Ok, OK, I understand that 1a is a PK server, but may I make a simple suggestion? Don't be a turnip. By this I mean, my brother(Loki/Buddah) and I started this game, with nothing but ourselves to help us. Shortly after we discovered that we couldn't lvl off of small snakes for the rest of our game lives, we went on an exploration adventure. We traveled far north in hopes of finding something to quench our thirst for experience, eventually finding a Large Forest which I now know is the pit of Hell. Shortly after we received help from a few players, we realized that they only used us to make gold for them and served as sacrificial pawns for they're PK record. With this in thought, I've realized why the player-base is as low as it is. Being the best is not bad thing, but what's the point in being the best when you have no one left to PK? I simply suggest that these few players should probably do more to contribute to the games well being and don't run off new players.

Hey, there are a few nice people left on the game, but many of them tend to play the multi-alt server.

lol honestly i log on to nightmist atleast once a day, either to make a few mill exp and a lil bit of gold or to just talk a few mins and log off, but lets just face it, nightmist is failing because NOTHIN LASTS FOREVER

everyone is holding onto a false hope of nightmist ever geting "good" again and how can the game ever grow if the owner JLH himself has lost interest

I was going to make this same comment and suggest that you and your brother try playing Nightmist, rather than 1-Alt. If you do decide to give it a whirl, you have quite an advantage having two players on the account, or being able to work together on 40 characters.
And if you end up switching to mainly playing Nightmist, I can give you some tips and assistance with how to best get going, if you need or want it.

One thing i've noticed with NM is that most changes are the addtion of new areas. Existing areas are generally not touched at all. This has a couple of effects

1: the world keeps getting bigger reduding the chances of players meeting each other, there are few if any surprises (other than very occasionally discovering a new area).
2: people can and generally do just keep doing the exact same thing over and over

Maybe something radica like say some rockfalls and newly cut tunnels in the sewers or so.........................

Its like this only the strong willed survive. When i started there was a guy that pked me nonstop and all it did was make me want to get better so i could murder his crits. Eventually i did and wasnt really bothered with alot after that. Take the good with the bad and go on with it. Pks happen. Only way it doesnt is if you play the main server. Train you 4 clerics on main and you can train parties of anything. Or stick to training alone on one alt or find a strong friend to protect you. One of the main things in one alt is how you start. Be nice no matter what cause your attitude will effect who attacks you.

Maybe you should pick better friends then. You already have stand up enemies. We always stab you in your face, not your back.
I would ask myself why, but even I do not know everything.

Very mature Walt. I choose my friends very well and havent been stabbed in the back yet, and as for stabbing me in the face im still living and still kicking you clans ass!

Anyways enough from the child, this topic is about..Why theres such a low player base.


Clans are also the reason.

You say "very mature Walt" to me, yet you are one of the people Gin is speaking of when he first started this thread.

Maybe i am one of those people but did i throw a stupid comment like "We always stab you in your face, not your back."

Grow up Walt.

Shortly after we received help from a few players, we realized that they only used us to make gold for them and served as sacrificial pawns for they're PK record. With this in thought, I've realized why the player-base is as low as it is.

.
Then you go and rattle off this,

It dont matter on your attitude cos no matter what you will always be stabbed in the back.......

.
All I am saying is when you deal with myself, or anyone else from Pande, we will pk you upfront, and not do anything shady like this.

So what i get from this posting is that you condon shadey like playing, just to get extra gold and pks, then tell them it doens't matter about how their attitudeds are because people like you will always stab them in the back. Got cha!

I looked into this game, would very much like to try it but the roller is a bit hard. I have been rolling for 3 days straight at least 5 hours straight while watching TV or even a movie and I have not even recieved a 3 stat in the areas i need for anything. Maybe this is a reason? I would LOVE to try this game the layout and from what I have read from the website looks awesome. How can I play a game that takes me 3+ days to roll just 1 character? I have given up on rolling spending 10-15 hours on rolling has just made me change my outlook on the game in diffrent ways. If the roller is hard how hard will it be to level? and looking at all the fights on the forums seems there is a lot of drama here. if someone would like to help me out or explain things to me or how to do this thingy please message me at BuntingA23 on Aim Thanks
Amanda
