Solo & duo hunters
Progress at your own pace, with hunting, quests and gear goals. We’re checking solo viability so joining a large guild isn’t the only route forward.

Inside the world of Mir
Native client capturesSmall characters. Big battles. A world worth exploring. We’re bringing together familiar Mir systems and new progression ideas, with the original tiled world at the heart of it.

Build audit · 13 Oct 2026We’re bringing familiar Mir foundations together with a wider world, our own equipment and progression that gives you reasons to keep hunting. Here’s what is actually registered in the local development build.

This is a like-for-like database inventory, not a claim about every Mir server or the original retail release. Maps are registered environments; items include variants, materials and supporting definitions. Counts do not mean every entry is player-accessible, balanced or ready for launch. Routes, drops, quests and class use remain under review.
Your way to play
Log in alone. Find a hunting partner. Build a guild. Chase a collection or a rival. Our aim is a world with room for each of you, where active play and meaningful rewards keep the adventure moving.
Guilds & groups
Shared hunts, preparation and teamwork should matter. Group challenges, guild activity and community events are part of the direction.
Guild foundation present · expanded content plannedCollectors & traders
Chase equipment, useful materials and better rolls. Our personal sets add 108 items; monster and boss collections are a further planned goal.
Equipment deployed locally · collection systems plannedPvP & rivalry
Class identity, timing and preparation should decide a good fight. We’re working towards competitive encounters alongside worthwhile PvE progression.
PvP foundation present · class and reward balance pendingExplorers
Towns, caves and deeper regions with reasons to visit them. The map count is a starting point: routes, encounters and rewards need to make each journey worthwhile.
601 maps registered · world checks continueReturners & busy players
Clearer goals and useful progress in a shorter session. Manual world hunting keeps the advantage: equivalent auto-room kills award half the XP.
50% auto XP rule settled · full progression testing dueThese are design aims and current development states, not a promise that every playstyle is already fully balanced. Pre-beta feedback will help us test the trade-offs.
What we heard from players — and how we’re responding
Player discussions raise different, sometimes conflicting priorities. These themes are paraphrased from research, not quotations or testimonials about MIR Forever.
Room for independent players
Some players cannot organise their sessions around a group. Our response is to test a viable solo route alongside worthwhile group challenges.
Goals beyond another XP grind
Players want reasons to keep playing after a level or equipment milestone. Forge progression and material hunting are in development; broader collections and encounters are planned.
Keep the familiar Mir feel
Classic places, class identity and the visual feel matter. We’re using our installed map files, game interface and correctly matched class equipment to show the world honestly.
Make the early journey worthwhile
Returning and new players need clear next steps. We’re reviewing early progression, guidance and rewards, with tester feedback helping expose frustrating gaps.
The answer isn’t to force everyone into the same routine. It’s to connect hunting, equipment, exploration, cooperation and rivalry, then test whether those routes work together.

Class development and custom armour
Monk is the current expansion focus. Archer follows once the foundation is stable. Every class needs directional movement, attacks, skills and equipment checked in the native client.
Both personal sets are deployed locally: 12 armour pieces, 12 weapons and 84 accessories. These illustrations show the original designs. Native animation and equipment alignment checks are still in progress.

Original map renders
Chaos Throne
Stone halls, dark paths and forgotten places.
Verdant Cavern
Dense woodland and glowing forest trails.
Frost Crown Arena
Icy stone, deep drops and a frozen battleground.
Rendered from maps installed in our client and server, using the local game tile libraries. Source file checksums match both installations. These are environment renders; broader route and encounter testing continues.

Level it. Pair it. Forge it.
Our weapons · our progressionA weapon should have a journey of its own. Here’s the planned two-copy tier journey, illustrated with our own Eclipse Warrior sword and original forge-material artwork.
01 →
Level it
Work towards the upgrade requirement. The private forge has ranks 0–12.
02 →
Pair it
+Keep a second copy of the same weapon ready for the planned tier recipe.
03 →
Forge it

Bring the correct materials to the forge. Exact two-copy costs remain in development.

Next tier
The intended next step is one weapon at the next tier. Final recipes and output are still being tested.
Design walkthrough, rather than a live result screen. The same sword design is used throughout so a new weapon shape or unverified glow is not implied. Two-copy tier advancement remains in development.
Every class has its own weapon
Forge testing and balance notes
The private upgrade forge has ranks 0–12, tier-matched materials and gold costs. A native test confirmed a saved 1/12 result, cancellation without consumption, and failures that consumed the selected spare weapon while preserving the equipped target.
The planned two-copy system is a separate next-tier design. Its exact gates, material costs, final output and custom-weapon glow still need native testing. The second armour set is a visual variant, not a claimed automatic tier transformation.
Hunting should matter
Settled XP ruleManual hunting stays central. Auto XP rooms award 50% less XP than normal manual hunting in the world.
100 XPNormal manual world kill
50 XPEquivalent auto-room kill
Same applicable XP bonuses. Normal-world hunting is the baseline; the separate manual XP room does not set the rate. Complete live progression testing remains due.
What we’re building next
- Reconnect towns, forests, caves and deeper hunting regions, checking routes in-client.
- Develop weapon mastery, two-copy tier forging and material-based crafting.
- Build boss encounters and instances around preparation and crafting rewards.
- Complete class, combat, equipment and progression checks.
- Shape guild play, community events and PvP after the core world is ready.
These are development plans. Features and balance can change during testing.
