I just spent a while chatting with John Tierney from Game Network. He first explained that it will take a while to get all the information I requested a few days ago, and spent about 10-20 minutes chatting with me about the strengths and weaknesses of the game. I have advised him to read the official forums for specifics on everything, and the lack of support the official site is receiving as compared to the unofficial but officially supported Italian site (we pay money for them to support the official site, not the unofficial site ... and I stated THAT quite clearly). I have highlighted the limitations being found by the higher levels as one of its main flaws, and the simplicity and division of mob level between areas as strengths of the game (alongside it being 2D ).

I have highlighted server-side lag as not meeting the "PRIOR to problems" upgrade statements made in the FAQs, and have highlighted hacking as the biggest problem at the moment (including a couple of basic suggestions that would limit the ease of hacking the system).

I highlighted the free download model as a plus point, and the concept of continuous updates as being a major plus ... but that they need to arrive, and we need to be kept informed as to what is happening.

Of course I mentioned the mix of peoples and ages, and the sense of community as the biggest strength.

I gather that my twin brother ("Eloquence" in game and on the forum) also received a phone call and he should also be posting a topic about his chat with John.

I have been informed that the situation with the GMs is being investigated. I mentioned that often we feel there is a lack of GM presence, especially if we do not speak Italian (not to mention any specific names but we all know who this means). He sounded definite that this was under investigation so hopefully this will be improving in the near future.

I can't detail all the specifics of the phone call (****e memory), but I was asked many questions about the game and gave many answers ... and tried to express the general feelings expressed on the forums alongside my own opinions. I have been informed that some of my points that I had emailed him about have been forwarded to the relevant people and that he is trying to get feedback from the staff with regards to my many queries. I will keep you appraised of any further developments as I get them, and add to this topic if I remember any other important details.

For now though folks ... keep playing and enjoying Mir ... they are starting to listen and hopefully actions will happen as a consequence.

He's a direct employee of Game Network and has been talking with the development staff. His interest is from the fact that he is Director of Broadcasting and so wants to know what holds Mir back, and what strengths there are to highlight. The show is nothing without the game so he has a very entangled interest in ensuring that people are happy with the game and so is helping by liasing directly with staff that I don't have access to.

I would prefer to be able to contact the Mir staff directly, but having someone from Game Network phone a couple of us to discuss it is definitely a positive sign.

LouD is good for being online

Ok, u had a phone conversation, things are moving forward, or so the GN dude said, but do we all have to do the same thing as Glavier and LouD and phone them etc, Remember LouD all u got was a few promises and a MOD rank, which shut u up and ur happy.(nothin personal) What about all the other mir dedicated players. im on the forum enough to find out that ****ty things like a rewind occured and i and friends lost a lot of good stuff. nothin good l8ly!

We should have a big rumble 1 night in contest room, it would be a laugh!!

ok loud is on everyday, and he never rejects whispers (ok yesterday he had to due to the spawning by gms and lots of complaints, the poor guy needed a breather lol and thats understandable, also he had fun to lure zt to pk camp and other places lol)

he is always polite, telling u if he is busy or not and if he can talk to u at the moment etc...

he will listen and try to help, i say try to because some things u ask r way beyond his capabilities (ie spawn stuff, give back items, sort trade problems out)

but he reads the forums, comments, plays an active part, will tell the gms any problems that need their attention (brought to his attention either by these forums or when u tell him)

and above all he's a good player, and a good member of ts, and a good member of the mir community.

sry a bit off topic but dont like ts member/friends to be treated in a way thats unfair, especially when loud has done a lot for us all :)

as have u glaivier, so ty and ty to ur brother for posting these up, after all any information is better than non at all :) and this info will help people :)

thats all, leia :)
