Mirage: Arcane Warfare has been removed from sale on Steam (and third party marketplaces).

We have made this change in part due to the new European Union privacy law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), that comes into effect May 25, 2018. We unfortunately have run out of options for keeping Mirage alive.

Official servers will remain running until May 31. Players will continue to be able to host their own public or private servers after this point.

Thank you for your support and for enjoying Mirage's journey up to now. We look forward to seeing you in our future titles. Our other games, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare and Chivalry: Deadliest Warrior, will not be affected.

We held a popular vote in our update last week, to celebrate the release of Patch 5. It ended with a dead tie, but we decided to let QA Guy John, creator of those mods, cast the final vote.

This patch adds support for custom servers, allowing community members to host their own Mirage servers anywhere worldwide. It also adds spectacular custom game options!

Issues related to the backend (affecting Training and XP display) are also fully resolved. Previously, the high player population during Mirage’s Steam Free Day temporarily knocked this backend out of service. Any experience earned during this period (and/or anytime afterward) should now display properly, character customization options are back on track and the Training/tutorial level is now online.

On September 6th, Mirage went temporarily free-for-a-day on Steam.
http://steamcommunity.com/games/368420/announcements/detail/1452830226782492235
Our primary reason for doing this promotion was to bring new players in, to keep Mirage playable for its (originally) small but dedicated community. We’re very pleased to say that was a huge success.

Player numbers got massive, and much bigger than we expected! Almost a week later, server population is still very healthy, hovering at around 1000 concurrent as of writing.

If you missed the free day, you can still get Mirage for a new low price of $9.99 (down from $29.99 USD).

http://store.steampowered.com/app/368420/Mirage_Arcane_Warfare/
If you got Mirage for free and want to show us some monetary love, consider grabbing the $10 Special Edition upgrade DLC. This gets you a free copy of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare (to the same Steam account), the soundtrack, art pieces, exclusive armor unlocks and more!

http://store.steampowered.com/app/548660/Mirage_Arcane_Warfare__Special_Edition_Upgrade/
Finally, if you have played Mirage and want to tell others about your impressions, please leave a review on Steam!

Resolving features temporarily affected by Free Day traffic

• Our top priority is getting the Mirage online backend functioning properly, which (among other duties) applies earned player XP to each player’s copy of Mirage. XP is being tracked and earned; just displayed incorrectly. As detailed in this thread, the high player population wrought havoc on this backend. Since then, we’ve had it working on and off. We’ll update this post when it is completely resolved, which will require a patch.

Patch 5 (coming very soon)
- Support for private servers will allow any player to host their own servers, anywhere!
- Custom server support will allow both official and private servers to experiment with their own crazy configurations. For example (yes, we tried all of these):

• Mirage Madness: All players move at 2x speed, but have only 15 hitpoints.
  
• Jousting: Attack and try to poke the enemy before they poke you! All players have very slow attacks, 30 hp and 1.5x movement speed.
  
• Tanky Taurant: One Taurant has 600 hp, all other players have 30 hp. Kill the Taurant to become… the Tanky Taurant!
  
• Min and Max player count and class limits. Anyone want to try 24 player TDM, Alchemancers only? Maybe a little 1v1 action?

We welcome players to submit bug reports and gameplay suggestions to our forum.

Mirage launch sales were poor. That sucked, and we know it. Our company's doing fine, and we'll be able to continue to make awesome games in the future.

More than anything, we're disappointed for the players who stuck by us and did buy Mirage - but who have struggled to find people to play against. We just want people to play the game we spent years making.

We have faith that Mirage can find a larger audience still, so we’re being aggressive about getting it into people’s hands.

We think Mirage is a great game, but don’t take our word for it - we encourage you to check out press reviews before you commit to trying or buying:

http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/mirage-arcane-warfare/critic-reviews

Since launch, we’ve added new maps, new character abilities, new features like bots, more class customization options - and we have set various patches live to continue to improve performance and player experience.

Give it a shot while it’s free! We hope to see you on the battlefield soon.
