We need to start inviting new people to play the game...or trying to get people who used to play to play again. Lately i have seen the server at its pretty much lowest population. I been giving out semi low lvl crits to new players and even older players that have come back just to try and influence them to stay longer.

[Peacemaker]

Well anyways i still have extra lowbies i can give out for beginners so if you are new or are just coming back and need and extra boost to make it bit more interesting by starting with a higher lvl then hit me up and i will gladly help.

Like I posted before, I tried playing but it isn't worth comming to a game and having to roll 6-12 hours just to get 1 character. Yes people told me your first character doesnt have to be perfect but why do I want to put time into something crappy that wont be worth nothing resale value nor will it even be worth my time. Maybe If the roller wasn't as difficult I would play. Although I look thru the forums as I have said before all I see is just drama. If the forums are that way that basically tells me how the game is.

Yes, rolling sucks. But in all honesty 95% of NM started out with crappy statted crit. You should give it a whirl.

[Thunderja]

The creators of the game no longer care, why should I? Seems so pointless to even try.

[Angelus]

New people don't come/stay cause the game just sucks. Old people play because they hope/believe old times will be back again.

It's all very easy, as life is. If it doesn't make you happy, do something else that does.

Since i have returned i have brought 6 new people to the game. Out of those 6, only 3 have stayed. I gave them all decent lvled crits with 4-5 stats to troll around with for a few hours. The other 3 that left went back to guild wars or asda story. It's not just a matter of finding new people, it is a matter of showing them the interesting of nm before they bore of it. I try to keep my nibblits i brought in busy each night with something new to do, but they get bored just as everyone else does.

What we need are some new attractions, but we cant have those due to the fact the creators have given up or lost faith in the game. Nothing big will ever be added to nm again. Sorry all, but in the end we will do nothing but sit here and rot out. The legends of the game wil fade away just like everything else in the world does.

I also helped one of Cody's new players out.

lvl 29 ranger pxpppp
and like a mil in items.

Nice to see some new players that are nice so i dont mind helping them out.

I have helped a few noobies out in my time, I am always welcome to do it again

Basically as said, no one is going to come to a game where you have to spend so many hours just to have a chance at rolling a good character to start with these days. Not when so many other free games out there are casual/noob friendly.

Not to mention it feels pointless with this game having had the exact same economy for so many years due to no resets. New players feel they have no chance at becoming one of the top players due to people who have played it for years.

This is why alot of games have a reset every year or two, or they add in new content that is just so good it makes the old items worthless so new people still have a shot. These are just two of the major reasons Nightmist and games like it won't see any new comers staying.

I gotta say I really agree with your post.

[Ghost_Wolf]

you got to look at the big picture here. It's not all about new items or new areas. It's not just about how the roller screws you over for 10 hours before it finally makes you want to suck on the dangerous end of a shotgun.

We got to have people in the game to create our ideas. We have to have someone make those nice big juicey xp and item filled areas.

take a look at the staff here. how many do we have? Has anyone ever counted? We have 7 staff total now. I remember when we had 10+ at one point in time. Now lets break down who each staffer is and the last login times for them.

JLH- last login 12-11-08 Does he login to check on the game or just to chat?does he add new areas or does he just scan everything?

Pandilex- Last login 11-30-08 Where has Simon been? Does anyone know? Last words on him where that he has lost faith in the game. I can understand why.

Oracle-last login 12-13-08 Ive not spoke to wes in many months. I never see him out in the open anymore and he never announces he is in game. (atleast i dont see it.)

Scripto-last login 12-13-08 Mark does show up often, but i never see him stay around long enough. He does yell out to the players and lets them know he is there.

Stadius-last login 12-14-08 Stadius,to me, is the most active staffer on main. ive also not seen him in the open much, but he lets his presence be known in other ways.(*Winks at Gaddy*)

Elf-last login 12-13-08 Elf is the hot shizz on 1a. She is around any spare moment she can be, talks to all the players, and gets to know how they feel about issues.(she also has this thing about poofing people when they least expect it lol.)

Trevayne- last login 11-11-08 Trevayne is supposed to head up development of main.(As far as i have been told.) did he vanish as well?


Now dont get me wrong. Staff have a life to i understand that. is it i am trying to say they need to spend every waking minute they have in NM building,tweaking bugs,and answering our questions no matter what they are doing? no. We do need to see you guys. Staff are just fadeing in and out of our NM lives, and for the small amout of staff we have it is no wonder alot of the things that need to be done cant be done. As far as i see, only Gaddy and Elf are around. Everyone else works in the shadows or is just not around at all.


