In Topic: Any Leveling Guides Out There?

21 May 2022 - 04:30 PM

I'm not sure if the POD has been messed with at all on them over the years but the Sentry Spiders in the Spider Lair under the meadow north of Nightmist used to be decent exp.. not great but decent enough. There is a spot in the area that exits back into the sewer(you'll be able to see it on the map on the wiki it's at the top left hand side) with a few of them that you can hit and run. It's slower than swamps and all that but it's pretty easy to stay alive and has a quick exit to run for pots/mana when it gets to be that time.. only downside is a couple KTP sentry spiders on the way down there(and a death trap.. also on the map marked with a red arrow be careful!) but it's pretty easy to survive for a while as long as you don't mess around in the areas with lots of spiders on the way too much and waste your inventory of pots getting there.

 

I'm also unsure if 1a has a different level cap or anything than multi does for this area.

Having all classes available for all races would be fun.

In Topic: Arbitration - Game Staff "stig" And Player "banishment"

11 February 2022 - 11:54 PM

I hate to see this. I didn't want to post on these threads at first because I didn't wanna get caught up in the drama this stuff always brings but I feel I need to say something now that it's came to this and seeing recent posts.

 

In the decades I've known Gareth in-game he's always been fair as a player and staff to me. I'm not close to him and I've never interacted with him outside of game at all but from what I do know he is a good dude and I for one was glad he was made staff. Gareth is one of the few people in game that has always been kind or fair to people who treat him the same over the entire time I've played. If you had an issue in game he would always take the time and do his best to work it out or help or at least guide you to contact JLH and even going as far as helping JLH notice that contact attempt to get things resolved more quickly. I feel I need to say all of this because a lot is being piled on someone who has always been a good dude in my opinion.

 

I don't care about this current situation or if people disagree with me or have had different experiences I am just giving my viewpoint. I do care that the only person I've seen still even attempting to improve the NM experience might have been chased off. Things could have and should have been done differently and not gotten to this point. I appreciate Gareth for taking the time out of his days to staff this game as long as he has and appreciate all he has done. Thank you for that Gareth. I really mean that. 

 

This leaves the fact that every time we have an active staff on this game that actually tries to change anything it's only a matter of time before they get ran off by players that take it as a slight or disagree with them over something that looks silly in hindsight. I hate this about NM. Sometimes as a player base we don't know how to handle small issues like adults and it snowballs into a big issue in which staff is either removed or just gets fed up and leaves. This does not leave the game in better shape because as soon as it happens "new players" aka perm banned players from the past come back under new aliases, botting and auto rolling run rampant and NM just circles the drain as it gets further away from the game and player base we all used to love and the players who play by the rules and appreciate having staff are discouraged and/or ran off. It's time we're honest with ourselves and point the blame where it's due. A lot of players who have left and never came back didn't just "grow out of NM" or "move on to better games". They left because of player or clan disagreements and drama, getting hunted and harassed mercilessly to the point they couldn't even play, sharer theft, personal attacks in and out of game, some well deserved perm bans obviously but the list goes on and we've seen it happen over and over. it sucks.

 

Gareth please don't be so hard on yourself. You're a kind dude with a good heart and I'm glad I got share a nerdy little game like NM with people like you over the years. Even if I'm not as present in-game as I once was just know there are still people out there who have your back.


In Topic: 1-Alt: What Are Your Thoughts On Pve Only For This Server?

I'm in my own clan and prefer just wandering around solo listening to some music and relaxing in a peaceful environment when I play these days. I haven't been pk'd or pk'd anyone in so long that I forgot it's something we all used to do and take seriously  :lol:

 

I'm cool with whatever but for selfish reasons due to my limited playing time I'd really support the idea of less exp loss per death in general.  ;)
