About the Game Server on www.deliantra.net

This Deliantra server is located in southern germany and has a fast connection :)

Its main purpose, besides being fun to play, is to demo the specific versions of the server, archetypes and maps used by Deliantra. All files can be freely downloaded via CVS on the the Deliantra project page.

It is especially suited for beginners who do not want to experience a very sharp and frustrating learning curve and party players who want to play together more easily.

• Death is not permanent.
• Death causes no stats depletion and little experience points loss. When you survive the test of gods you get away with no experience loss, even.
• Friendly fire causes no damage.
• 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.
• The maps can be viewed interactively at maps.deliantra.net.
• Player-killing is allowed, but only when both players are hostile. To change your hostile setting, you have to visit the church of valriel or the church of gorokh.
• Map and graphics artists are working on improved graphics and new maps and quests.
• The server is monitored 24 hours/day and will automatically be restarted in case of any problems.
• You can reach the admins via IRC: server irc.schmorp.de (alternatively irc.plan9.de), channel #schmorp, user(s) schmorp elmex.
• You can reach the admins via E-Mail: support@deliantra.net.
• We are sometimes running the release, sometimes a CVS snapshot. If you encounter problems, feel free to report it.
• Player files and other variable data is backed up every 15 minutes to a remote location, backup history for 3 months is available.

Game Server (special) features

• 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.
