Regarding Pay-To-Play

I deleted the P2P topic, it was getting a little out of hand.
The facts are simple, right now the game is not going to go pay-to-play. As you all know already the technology to do so is implemented but I can assure you it will be a fair while before we even consider P2P. There are many things to consider if the game does go play-to-play - for a start we would have to pay a lot more for our internet connection (because of the type of connection required if you wish to generate income).
There's also a lot of rumours going around about Nightmist 3D. I can tell you now that regarding the future of nightmist, I have planned many many interesting alterations and additions to the game, including something for level 30's to do to keep themselves entertained when they're not slaughtering the rest of the players 
The 3D version of the game you have heard rumours about is a consideration for the future. Due to a limited knowledge of 3D and the problems with synchronizing a world between so many players, you cannot expect to see this soon.
As information comes about any future Nightmist games or developments you will be informed (Unless we want it to be a surprise of course).
Until then, sit back and enjoy the ride.
PS: If you see anything unusual in the game, its probably a new feature being tested.

Don't make it 3D. It's a text-based game, like Apple said it would lose it's touch. Reading descriptions and using your mind to guide is a big factor of the game.

Know what would go perfect with the pay to play?
A 2-3 alt limit.

 glad to see an old nightmist player stick around.... i think the majority of players that are gunna leave, will be those who have only been playing for atleast 6 months. people like me, the_third_duke, scream, jen, jess, anarchy, and all the other old players will stick around for as long as it takes, and i sure hope they do too

I guarantee you i'm sure not going anywhere, i'll just get rich to pay for me if pay to play is implemented, he doesn't seem to mind payin for everything he he's got so it shouldn't bother him.
And the alt limit thing is kinda a stupid idea, u worry about people moving in large pk parties, but u say it's cause u don't want server to lag, many people train their crits in large parties, myself included. It'd be a pain if this was implemented.

I agree, I think maybe a limit of 5 (enough so that you don't have huge groups of one person, but big enough for them to train)
