Ok I know that this has been brought up about 6545614651651 times and shot down about twice that much

but lets face it, nightmist multi in my opinion has gone to the dogs, and i dont really see anyone much interested in multi anymore (some cause of the new nopk and other cause there is NO way a new person can achieve greatness on multi anymore considering other players are years literally years in advance)

i know this is a rip off of a couple other games but why not make multi into a ladder type server, fully reset it, limit the number of chars to say 5 or w/e the playerbase votes on and then once every year reset it from then on, and give the number 1 ranked player (i'd assume this would be your main character at this point) given a special prize such as an item or something lol basicaly a way of bringing the bracelet of speeds and inquistor's ring back into multi.

i know iam drunk right now lol so this all sounds great, but lets just have a simple vote and see what the player base thinks

[Gnarkill]

Alot of people have worked hard for years for what they have though also. Resetting the server would possibly make some of those quit rather than remake thier account.. I like and have liked the reset idea even when I had alot of stuff.. I know alot of people also play this game just to kill time and make boring days go faster and such that may welcome the idea of a new challenge.. the ladder idea is kinda meh in my opinion.. but JLH did say it wouldn't be reset so its kinda pointless.. I would fully support a reset just cause it would be interesting to see how things turned out when everyone had a level playing field.. I'd say 10 alts though instead of 5 limit just so if noone is on u can still somewhat solo things. This would also completely fix multi's buying/selling chars and items on forum and economy from people giving hand outs when they quit aswell.. so another plus.

Reset supported (but only a one time reset and not the ladder that involves more work for the few active staff we have left)

[Sausage]

First off, I'd have to say if you're going to reset one server you'd have to reset both.

Secondly, I'd say that since main is nopk, there's no point in reset.

Thirdly, not supported.

[Elf]

fourthly.... ( word or not.. I will use it lol )

1A should be reset.. and left down untill it can be redone the way it should have been
originally... in the first place... not the Main server.

Since that will not happen.... I do not forsee either being reset.


Elf

[Sausage]

Fifthly, Elf for JLH '08 rofl

But I just wanted to conur with what elf said.

[shomer]

anyone who has actually worked for what they have most likely won't start all over again, especially seeing how hard it is to roll a decent three stat anymore, let alone anything higher. of course people who never did anything but gatesit would support a reset since they'd have a chance to be equal. i highly doubt after all the time i've put into some of my crits i'd just start over

not supported

[XxDarkAlliancexX]

i said yes, because i would play it if they did... but, i would totally quit if i had alot of stuff on there lol...

[Gaddy]

I'm going to toss out that a poll does not reflect any accurate numbers since there are some people with 5 forum accounts---made just to vote on polls in forums they use. It's been seen before.

Anyway, there is no justification for a reset. It is now an adventure game, rather than a real competition. Reducing players progress takes away from what they can explore----and we would not see the progress duplicated in any reasonable time-frame.
Muchless, a reset would finish off the quitting of almost every player that is left from a while back. Players left over would have no comparisons or players to look up to or compete with for bosses.

[Trance]

I still have my very first ever crit from main and it's lvl 34 atm. If they reseted main my sig would look a lot shorter hehe .

[jurian]

What Elf said:P

[«¤ºxXl3úÐXxº¤»]

Delete 1a . Leave main alone. Elf come staff 1a with trev.

On top of what gaddy said, 16 people have voted about 5 or 6 log on main regularly so to me, those 5-6 are the ones that really count. I'm one of them saying no.

[XxDarkAlliancexX]

1a>multi... but besides that... cody is right... all the people that voted no are people that play 1alt... and me for 1(probably more) would be willing to play main if there was a reset and pk was re added..but being as it is nopk, i dont really see why a reset would be necessary.. i mean your basically just playing against yourself on main...

[Ill never tell]

Been said before. If any reset was going to happen (And there needs to be one if this game ever wants to have a chance at striving) it would be to close down BOTH servers fix and fix and balance the game to fit the alt limit of which JLH/Simon would seem to be the best choice. Such as close down both and reopen ONE when they decided if they wanna continue with the 1a, 5a, 10a, or 20a. In my opinion, I think it would need to be 1a since that seems to be most popular and in my opinion the best way to go about a text based game. But as they said, Its not gonna happen so good luck.

[Hansol]

there is no point in doing a reset and only bad kids want resets and it wont do anything anyway

the best players will be way richer than the normal ones and the same thing will repeat itself in another few years but we all have wasted years of our life and lost the accts we worked 5 years for


edit: and to everyone saying 1a is the best it just isnt

if people want to play 1a they will play WoW or something the best part of nightmist is that you can use alot of crits

Edited by Hansol, 20 October 2008 - 03:02 AM.

