It probably is, seems like that happens often.

Oh yeah, my friend beta tests WoW... Lucky B*stard

lol, my brother wanted to apply to beta test it, but it was Americans only

He has applied to beta test Dragon Empires though, and I expect he'll get in. He's tested several other games, like Asherons call 2. I'm thinking about getting DE instead, but it all depends on:
1. Which is out first.
2. Which is the cheapest.
3. If DE is actually any good

I think you're right though... most games seem to come out in America earlier. I think it's due for release in augest in the UK.

That is the only reason I stay in America, we get video games earlier here than anywhere except Japan.

Well, maybe there are other reasons I stay in America...

The thing in the past which made nightmist so many times more better than it is today is the quality of the playerbase - technically the game itself is far superior now to the game we knew back then. The only thing non-player related which is destroying the game right now (apart from the players) is the focus on using alts; a friend told me there's even a regularly scheduled event set up now where people fight using alts? not too sure on the reliability of this information, but if it's true.. damn.

Regarding the playerbase; I've been logging on a little bit more recently and the general attitude of the players is disgusting. The game which I'd like to think I helped contribute to (we all did.. in the form of suggestions) in some way to get to the state it's in today, is now overrun by a horde of weenies, each using an army of alts and acting as if they were gods. I'm not saying all the players are like this, but the 'good players' are far outnumbered by the bad.

I'm getting slightly off topic now, but anyway. My vote is based on the fact that the game has great potential if it can get beyond the horrible playerbase that plagues it, and that is why my vote goes for 'in the future'.

That'd be the proficiency tourney you were talking about.

Never participated in it myself.

[Opie]

Amen. I only have two main crits. Blaster and Opie. Mainly because Opie can heal Blaster. I'm getting to where i can kill other people (i'm not a pker, deffensive pking only) and that person will bring in four or five alts, to 1 lv 24 fighter. Is that fair?

I sure do miss the good ol days.. when it was nothing but fun and carrying on. Now, it's people with huge egos... drama... and thievery. It's pretty sad. when ya been playing for years and you want to quit because of it. I still play for the decent people though, otherwise I would've been gone long ago, heh.

[Hatchet Crew]

Vodka huge egos... comon don't be so nice . Really if u compare Nm to the real world they are changing into the same thing. people these days on both ends have no respects for other people. Stealing things irl you didnt used to have to even lock your door round were i live. Yet sadly nothing can be done about it. People will say sumthing about it and it will instantly get shot down and wiped from history. I think the main problem is the egos... if people would just listin to other people for 2 seconds instead of trying to flame them or just try to make them wrong so you can be right. Oh well a good bit of writing wasted because these days people do not care about anything but themselfs and may they burn for it.

Hmm.. 2) Somwhere in the middle of his expansion.

I start playing NM in end of 2001 (?) and do not know what NM was before that. I remember Death who hunting me in sewers (no level cap).

[Opie]

aaah yes the level cap. Gotta give staff props for that. I would be like a lv 5, and suddenly i'd see, xxxx rapidly fired at you from his enchanted bow.

But yeah, there is WAAAAAAY to much drama involved in a game, that frankly, shouldn't involve drama. "So and so stole my account." "Well so and so stole my clan" You wanna know how to solve that?

Move your face REAAAAALY close to the computer...


closer....





closer.....







almost there.....




STOP GIVING OUT YOUR PASSWORD! I'm sure JLH has better things to do than figure out all your little high-school drama crap. And I don't wanna hear about it, i get enough High school drama in high school.

Pacifists hurt NM. But the newer areas put it back on the top of my list as #1 games.

I have played all kinds of pacifists. My feelings aren't because I am bored with them. I just this this class has really screwed the game up.

[Bean]

Bullsh*t it has.

You people are amazingly adept at just dismissing what you do not like.

[two]

yeah, no lvl cap were some great times. i remember getting out of sgh and the sewers were always a treat. and i gotta say in the past, everything was so new, every once and a while i would get completely lost, and yell to staff to help me out and teleport me outta wherever i had gotten myself into. and occassionally they did. you know who you are.

but what i miss the most is the fact that very few people had chips on their shoulder, and it didn't seem like anyone had anything to prove as much as they do now. oh yeah, and less hitting and running.

but i got hopes for the future, they're really interesting mods being done (wait little while after pked for one). they're still some cool kids out there, not quite as cool as the clans we were all part of, but it's getting there. oh yeah, lay off tienno, he's a cool cat. the mafia was oodles fun, as were others.

i see the major problem ppl have with nm is other players. how's this for a solution: stop being a turnip to people, and maybe you'll end up liking more folk. don't sit a pregnant dog and moan, but do something about it.

oh yeah, and the last part of this is i liked it when mad people were shelling out actual cash for crits/items, that was great.

yeh i agree ... pacis are only used to make money.
not what they were intended to do .... rp i think.

What he said.

P.S I'm a hipocrite: Tienno was, and remains to be a knob. *Deval adds a chip*
