Deliantra is a cooperative multiplayer RPG and adventure game for Windows/Linux/Mac Intel.
About Deliantra - the free MORPG
Deliantra is a free software (some people say: open source), cooperative multiplayer RPG and adventure game, much similar in style (and setting) to nethack and moria, but is fully graphical and runs in realtime. It is set in a classical medieval environment with ubiquitious weapons and magic.
What makes this game special is its depth and the sheer amount of maps to explore: The world is vast (multiple continents, over 4000 manually designed maps, hundreds of monsters and countless variations of generated content) and complex (16 unique races, 17 classes, 40 skills and hundreds of spells to choose from and combine with each other), so there is a lot to explore. The gameplay is open and sets very few limits on character development. And of course a lot of fun is to be had by playing cooperatively with others exploring the same world.
Game Server (special) features
Gameplay
* Death is not permanent, and you can get back all lost stats and experience by playing a game in a special place named Nimbus. You are teleported there when you die and you have to play a game (currently minesweeper) to get out.
* Friendly fire is disabled and playerkilling is also modified. You can only kill another player when you and the other player are hostile. To become hostile, you have to visit the church of Gorokh in Scorn and talk to the priest. To become peaceful again, visit the curch of Valriel and talk to its priest.
* Invitation of other players to where you are is possible with the invite command. You have to solve the invitor quest (see below in maps) to be able to use the command.
* You can follow other players with the follow command when you stand next to the player you want to follow.
* Pet monsters and summoned creatures will not stand in the way of other party members, making it bearable to play with summoning skills in a party.
* Map and graphics artists are working on improved graphics and new maps and quests.
* Trade shops have been implemented which allows the player to trade items even when they are offline.
