MAngband

A change of strategy will see frequent and small incremental changes to the game. This is the first of these new MAngband releases. This release brings combining of wands and staves and stacking of rods, you won't find the same artifacts over and over again, and some other small changes. Full list o...

A new version of the Windows client is available in the downloads area. This is a bug fix release, mostly fixing the crash on chat and problems with saving config files. This version doesn't need administrator access to install. Full change list is here . We recommend you uninstall your current clie...

Rumour has it that the Temple has found a supplier for Potions of Healing.

Artifacts are now automatically removed from inactive players. The server (main server, not ironman) frequently checks if any player character has been inactive for more than 60 days, if so, any artifacts are removed from that character and put back in the game. At the time of this post there are no...

20 years of MAngband! 10 years since the last website rebuild! We've built a brand new website from the ground up which will hopefully cover us for the next 10 years! The old website is still online at mangband.org:81 for a while.

The old IRC channel is abandoned and we've set-up home in Discord, a modern alternative. We've integrated the game servers into the Discord server and a new mangbot provides the old features such as monster and artifact information, in-game chat, etc.

Registration of nicks on freenode is optional. But if someone else registers the name you normally use, you may find yourself unable to use it. Although you will still be able to use similar names. For example, I can't use "Jug" because it's already registered, so I use "Jug-".

I don't know what to think about this. A bug? A feature? It's a bug fix :-) After the move from turn based to realtime the question arises "how the hell do we implement running?". The original answer was to simply give the player a temporary speed boost, and this is what we've had for ten years. As...

Is this a one time effect? Or will artifacts disappear continuously from inactive players?

This is an on going policy and will continue. The removal of artifacts from inactive players isn't a completely automatic process (yet) so inactive players may get a few extra days grace here and there.

On behalf of the MAngband Project Team I would like to congratulate our winners! Congratulations to King Turin who won in September with a Dwarf Priest! (The first winner of this instance) Congratulations to Queen Zal who won twice (!) in October, once with ZalMagus a Hobbit Mage and then again with...

Me and... I think it was fink, did set up a proof-of-concept telnet server for MAngband some time back. Mainly we tried it because it's such a popular thing with nethack. It did work, albeit not too well, it would need someone to spend some time getting it working perfectly. But it is possible. Some...
