New server files.

**lapta** · 23-01-12

So its been a few years, we tried to convert to the new server once before and failed lol, so wat is all the hype over?

Well here are some of the new feautres.

Of course the higher res, making the game look a hell of a lot better.

The new 4th class. Is it balance? Of course it isn't, but we will be working on getting all 4 classes blanced with your help.

New login system. This is one of the biggest updates to mir. The login system is just not a login screen, its the auto patcher, anti cheat program, and account managerment system.
The auto patcher will automatically check for updates each time you try and log in to mir, so no more missing out updates.
The anti cheat program will check that there are no other programs running that will effect mir, or the amount data a player can send to the server, and manage the speed of the exe, stopping people "tweaking" their PC to seem faster in game.
Account management is a great feautre, not only can you make an account, but you can do password requests and manage IP addresses that access your account. The IP management also has an automatic feature which montiors your IP address and stop people logging on to your account who don't have the your IP address. Of course you are able to add peoples IP addresses to your account for account sharing, which will void all support for your account :P. The IP management system is in place to reduce account hacking and account sharing.
All new accounts need to be verfied via email before you can access them, this ensures that your email address is correct for support reasons, and also means that i can block email addresses and email domains (like @hotmail.ru) which in turn will reduce the amount of accounts in game, and stop people making character to spam or gerif with.

Most of you would of seen most of the features on other servers such as gamepot or 3/4 heros, but i will give a quick run down of them.

New quest system, showing your quest progress on each quest.
New spells.
Mounts (tigers) which let you move around mir quicker.
New monsters attacks.
Bigger belt (10 solts now)
Bigger bag (twice the size)
Bigger storage.
Cross storage - Access storage of all your character from any character.
(will add more when i think of them)

Things you have seen on other servers, which you won't see on this server.
Fishing - WILL NEVER BE ADDED!!
Assassin class run
Double weapons for assassins.
The name assassin, we call them ninja's on mir revenge.

Oh and one other thing, that will hopefully be ready when we go live.
Our social networking site. Very much like facebook (mainly cus its based on program called social networking 4) it will be facebook for mir. You will be able to send/recive emails to people in game, post screen shots dirctly from mir to your page, buy/sell items, share your stat and many other things. One of, if not the main feature will be placing ads on your page. You will be able to place ads on your page to genarate GG. This system will hopefully get people advertsing their own page to earn GG.

TBH i can't think of anything else right now, but will answer any questions.

Very nice, i remember mounts on DaoC. Qs will mounts be impervious to guards, and will they act as pets.....attacking and helping,
will they cost much to hire, will... as in Daoc, there be a place in each province to hire them.

New spells, what new spells, are they for Ninjas?

Finally... sad about no fishing.... was quite a skill and fun lol.

All in all excellent.

Once you have got a mount, from wherever you will be able to get them from, you press 'M' to mount and dismount. You will be able to attack on the tiger, but I don't believe you can use spells.

Things like spell adjustments and NPCs and all the petty stuff in-game will be a work in progress for the foreseeable future as far as I know, the things that Lapta and his coders have been working on are the bugs and problems that came with designing brand new mir server files from scratch.

There is a lot more that can be done in game using these files, to my knowledge it is a near endless amount of things that can be updated, changed, added and fixed. Like all those annoying bugs to do with high stats affecting certain spells like Curse, and the EXP tokens not staying in your bag even if you click 'No'.

I can't wait for these files to be up and running and to see all of the new coding features mentioned by Lapta in the first post! These files are one of the main reasons that I started playing the server again in 2010 as I speak to Jamie on MSN about them all the time and it's very exciting

It's Mir for the 21st century!
