I'm probably going to be stoned for this so I will make it brief.
What was Nightmist's original purpose? I mean, what was going through your head when you decided to make Nightmist? Was it divine inspiration or the spawn of utter and complete boredom?

How many times did you get in a 'bind' while programming it? Not knowing how to do one thing.
How many times were you about to give up?

a few times, we've come across problems with working out the best way to do things, but we do work it out in the end.
if you mean nightmist as a whole, we have never wanted to give up with it, certain parts of nightmist that people thought we were going to add have not been added, but i wouldn't say that is "given up", more that we have better ways of doing it planned for the future.

Last question!
Is your coding well organized? or is it kinda cajumbled together?
I saw a 2000 line C++ program, and it was all unorganized. confused the hell out of me.

I'm betting they got the idea off Dungeons and Dragons 
Because for some reason it's like a short and simplier version of the online game itself.
Pandilex prolly knows what I'm talkin' 'bout

It is based on D&D, been said before.
And I think zMud is like RPG maker and such programs.

nightmist was written from scratch in visual basic.
zmud is just something pandilex was playing around with at the time to see what it could do.

zMud is an interface, it's a game client that can connect to any zMud server. Unlike the nightmist client, which is tailored for its own server, zMud was a client that could connect to any of a huge database of Mud games. When I first saw the idea of entering into a fantasy world in text form, and the amount of detail some people had gone into to create such environments, I felt inspired to make my own version.
