For those who don't understand the title, I've been playing a game called NetHack for years. It's a sort of archetypical single-player RPG: start out with a weak character, explore dungeons, fight monsters, find loot, get stronger. The goal of nethack is to explore the whole dungeon, find the mysterious Amulet of Yendor, and offer it to your god

Congrats! I think this deserves "DING" in 48-pt font ;-)

I never really got into nethack, but have played moria, angband, and its assorted progeny for quite awhile now and never finished them. Same difficulties, albeit a very different feel from hack.

(I guess I shouldn't say *very* different, but the nethack devs certainly have more of a sense of humor)

Nice! Man, I still get my butt kicked in Kingdom of Loathing....

Congratulations! I always die at the bottom of the Gnomish Mines.

Thanks! I've lately been trying to play a bit at nethack.alt.org, where you can telnet in, and watch other people play in real-time for interesting views at how other people play the game.

Hi Caethan,

would you please update the link in the title? The NetHack wiki has moved to http://nethackwiki.com.

Unfortunately, our old host has a policy of leaving the old site online as a trap to unsuspecting visitors. I would really appreciate your help sending people to the active wiki and taking our Google ranking with us.

The user base voted to move because of an intrusive new skin and a bad change to the terms of service. More detail: http://nethackwiki.com/wiki/NetHackWiki:Community_Portal/Archive4#New_.22Wikia.22_aka_.22Oasis.22_skin:_Problems.2C_legal_restrictions.2C_and_tweaks

Thank you,
Tjr (admin at the NetHack wiki)
