1) Level all characters you have in your account to 30.
2) Start new characters, new classes, different stats.
3) Build low level teams to go to lvl specific areas such as : Natura, Catacombs, Necro Tower, Swamps..
4) Pk!
5) Level a pacifist, role-play the pacifist, try to assist other players with either protecting them from being pked, or leveling low levels while they train.
6) Collect keys from every monster that drops a key.
7) Roll new characters.
8) Go to bosses
9) Try to obtain rare boss drops by killing the boss repeatedly(i.e captain/hedge/time knight)
10) Play flea market (By this I mean go around selling your boss drop items/keys you obtained)
11) If you trust someone, and they trust you perhaps get some training jobs for extra cash.
12) Join weekly events.
13) Mosh!
These are a few I can think of for the moment, lol. In my opinion there are still plenty of things to do in game.

I started lobbying against this more than two years ago, and nothing has ever eventuated, eventually I gave up.
Meanwhile, Jen, no offense, those suggestions are fine 'in a perfect world', however, Nightmist isn't a perfect world.

The major ones that come to mind:
- #12 and #13 for non US/ENG/CAN residents. Yeah right.
- #6 would be fine, if there weren't 99 other people with 99 alts with them trying to do the exact same thing.
- #8 is just a joke that I need not elaborate upon.
- #10: See #6 and #8.

See that's not exactly true..take Jurian for example..he's like every pkers dream..about 15 alts, usually has gold on him yet he manages to get his characters to 30, why? because he finds good places to train and avoids the pkers. Do the same and you will succeed.

Yeah, that's IF I could log onto that many alts. Not everyone thinks that... pk'ing is neccessary.. more like fed up. Do you know how hard it is to find a spot... where there isn't someone trying to pk you..?! I haven't trained bigger alts in years due to it.

It's quite easy actually.. Maybe you just aren't looking hard enough. Anyway like I said previously..those are just a few of the things I do in game in order to keep myself occupied on morts. You don't have to listen to me. They were just suggestions.

It's actually quite easy and I've only been playing for a week, I've found a perfect spot quite close to Nightmist that is brilliant for training, although I won't tell you since everyone will start going there. Just exert some effort and actually look instead of pregnant doging about it, Pk'ers can't be everywhere.
---------------------------
If people who have levelled to 30 are bored can't staff make a few areas that only lvl 28, 29 and 30 can enter and have specific quests in those areas that only someone that skilled would be able to accomplish.

28 to thirty areas i think are a great idea........ mainly cos everyone in that area is fair game for pking, its gonna be good for gold and exp for level 28s and also it could turn into the turfland for warfare all those power hungry people would love........... ill get right on designing it......... thanx for the ideas there guys. it'll be huge it'll be worth it, it'll be where the big boys go to play.

Only problem with an area like that, is that the balence between them being too hard and too easy is very fine. If it's made for a set number of arches to be able to complete the area, add a couple more crits, and the area's already very easy, you need some sort of variable difficulty. Possibly something which works out how many characters are entering a grid, and then allocates a number of monsters specific for that party? Example:
You went east, upon reaching the area, three more guards have rushed in. - For a party of three crits.
If you design an area like the Gnome Caves, it's great, unless you only have afew characters in the party. The best idea is to have set levels.. Say, first floor = level 28+ second floor = 29+.. And then only archmasters may enter the lowest floor, with it being much harder than the others too..
Another problem, is that with the added difficulty of the area, people will want there to be a great reward from it.. But doesn't that just increse the gap betwee rich and poor? Those who can afford a load of characters and those who're new and may only have one archmaster character.

You could set that particular area for no alts or a limited number of alts, or as you said, have a grid restriction so only a certain number of crits may be on a square at a time.
Only design the areas for a few crits, I mean you aren't going to have many people with hundreds of archmaster alts.
People shoudn't expect a larger reward than normal, it is reward enough that they get a specialised area to train and battle high-level crits. They shouldn't complain especially when the staff would go to a lot of trouble to design this area specifically for them because as you said the line between hard and easy is fine, it will take a large effort to define that line. The players should be grateful, not complaining because they don't get enough gold.

If it becomes a mass burial ground for egos then thats reward enough. Im also think of an open style area but have certain squares that can only have like 3 characters on but make it random along those rules so that random running away during battle is going to cause chaos, with the area being so large it will be hard to define what each square is going to have as a limit, traps everywhere etc etc. There will be bosses and things to do but the main idea i was going to design was going to be mainly as a gangland area. The rewards will be good enough to entice but only the hardest and the most intelligent fighters would succeed.
As for the gap between rich and poor, as with life the gap is only such because of 70% hard work. Im not saying all money and crits have been gained lawfully but most have and the way to better yourself is always to work hard and play harder. Effort rewards effort and money breeds from money. I aint rich but i have enough to get by and based on my time available to play im happy ive done my bit those who can spend hours logged on are bound to be richer and have more crits and to those i say well done as time spent = reward its as easy as that.
Sorry my posts seem long winded some times but i like to make sure my point is clear.

People complain a s**t load now so it wouldn't make any difference then would it.
---------------
To expand on the massive gangland idea there should be towns where pking is allowed in the streets, since there aren't newbies running around then it shouldn't be a problem, although there should be at least one town that is safe. But in the others your free game, one minute doing some shopping, the next minute lying face down in a pool of your own blood, should make life more exciting wondering who is just innocently walking the streets and who is going to pk you.
