I've finally found a game that is actually better than DCSS!


If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

Re: I've finally found a game that is actually better than D

The religions are way more fleshed out and interesting than DCSS (which is of course saying a lot), but alas, the gods don't seem to give any visible abilities (some players even argue whether the gods are useful at all). (There were some legendary players who are said to be bestowed with truly powerful invocations, which might be an indication that the gods actually give something real but with very tight requirements.)

Moderators are damn near impossible to find, if they exist at all. And no one's heard from the devs in years.

The possible server shutdown somewhere in 2012 may indicate that an update is due. So there may still be hope.

Did you realise that that game is so enormous that you can even play Crawl in it? It's like some sort of metagame!

The game also contains that one system that is reputedly more obnoxious than cooking (although a mastery in cooking can help you through it): marriage.

It has the most amazing cocktail mixing I have ever seen in a a game. It's better than the cocktail mixing in The Kingdom of Loathing.

Re: I've finally found a game that is actually better than D

I'm a little conflicted about this game. On one hand, there is an awful lot of grinding involved (unless your funded). On the other hand, the graphics look so real. Either way, I'm addicted to it. Still on my first character!

I tried to pvp in town and the gm killed me and banned my account.
I don't like this game.

Actually I found one:
Osmos.

Incredibly simple, incredibly hard, a really beautiful interface.
An indie game that has linux compiled versions (and some for those other systems), and is only $10

That's because most of the players are playing DgSomething characters. Mostly DgWn I guess.

I heard there was a lot of commotion over some PKing during a Let's Play of a HuDK.
