Yay! Our server now got it’s new home:
http://angband.online
It was my dream for a long time: to have proper, truly online roguelike gameplay without cheating, stair-scumming, everlasting and other stuff with spoil the fun and habitate people to play ‘wrong’, non-roguelikish way, so after a while they loose interest to the game. No! In my opinion, online roguelike should propose different philosophy opposite to MMORPG boredom hoarder-simulators.
Roguelike – it’s just you, your skill, your guts.. and your freedom.
Freedom from fear of death. Freedom from fear ‘to loose’. Every adventure – counts. Every death – is an achievement. Every new character – is a happiness of unique exploration experience.
It’s came at last! Time to dive! You are welcome to join the game 😀
Our server features:
– permadeath mode only. Traditional roguelike experience.
– one character per account. It’s forbidden to have more than one account per person.
– disconnected stairs. Up/down staircases are not connected between levels to prevent stair-scumming.
– consensual PvP only: both players must be hostile to each other. No ganking
– limited ESP (makes telepathy work in a nearby radius)
– no_wilderness option. Quintessence of vanilla gameplay – just dive ™. Soon there would be a new update with hybrid gameplay – with simultaneous possibility to lurk in the dungeon depths from the start or go and explore wilderness on map which is based on ME
…and more are comming )
To see how game looks like – my past stream (there are also update of my ‘metamodern’ haircut lol):

For those too lazy to watch videos, can you tell me how the multiplayer aspect is handled (in a turn-based game)?
-
Speaking literally, it's is fast-paced turn-based game. But turns happens on real-time basis - something like every second is one turn passes.
Every turn player and monsters could make a move (perform an action). Drinking a potion, for example, drain only part of 'energy' from the turn. Having +speed items give possibility to perform more action at short period of time.
Easiest way to see how turns run - to equip torch and check 'e' several times in a row - you would see how amount of turns decrease on it.
To handle 'real-time', your character automatically fights in melee nearby enemies and all you need to do is approach them; magic spells and shooting has to be done manually thought, but also you could assign macro to perform actions faster and effectively.
