Dunno how long I've been around. I can't remember the reset, but I also can't remember seeing many arches when i first started. So I was probably around soon after the reset..

I played before the reset when JLH brought his computer to school on the bus everyday to be the server in the school computer room lol
At the school lunch time there would be about 30 people logged on nightmist and in lesson times there would be like 2. You could pratically be in a room with everyone else logged into nightmist (the school computer room) it ruled :P

I would say i'm a mid-oldie. I started in January a few months after the reset.

Who can remember when JLH was running the server on a dial-up connection? ;p

Odd disconnections, Nightmist being down for hours at a time. Oh yes, I loved prereset!

Edit: Who can remember what day/month/yr the reset was anyway? I cant no matter how hard I try.

Title: Re: how many oldies left?
Post by Prophet on 12/12/03 at 19:41:32
In september 2000 when it got released on the school pc's.

You should all bow before me and rich as well if it wasn't for us, there would be no 'Oracle'. We got him to play it a couple of months before the Summer holiday(2001, coz JLH needs that to be said  :-/, though I can't see how anyone that hasn't got half a brain would realuise you can't get someone to play something, before you started playing yourself, well you can, but it just don't happen, didn't actually think you wouldn't be able to work it out.). I would think Im probably one of the oldest people left. Not sure though coz I know some people did come back like Me_a_freak and some others.

I played before reset. But, I actually quit before it actually happened. Came back afterwards. (I can never stay away forever, but who can?).

Almost a true oldie here. Started in Nov 2000 with a gnome thief which I had to delete cause it had too high stats, so I couldn't switch the stats and keep it.

Title: Re: how many oldies left?
Post by Cosworth on 12/13/03 at 00:20:12
i started playing around just about 2/3 weeks after the reset myself, Davey(Ravnos),Petey(now Swisha)Nicole(now Kiwi),Rick(was Slickrs13),Jill(LtCutie) and a whole lot of others all started roughly around the same timewhen Dragon_NBM was like a god to us and used to take us to the rosegarden and we used to think it was the best places in the game at the time cause we could make gold and he protected us lol i remeber hating BoD they wouldnt let me leave towns without having someone kill me when there was no pk restriction same with Odin and Deval were my first arches i encountered and i used to hate them so much lol but it was a learning process it just made you faster traveling and wanting to be stronger 2 fight back to them

Post by Insomnia on 12/13/03 at 00:49:09
Started a couple of weeks after the reset (according to my swedish class mate who had started before it, and made me start too), but I quit after 2 days since I never found where to level up to lvl 2. And because of that I said some bad words and got banned. Started out again a few weeks later and that's about it I suppose..

Title: Re: how many oldies left?

Can't remember exactly around a month or so after reset.  Now those were the days.....

I did i had a lv 22 Barbiaran and some other stuff... my name's where Bad Sad Mad Glad .. oh well... I miss the days where you had clan portals.. and killed shadows all the time :P.. I quit after reset and just came back recently

Title: Re: how many oldies left?
Post by Stotic on 12/13/03 at 05:35:23
It seems like the reset brought about a lot of new players.  Oddly.

Nightmist was created in the summer holiday of 2000, for release on the internet in september, and appeared on the library computer network in late september/early october. Therefore you can't have played it before the summer holiday, as it did not exist at that time.

Post by Prophet on 12/13/03 at 13:27:41
We got wes to play months before summer holidays 2001 :P ask him lol.

He didn't play, I think his first crit was Jeremy. I didn't even go to the school before the summer holidays lol in 2000.

Title: Re: how many oldies left?
Post by JLH on 12/13/03 at 13:40:55
you said "We got him to play it a couple of months before the Summer holiday" and since you previously said september 2000, one can assume you meant the summer holiday before that september. Of course wesley played before the summer holidays of 2001, since it would have been on the network for a whole year!

Title: Re: how many oldies left?
Post by Prophet on 12/13/03 at 14:07:28
Wesley hardly ever played it on network. At that point he didn't hang around wiht us it was only when he did that we got him to play Nightmist.

You betrayd us aswell when Spong left the school :'(

Post by Halo on 12/13/03 at 14:09:49
We got Wes to play the game, i rolled his first crit basically. (god of death)....JLH, Ryan is right.

Title: Re: how many oldies left?
Post by JLH on 12/13/03 at 14:44:47
i know you did, but the point i am trying to get across that ryan can't seem to understand is that he said he got wes to play it before summer holidays, which he previously said was 2000, which is wrong.

If one must get technical about it, I started playing late november of 2000 and became staff around april of 2001. Flame69 got me playing soon as she started, and shes still around :)

Title: Re: how many oldies left?
Post by Prophet on 12/13/03 at 19:51:10
(Borrowing Ryan's Forum Account)

I played pre-reset, and pre-release (the advantages of being brother of one of JLH's friends).  I can remember the good ol' days of Pern Valley, the sslix and the Executioner (bring him back, he pwned).  The days when newbs didnt have to worry about being pked into non-existence, just the worry that the frog hiding in the wizards shop may one day break lose, and wreak havoc.  And as a final thought, Ryan, NEVER use the name 'Spong' in vain, if you speak that name, you must bow your mortal head to the GOD that did speak the words of wisdom: "You Cabbage".

One of the few.

Halo ppl, Baros here... posting cause Akira asked me to ;o

Well then, if you did play pre-reset then you, most probably, know that I was around back then... and "disappeared" after it aye... The truth is that a couple of months before the reset I started playing other games, and realized Nighmist was an addiction preventing me from enjoying other cool games :) So, the reset was a great excuse for me to stop playing NM hehe...

Oh, and yeah, I did "come back" a couple of times, but to my disappointment, NM wasn't as simple-fun as it was :)

Anyway, if anyone wants to know some stuff about my current activites (duh) feel free to contact me on msn (greekelf87@hotmail.com --- hehe, look at the address, Greek_Elf was my first 'serious' character at NM, Ebony and Anthrax tried to kill him once, but he managed to get Anthrax before getting his arse kicked by Eb, tehehe... ah I did have some great times back then)

Oh wow I can't remember when I came around. I seriously can barely remember the day before... lol. It's been a long time though, I know that much. Not as long as you senior citizens of the Nightmist world but still a good amount of time.
