As I said, this is not a post to complain. This a post of curiousity.

What's next with Nightmist? Is it going to turn Pay to Play, and if so, when? Do you have anything big planned, new areas, new skills, new enhancements? What's going to happen thats new? Just wondering how long I should stick around!

[jurian]

there will be a p2p version, staff dun know when it's going to be finished. it will have a completely new map and you'll have to start over again.

free nightmist will still be around. also their has just been opened a new area level 25 and below south east of bt.

[Sneaky]

Jurian, that area wasn't just opened, its been open since Frostburn was put in.

I've heard that JLH is making Nightmist v.2 pretty much. I've only heard rumours from people, but I think it will be one alt only with a lot of other changes. I heard Pandilex was making the map, although it seems he has personal obligations to deal with at the moment, so I have my doubts about if it will come out.

IMHO this is simply another side project that will be thrown away.. Opal Sphears, Devistate Area, Attribute points.. the list goes on and on.

[Prophet]

Simon practically admitted this on a post somewhere on this forum-I can't be bothered to dig it up-.

[Stotic]

Maps are always in development.

[Bun]

Finally, 1 alt. (Hopefully)

Devistate Area wasn't something that was 'thrown away', it was an honest mistake, and deleted.
parts of Opel Sphears are being incorporated, and ideas are being includied and added into Nightmist.
Also, I believe Attribute Points were scraped as they weren't gonig to fit into other future developments of Nightmists.

You all need to get your facts straight before speaking.

[Terence]

Anyone remember Angel's Phrophet of Shadows? What happened to that?

[Stotic]

He stopped running it?

[jurian]

He stopped running it?

was really buggy lol and he stopped running it indeed.

also maha told me the area was new.

everything else i said was info from jlh himself. and i thought it was a 4 alt thingy but not sure.

lol, silly git.

Devistate Area has been in development for YEARS, true, it was a 'mistake' - but that doesnt matter.. It seems it will never be put in. Might as well sell it at some shop for a reasonable price like 10mil'ish

Attributes not working with future developments of nightmist, Then why exactly were Cleric's attribute abilities put in but none of the other ones? Also on that note, Paladin's are completely useless because Cleric's got their attribute points but no one else did, in the good ol' days if someone wanted to be completely spelled up they needed Champ Str and Enhance.

Also, OS was supposed to be a completely new game, Pandilex wanted his own game I suppose..

I'm not trying to pregnant dog about these things, heck, I start small projects but never finish them also, I have about 5 areas 3/4th's done in my nightmist folder. I am just saying, don't get your hopes up......

also maha told me the area was new.

I said fairly new and put in the same time as Mt Frostborn, which for you would be new, since you haven't seen any new areas since around the year 2002 or earlier

[dark pyro]

how much r we going to have to p2p is a better question cvause before i moved it was going to be $3 permonth for a crit but obivously it nvr happend and for any other new areas it does take time to code and download the new areas and devlope new ares. so jlh and the creators could just up and leave the game and not even bother with it so i think it would be best to be patient with them so they have time to do what ever needs to be done.

[Tiomat]

My bro (Angel) stopped working on Prophecy of Shadows ages ago when apparently his uni work was making it difficult (or couldnt fit coding in with his 14 hours a day gaming time ), doubt he will ever fully finish it now since all he does is goto work, and play SW: Galaxies.

Nightmist 2 will never get finished and you know it The idea of a graphical Nightmist is nice but the effort it takes just to keep this one going means that a graphical one (which would need some beef ass servers) aint gonna happen, especially when JLH finishes uni and has to get a proper job

P2P still hasnt been confirmed/denied by JLH but i doubt it will end up coming into this version of nightmist anyway as JLH said it was more hassle than it was worth. If Nightmist 2 comes in then i think that would have to be P2P to server it (you complain about the lag now, imagine what it will be like with 100 players trying to play a graphical game, his NTL lines would explode).

As Matt said, dont get ya hopes up as both Si and JLH finish uni next year and then get the fun of trying to actually survive (JLH as a teacher, Si as er a Japanese speaking hobo ) so i wouldnt be too surprised if any major updates to NM get postponed/abandoned.

ok this is what i got from JLh, Nightmist V2 is in devolpment right now, It will be one alt limit that you will have to start over from scratch, With a new map. It is also Pay to play, The old Nightmist in its curent form will always be around, Where you got a Visual NM is beyond me because the only time i have even heard that mentioned was someone suggested it and it was shot down. I have also been told that it will have a new spell setup, and even though i know more about that i will leave that to JLh and the other staffers to tell when its done.

I have also been told that there will be new classes as well. So from what i have heard it sounds pretty cool and i cant wait.

[All_Evil]

Sounds Sweet, Atleast the 1 alt limit will even out the playing field. I know personally i h8 it when the same person tries to pk me while training with his/her outnumbering army. The only way to train safely is with a many alts by ya side, training wit clannies or just change training areas on a constant basis. The spell setup needed a change and newer classes whooooooooooa ......... can't wait either.

[Satterlee]

if its pay to play, im thirteen years old and cant write checks..

can I send a $20 in an envelope to jlhs house? lol

EDIT: i dont have a credit card either

I was kinda mad at Angel, When PoS came down because of all the bugs, he actually try to start it again with a new forum and told people to start helping. I suggested so much ideas in the PoS forum and few weeks after the forum got deleted cuz Angel is not gonna do anything...Your bro is so lazy...

There are alot of topics on this. I wish you people would take the time to look for them instead of making more pointless topics that we all know the answers too.

If you don't know the answer then look for them in other topics on this issue..
