone knew about it, all the regulars know each other and eventually I could look around town and recognise players just from what gear they used. Real rivalries and friendships formed, not just pretend ones, and you had to fight for the best bosses. MMOs now you're just another drone in the background, doing your quests, collecting your points... and ultimately no one cares. This is bound to happen though, as Mir in the Uk/EU had a relatively small population, and modern big MMOs get 1000s per server. I fear games like Mir were a special freak occurence where it was new yet a small community, and likely never to occur again.
 
This thread makes me weep for my youth. Recalling the 36hr stints in BugCave slowly grinding my way up to level 40, only for them to finally bring us the patch that included the Prajna caves and the much higher EXP mobs therein. I remember queuing up to solo WoomaTaurus with my faithful level 7 Shinsu in tow. The forums were pretty good, though I was mocked for my use of the Red Moon Sword despite repeated attempts to explain that the "reversed" stats were excellent as they increased the minimum damage dealt significantly. I've not found another MMO that holds my attention anywhere near as strongly as Mir2 did.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and list to Enema of the State by Blink-182 to complete this nostalgia assault course.

Where can I see all this new stuff? I played a long time ago and fancy some serious nostalgia
 
With so many loyal fans I'm surprised no ones picked up the torch in making a new one, maybe they fear the korean mafia.

All you'd have to do is keep the same isometric view, same themes, mechanics... and just update the graphics, add new maps etc. Similiar to how modern games use a 3d rendered isometric view (eg D3), you could even keep the "one person per square" mechanic.

I'm no game maker but I see indie/kickstarter games that achieve superb isometric styles all the time, and it's not like mir ever had quests/voice acting/deep dungeon mechanics that takes time/money.

Maybe I'm just wearing my nostalgia head but I think it'd be awesome. It used to worry me when people wanted a "3d mir" but it'd destroy what it was, it's the simple things like blocking each other on bosses etc that made it unique.
 
God the amount of all nighters on mir 2 dragon server i had a few characters a warrior called swordblade and a mage called mystifiey played it from beta for a few years too haha no other mmo compares with there community there and the guilds!
 
i played this game from beta and have many fond memories. Loved reading people's stories in this thread, brought back many more!

Mir is now exactly what it is; a legend. Something we can tell people about but we can't exactly show to them what it meant back in those days. Exciting times I remember.
 
I was a mir2 beta player when I was a kid. Play had a lvl 32 warr IIRC used to be in Jedi_knights on mir2 (Smeg2's lot)

Most recent Mir I played was the official mir3 server up until it folded as Locomotive 45+ warr with one of those MASSIVE looking dragon sword things - GreatBlade I think it was called) was in Vec's guild (I forget the name now)

IIRC Geo start a mir3 server up its quite popular as far as I can tell. Never played it though, might stick it on for a giggle!

The JMace is still to this day my fav weap I have ever seen and definatly the best weap I've ever heard! I always remember PvP you'd see/hear the mace swing then half a sec later your toon would take the hit lol mashing 1 for pots! I liked mir3 PvP better as if you had your timings down you could stack slaying, fsword, dblade then fullmoon doing monster damage usually 1hitting wiz!

Edit: I played with a tao way back when called Triggy. Wonder if he's in here!?
Tzy was my pocket tao in mir3!
