European Mir The
Italian games company
Game Network (originally owned by
Digital Bros) was responsible for the operation of the European version of the game.
Game Network originally had their own satellite
television channel (which also has a dedicated show to it,
Me in Mir), but was later closed in 2005 (in Italy) and 2006 (in UK) due to lack of funding. In January 2006, gwyl, who played on the Phoenix server, became the first player to reach the level 50 milestone and has a statue of his character erected in the game. In the 2007 yearly review and the September quarterly review,
Digital Bros made it clear that they not only intended to replace
The Legend of Mir 2 but also another MMORPG service they provided, the
Myth of Soma. Digital Bros cited declining subscription revenues (from €178,000 the previous year, to just €32,000) as the reason.
The Legend of Mir 2,
The Legend of Mir 3, and the
Myth of Soma were all closed in Europe in March 2009. == External links ==
