NFT MMORPG MIR4 celebrates first anniversary – plans to open new servers and merge others on August 23rd

MIR4 is an MMORPG that has surprised many in the past year. Not only has the game managed to bypass the Steam ban for NFT games, but it has flourished as one of the most played games on the platform. Now, as the team at Wemade prepares for the anniversary celebration, they’re rolling out some big server changes along the way.

MIR4 is now one year old. During that time, not only have they doubled down on blockchain-based assets by releasing new types of monetizable NFTs, but the team at Wemade is so pleased with the game’s success that they have plans to release a remake of the original. MIR game with a European twist, which will be known as The Legend of Ymir. Just like MIR4, The Legend of Ymir will use NFTs in a play to earn capacity.

On the 23rd of August^rdsome major server changes will be made MIR4. Six new “NFT servers” will be opened. These servers will be specific to NFT based tokens and only verified NFT tokens will be able to access these servers. Wemade will also be merging servers in preparation for what they call “Domination Servers”, which consist of 16 servers per region that will essentially be pitted against each other. The difference between the new Domination servers and the NFT servers stops at the door. There is no difference in gameplay, resources or environment between server types except for the bar of entry to the NFT servers.

A list of servers subject to mergers can be found on the official website. Out of 229 servers, only 80 are scheduled to be merged on August 23rd^rd. NFT servers will be released globally, including in North America, Europe and South America.

In addition, there will be new anniversary events to celebrate their first full year of live service. Players can participate in community events, such as snapshot and fan art contests, and in-game events, such as the Divine Dragon’s Blessing event, by logging in during the next 3 weeks. A video detailing the various events can be found on the official YouTube account, or watch at your leisure below:

MIR4 is available on iOS, Android and PC via their official launch, or through Steam. MIR4 has surprisingly had a fairly stable player base over the past year, and currently has around 40,000 peak daily players, down from an all time high of 97,000 at launch. MIR4 has also achieved over 5 million downloads on mobile platforms in the past year. It may be too early to tell MIR series will keep steam, but if the past year is any indication, with Wemade taking on other properties such as Bless Unleashed to turn its flailing games into games to earn powerhouse, it’s clear that Wemade is betting big that it will.