[Gin]

uh, I don't play WoW? I like 1A, most of the time anyways - and I think using a lot of crits would be boring..I made the decision to join 1A not only because I wanted to PK..but because only playing one character at a time seemed to be more challenging. And it incorporates bonds that you have to make with other players, or you won't achieve anything.

[Isolated]

wows pretty lame..

[«¤ºxXl3úÐXxº¤»]

And again let me remind you, don't ask for a reset on a server you don't play, if your not involved you don't deserve an opinion. Notice no one that plays main is crying about the game state, new areas, new weapons, resets blah blah blah. Simple fact is the main player base is content with main. Those are nice things and always appriciated but not something anyone is longing for right now. I don't need to say anymore because gaddy covered it.

[Cadabra]

I used to play on the multi server and did boss to boss daily, i always said it needs a reset and taking nopk off as nopk is what killed the server because people couldnt handle being chased down with 200k+ gold on them and murdered. I say if you do not like being pk'd then maybe nightmist isnt the game for you. The people who whined about being killed and wanting the server to be nopk do they still play? No. They ask for nopk and quit LOL. Great way to mess the game up and leave.

If people who say it doesnt need a reset maybe theyre killing the game also? Think about it and then post on this thread.



Edit: I also played when it was PK and was killed from time to time i never bitched about it so why did everyone else? its the whining that got nopk.

[shomer]

i'd prefer to have pking turned back on..sure there wasn't much of it going on before it was turned off but it's nice to do once in awhile when you have the option. other than that i'm happy with main, there's nothing i would change. less players = more bosses for me lol

[Cadabra]

less players = more bosses for me lol

but dont you think the less players the less chance of new staff being hired and new area's being put in?

[shomer]

i'm satisfied with what there is now, there are plenty of areas to choose from. of course i'm all for more areas being put in but it's not something i'm expecting at this time

[«¤ºxXl3úÐXxº¤»]

I agree turn pk back on, i'm all for it. Still no reason for a reset. The only reason i see which really isn't a reason and is pretty lame is that everyone dumped off there main stuff to play 1a. Now they have nothing and want a reset because boo hoo to the thought of making new stuff. You could agrue that you could just trade back, but not really i frequently try to buy main, there is none for sale for the most part. If there is, i find a way to buy it. If i don't someone else usualy does very quickly.

[Hansol]

because only playing one character at a time seemed to be more challenging. And it incorporates bonds that you have to make with other players, or you won't achieve anything.

using 1 crit is harder than using 20 at full skill? LOL dont make me laugh

1a doesnt seperate the normal players from the tier 1 players aka the best players nm has had in certain aspects (people like broc/me/dev/ed) to name the fastest/best pvp players in no special order and it doesnt seperate normal people who cant do anything on their own from pvm legends like joe/aeryn

what do people like us get on 1a if we actually could be assed to play it? HOLY nuts WE COME ON THE SQUARE AND ARE ATTACKING WITH A HALBERD INSTEAD OF A PIKE AND HAVE 3 ROAS AND 1 CR INSTEAD OF JUST 4 CRS SWEET DAMN THATS INTENSE

on multi on the other hand you can tell about how good someone is just by their alt esc speed when they are attacking a target as they enter the square

if you think it takes less skill to use more crits your just wrong and thats all there is to it I dare you to let any of the top 1a players from pandi or whatever the hell that clan is aside from broc and have them solo some bosses tirantek has to offer or a hard boss like imhotep without losing crits not even mentioning something like soloing imhotep on 12 like I used to because its easy as hell to just manage keeping 1 crit alive you just attack and you have to wait 10 seconds before you can attack again and the whole time your watching your hp on multi it isnt that simple and the dueling on 1a isnt even worth mentioning its just about who wasted more time on the game to have a bigger acct instead of speed and skill like multi

1a = lets hold hands boyscout teamwork bullnuts because you can go to a boss with a level 20 adept fighter and have the same chance as getting a drop as the best player there because its decided with a /random so in pvp and pvm the truly best players arent untouchable as they are on multi please dont tell me you think the people on top on 1a are seriously the best players of nm because it just isnt true end of story

[Lethal_Dose]

resetting main would be pointless, want too play main? do what others have done & trade your 1a stuff for main.

Cal ftw !

[Hansol]

Rappy posting on cals acct actually but good enough I guess

[Scripto]

Rappy for the win then!

Lol

But for real... multi server isn't going to be reset I would never support it as I have said all the other times this has been said....

It gets reset, I'm gone completely easy as that.
