well i just have a little faith in jlh and pandilex's abilities if they're allowed to have the time to do it and the support of the current playerbase. opal spheres would've been kickass if it was completed. granted, it never got far but it had a good concept, something that is needed but can't be added to nightmist now. hell, people do donate now, and there is a fair amount of people who have stuck with this game for a long time now that would give nm2 all it's worth (coincidentally, most players who've played for a long time are old enough for credit/debit too). so i don't think i'd exactly be the only one. nor do i think that it matters how many players cross over. i think it's not unreasonable to assume that some will, and that those who do would constitute a greater return for jlh and pan than anything they can expect now.

I'd be the first to pay for Nightmist 2, I've seen enough of Nightmist to put me on the NM2 bandwagon. Also most of the people on my enemy list will also be happy to pay for a better more in depth game (my enemy chat been full of players, not thieves, wankers or people who just sit at sgh) and if thats all paying attracts, the sooner the better in my books. Seriously, who would be willing to pay cash to sit around talking trash to others?

[combusta]

yeah but 1 of the things that make this game gr8 are the trash talkers at SGH. sorry to say, but its something 2 do when ur bored

[Gèñúíñê Õút£ãw]

How can you state for sure that no one will play? Thier are many old player that quit playing this game because of the current condition that are just waiting to play nm2. Tbh... as others have said its 5-10 bucks a month, i can go around the house and get pop bottles and make that much money. How ever most people won't(most being the people who make the game the way it is) which is a good thing. Also 1 alt will drive away the person who has 20 alts on at a time thats out to pk.

Anyways a lot of people will play.

[shigogouhou]

They'll probably rake in a bunch of people just to try it out, for five-ten bucks for a month's worth of gaming.

I'm working on nm3 as we speak.

[tool]

Any chance we can get the timeframe of these options??????

[the business]

If JLH and Pandi were to take into consideration that NM1 be controlled by Stotic Wes and some other trusted player.. I'd give my vote to Crane, He's wise, fair and a good guy. Quite the legend really..

But tbh, Jurian is quite right, It's going to take a hell of a long time to get NM2 on the go, and a sample of it would be nice.. but option three sucks... Auto rollers could be made maybe, as i found from my post on getting rid of them damn questions! And you'd have everyone being Barstuards.. and i dont wanna play a game were i get abused for having a name similar to some star wars guy or being related to the name of grettle! (stupid people).. option one all the way...

POSTing IS fun

One could hope that those ppl will be the ones not electing to pay

I will certainly play NM2 (despite my earlier statement), I just don't want to see the current NM dropped, or the support level lowered by the development of a game we have yet to see even in a ß version. We know what we have, we do not know what we will get.

As many posters have suggested, let some fair and good ppl continue the NM1 support at least at the current level, and when that has happened, by all means, Simon and JLH develop NM2 and put all you got into it.

Seeing these long posts by Ste and Doggy make me realize why no one ever understands that I'm saying...who's going to actually read a multi-paragraph post?

[MysticStorm]

I've never posted before *at least when it comes to this game*. So I'm going to put in my cheap 2 cents.

1. I do work for a living irl, but between bills to keep a roof over head and 2 kids to take care of. I can't afford to p2p. Sorry, I don't live with my parents and they have a strict belief that I agree with.. Pay for your own life. If NM 1 were to fall apart.. I do have another game to go to that's at least graphic play and not text based. (I prefer text based only because I love role playing.)

2. I voted option 1. (Yes, I read all the replies to this post first!) I have to agree, that if you can't keep players happy in this game, the nm2 will go down the drain faster than this one has.

I would love to see more races/guilds and such but we need higher lvls than 30!

Yes, I would be a little disappointed by seeing everyone lose everything they worked so hard to get. The arch's are what made me enjoy this game starting out because I had so much to worry about when it came to my own crits with them being so low leveled. But at the same time, this game as is, needs so much improvement.

But if NM2 is going to take so damn long to get up and running, get this game better and keep interest in this game till NM2 comes out. If JLH isn't gonna pay attention to NM1 and keep his energy on NM2.. then I agree, put someone else in charge. You'll lose even more interest in NM2 and then all the money and time spent will go down the drain. I know a lot about games (especially role playing games) to know if you ignore one to build a better one, both will go to hell faster than you built it.

Most of the responsibilites have to be handled by JLH. He's the only one with access to logs.

That is a security consideration, which can rather easily be solved.

[Sean]

No it's just that JLH would have to send all the logs to Mike, Wes or whoever was doing that and that would be a problem. He could upload them to the site but that could possibly take longer and take TONS of bandwith.

[Simulation]

Or he could write a program that lets them view that folder, which wouldn't be THAT hard.

[Shaginator]

^ . ^ Would definatley pay to play NM 2

Log viewing via the internet has been no problem for years. There is little difference from any other database viewing. The issue really is choosing what gets logged and who gets to see it (ie. is the viewing to take place via for instance vpn). With the proper choices in that regard made, the bandwidth issue is more or less moot.
