Bah. At least there is Legerdemain; in the long run I’ll be happier with it anyway, most likely.

Seems like the Twilight server has been taken down, sadly. :/

That is, a “Network Error: Connection timed out” message.

I’m not having any luck logging into Twilight with PuTTY. I put the address and port listed at RogueBasin in as well as turned off line editing and… I get an error message every time. What gives?

I logged into Twilight.

Turns out, that capital H had been dragged there by some unfortunate souls. I made an archer and killed it at level 2; it took only a few arrows to take down. Once the level 20 H was out of the way, the game was a lot of fun. I made it to level 15 rather quickly and died only once.

I discovered that it is possible for archers to kill town guards and get free XP off of them. It’s fairly fast leveling, though you get no rewards for it.

Unfortunately the game server went down and I’ve been unable to reconnect. I’d love to play this with a few friends, especially since some of the monsters and areas are really tough alone.

I can say this: Taking down a high level red dragon with a composite bow is pretty sweet, especially when you’ve only got 105 HP and the dragon has 308.

@Jim

if you wanna a multiplayer roguelike, you should try “Wyvern” ( http://www.cabochon.com/ ) i know it is graphical, but it has a deep gameplay :) I spend long time there.

@Slash

you left out Dungeon Crawl Stone Soupe 0.4.3 from 01.Aug , the last two Release Wire’s :)

I was so excited about the idea of a multiplayer roguelike…

…

……..it’s got a LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way to go.

I downloaded putty, telnetted in, registered, logged in, and then died 9 or 10 times from a green capital H who kept charging at me again and again. There needs to be some common sense inserted into the world before I’ll waste my time again.