Yes we need the new areas, because we have chewed the old ones apart. we just zone out when we get in them. We run on auto pilot because we can run the area by heart.

Yes we do need new items for these new areas. A lovley vamp/mag/con wep at the end of a rather nasty monster filled area is what we would like to have when we reach the end. Make it worth the bloody fight to get there.

Finally- We need to see more of our staff, and we need more staff period. Find some fresh staff for the game you know will be active, and dont just log on and cloak. We need to know you guys are there.


I am not trying to attack anyone if it seems like this has come out that way, but people do need to see staff, and we need more staff in this game. Alot of us have played this game for many years, and we will stay here while others around us go and come. NM is not just a game to alot of us. it is a place for us to come to talk to our friends, and a game we like to enjoying playing with family. Alot of us have known each other for so long, we do consider each other family. At the rate people are declining in NM, i give it another year maybe an you will see maybe 1 person on either server/ I do understand people get burned out on the game and need a break, but when and if you come back bring someone new with you. thats what i did and i brought people with me to stay. NM will never have the glory it did so many years ago, but with a little more effort from player and staff we can keep it to enjoy a few more years down the road.

I see Elf/Mark on ALOT. Gaddy ive seen quite active but not alot.

Simon was on like a week ago.

[Payne]

No point in new people playing they just get killed by the same moron over and over cuz they think they are cool. And it will always happen so dont expect to be seeing any new players anytime soon with the lvl of extreme people play this game.

[«¤ºxXl3úÐXxº¤»]

It is what it is get over it. Everything lives, and Everything dies. Including nightmist.

[Payne]

why are u telling me to get over it? im clearly just telling u why we dont have NEW players... moron

[Bunting]

I tried to roll, just not gonna roll forever to play a game. Expecially if it has as many problems as you guys make it look to have.

Do you have to roll to play WoW? nope and it has 11 million people playing it.
Do you have to roll to play Diablo? nope and look how many people play it.

It's a forum, the posts go in chronological order, that doesn't mean he was talking to you. Why would you even think that that was directed to you.

Eureka! So the 11 million players playing WoW are playing it because of lack of a roller. What a marketing scheme.

Exactly why I am not going to try the game, expecially if it has smartasses like you. Why would anyone wanna play? I mean seriously. *looks at a website of a game" this game could be intresting! "Looks at forums to learn more about the game" Wow all I see is a bunch of smartasses and drama! Why would anyone want to play? looks like the game is having enough problems of its own. I dont wanna get intertwined with all the drama and dumbasses. I come to play a game to get away from irl stuff "Smartass,work,Drama, life in general* not to listen to douches.

[rebel_blaidd]

lol i just rolled a 4 almost 5 stat zerker and buddy drama and smartasses everywhere just have a go it is a fun game and no lag atm lol try that on WoW or ffxi or everquest or whatever lol

buddy? that's something you would call your guy friends. I am far from a guy

[Cadabra]

im just gonna LOL at this thread.

Bunting: You say theres drama but you seem to be throwing a few digs in yourslef, either play/like the game or dont at all upto you.


We all choose to play nightmist even though there is a few big headed idiots who play, we just get on with what we are doing and enjoy it.

You never tried the game, but you still roam the forums fighting for a better NM? And just because your earlier comment was rather pointless, doesn't make me a smartass. It was just silly to compare WoW with NM and to only give one difference out of the millions possible. Saying thats the reason NM is struggling. Besides that, I don't even play the game anymore, although I wasn't aware that I hold that much power over your decisions, so feel free to give it a go.

[Bunting]

Only reason I keep posting is because I am "hoping" someone will maybe be nice and be like "hi here let me show you how this works' or actually be nice and explain some things to me instead of biting off my head for giving my opinion!

[Sausage]

All I know, if I was a newbie reading this post I sure as hell wouldn't want to dl it.

Bunting, like I said, give it a whirl. Complaining about how long it takes to roll a good crit won't get you any where. We all had to do it at one time or another. Unless you're waiting for someone to hand you a 6 stat. Then good luck. If not hit me up on Incognito on 1a and I'll help you out.

[Defeat]

Yeh, you can get me on Mythical on 1a. I'll help. I been wantin' me a noobie.
