Bought time the week is over. I thought this week would never end! Seems Nexus had a pretty busy week too. I have a huge list of updates to post about here for you to read! Also, please send me feedback on the format and what you would like to see in the news! I need to know what YOU as the viewer want, so I can provide more!!! | |||
The biggest news was that Angel Hae was fired due to sitting within the Chongun circle for a half hour. According to Kismet's post on Community board, Angel's have two jobs : To Help Newbies, and to Arrest Abusive Peasants. Apparently he had no authorization to be in the circle, and elder Gildenstar reported him for it. Kismet also noted there were some other small infractions. It's a tragedy to lose such another great immortal. So what have we at NexNet done? Simple. Hae, like Mitzi, will be an official room moderator in the Nexus Network Chat Room!! So be sure to drop in and say hi to Hae =). | |||
Kismet announced on Dreamweaver a ton of new cool updates. First and most importantly the new helms coming. He said the vote of 453 people (wowza) was very tight, and that different looking helms was the winner. So, he went over to the Korean artists and asked for some NEW ones. I'd love to show them to you, but they aren't even in the client yet, which means you'll see these exclusive helms the same time I do. When is this? Kismet says he "hopes" this monday, October 2nd. Its safe to say that date is accurate. Nexon has been "better" with deadlines lately. | |||
Spawn Rates was another concern that Kismet posted about and he said it should be back to normal. Thats a relieving thing to hear. Nothing like clearing a room in Dog 3 and having to wait 10 minutes to see another Dog. And the mess the other day that crashed the server like 15 times.. wehoo.. | |||
Carnages are once again fixed (what exactly are they doing to fix this?). They say things have been corrected, again. I assume it probably has to do with lag issues, but its doubtful that with such a large number of people in a small place, that there is much they do can about lag for us 56kers. | |||
Improved crafting was once again mentioned. Things such as special ways to cut Gems and special powders to use when smelting are among the many new cool ways to craft! Kismet keeps posting that hes the ONLY one who knows what does what... and he won't be telling anyone. Guess we'll have to find out won't we? Have any suggestions on the best way to craft? Send em in! | |||
His last part of the update post simply listed some "cosmetic" issues that needed to be cleaned up, like the fate's blade graphic, and the Emotion D (love emote) that should be occuring when you eat special church treats, but are not... He concluded with "too many to list", so the rest are probably just minor. | |||
I was thinking yesterday. Does anyone from 3.0 Remember THOR? He used to run around in a Sky Cloak, with Jewels of Grace on and a Goblin's Club. He had Grin's face. If you have old shots of Thor, the mysterious Nexon char who appeared now and then, please send them in. I wanna compile a photo report for the newer players to see. | |||
Speaking of Photo reports, from what it looks like, its safe to say you'll be seeing about 10 new photo reports on the 4.8 layout, in addition to the revamped ones. The 4.8 update is running smoothly, and I hope to be able to put up all the old sections by Tonight, and finally start on the new stuff.. Man, I can't WAIT to show you guys this new update!!! My current estimate on date is somewhere near the beginning of November. I won't upload until ALL My objectives are online. (For instance, I can't do the new newbie guide until Nexon releases the new newbie tutorial =P). | |||

Kismet served as GM of NexusTK from 1999-2000.
Although he was initially well liked by players for his ambitions to focusing on implementing new items, spells and playing areas to the game, he eventually became obsessed with cutting down on griefer activity.
This impossible task consumed him to the point the restrictions he placed on everything from spells to Sage began to negatively impact law-abiding players who did not grief.
For reasons unknown, he eventually resigned as GM and left employment with NEXON INC..
It is generally believed that Kismet wanted to do good as a GM, but he focused too much of his efforts on driving away a small % of the game community (the griefers ) who generally did not play the game for very long to begin with, and that was his greatest failing.
