I just came back to this game quite recently, and I haven't the slightest about what Nightmist II is. Fill me in?

[Sean]

Project JLH and Pandilex say thier working on. Going to be Pay to play.

[Sailormoon]

Now would the original Nightmist still be up?

[Sean]

Yes.
EDIT: But it would be on the secondary server or whatever. Meaning possibly more lag.
EDIT AGAIN...:And there wont be as much updates done to normal Nightmist, JLH and Pandilex will concentrate on Nightmist2

i just laughed when i heard about Nightmist 2, then laughed some more when i heard pandi was working on it.

[Sailormoon]

Wow. What a ridiculous idea.

[Bubba]

i say we dont make an NM2 and just work hard on NM2

? No comment on that...

Anyways... Wasnt Pandilex, Lan from RoK, the only one to ever get fired by whats his face because he sucked?

[Matt]

Don't hold your breath people.. Take a look at OS and Prophet..

Why fix something that's not broken!! JLH doesnt have that hard of a time paying for the games upkeep, and if he did he could always make nightmist 1 p2p

[combusta]

lol i think NM community would pay to not have the game P2p

ill give like $50 mayb more(thats enuff 2 buy like a ps2/xbox game)

and im sure im not the only one

nope, pandilex has never worked for rok (neither have i before you ask)

we are making nm2 because we want to try out new things which can't be done on nm1

[jurian]

do a forum search

[Caution]

yeh why have nightmist 2, Im sure if they put there minds to it they could think of a fanastic way to keep nightmist a great online RPG

[Crane]

The areas in Nightmist II, I hear, will be designed for single-alt use, and the game itself will likely have features that are not possible with the current Nightmist without a complete overhaul.

Of course, nothing is set in stone yet.

[Bahashabeem]

Well I decided to look in seeing as school has finally died down. We should just have a total reset again and have NM2 hehehe that sounds liek more fun and I really enjoyed the whole year after the reset

[Rappy_Ninja]

tbh I think reset would be pretty gay and I dont play anymore would be fun for awhile but the probs just repeat itself thus reason nm2 is being totally diffrent

[EvilDognapot]

should there be a faq for this stuff? because i swear i've seen this dialogue about a dozen times.

[Sailormoon]

Just a few points I want to make.

Was there a poll that was cast for the ordinary Nightmist I players to see whether or not they are in favor of a Nightmist II? Because if not, I have a good feeling from my replies that you won't recruit many players.

Also, I want to put in my two cents on the fact that I do not believe that if you are going to go with NMII, why should NMI players that are poor irl have to suffer wit heven more lag and such? I can see that if it is unavoidable if you are hosting two games simultaneously, but I'm not in favor of it in the first place.

[Crane]

I believe JLH and Pandilex decided that Nightmist II would be pay-2-play from the start (and there was plans for the current Nightmist to be pay-2-play as well, the last remnants of that being erased in the last update). But other than that, nothing is set in stone; what they decide to put in the game is likely to change.

This topic has a bit more on Nightmist II.

[JLH]

with the recent work on the servers at the weekend, and with the recent speed increases by NTL, lag is probably not going to be an issue (as can be seen by the bandwidth graphs on the website)
if it is, then being as it's a p2p game, it is feasable to get another cable line that could solely be used for nm2.
nm2 will have a short period of free open beta for players to basically trash it and find all the bugs, then a deletion of all accounts will be done and paid-for time will begin.

[Bubba]

I seem to remember Pandilex being called Lan by someone who came from RoK and tried playing Night mist. And Lan is about the only person who got fired from RoK. *Shrugs* If you say so, then i guess he isnt Lan. Whatever.

[EvilDognapot]

i thought pan was inquisitor in that game. can't remember though, it was way back.

[Momba]

When Opal Spheres was in devolpment there was a link from the main page that offered a forum as well as some screen shots. Is NM2 at a point where you can do that? Just so we might get a peek

/t Sailormoon I have no doubt NM2 will be a success. I myself will come out of retirement to play along with many other players. Crane pointed out that many of the areas are being designed for single alt use. Now I don't know who he sleeps with to get his info, but he is usually right. So even a poor hustler can afford NM2 if each character in an account costs roughtly 1 US dollar per month (that is a price thrown out there in an earlier topic by JLH).

Thanks JLH for atleast responding even tho you always seem to manage to avoid the big question.

When is the exspected release date?

Weeee! If anyone can break a game it's me! I mean really, how many people can have the issues I've had the past week or 2?

P2P NM isnt going to be like Uber expensive, wasnt int IIRC like 50p per crit a month or somthing and well thats not alot of money

[Pandilex]

No screenshots/previews/etc of Nightmist II will be given at all, simply because it's going to take ages for it to be made. Neither of us really have a lot of free time, and it's coming up to the end of University for me so life is extra hectic.

However I reckon within 2-3 weeks I should have something very interesting to reveal...

[Steam]

/me listens intentily for 2-3 weeks


Edit: oh and also

payment would be for credits, which can be put on any crits in your account

There thats how it will rok

[archmaster]

okay, i really want to see NM2 and all, but plz don't reset NM, that would suck

[Zelimos]

reset nightmist 1, it needs it in MY opinion.

Nightmist 2 is a good idea. There is nothing wrong with making another game, people do it all the time. Nightmist 1 is pretty much at the end of it's development line i think. Is there really much more you can add to it?

I did hear a rumour about not being able to put many more map areas in.
