MAngband 1.5.0 is scheduled for release on April 1st 2019. That means two things:
You have 2 weeks to finish off your regular/ironman characters on main servers and make it to the 1.1.4/1.4.0 highscore table.
You have 2 weeks to report any bugs or anything else, that is not to your liking on the preview server.
Join the beta test!

Re: MAngband 1.5.0 beta test
Hi,
can we keep the current chars for v1.5?
It was no problem to keep/convert them from v1.1.3 to v1.4.
I dont see a technical problem and the arts were reseted just shortly ago.
Otherwiser a longer remaining time would be more player friendly.
Thanks.

Re: MAngband 1.5.0 beta test
Hi, I think it's doable, technically, as the savefile format has not changed that much, but the new version re-balances things quite a bit, so it wouldn't be fair to keep old and new characters together, on the same HighScore table.
If it's any consolation, we aren't planning to reset the instances for the subsequent 1.5.X releases, so a long-term (think 10 years) instance will be a thing once again. (Unless something goes horribly wrong)

Re: MAngband 1.5.0 beta test
IIRC I have 3 chars remaining on the server, one was my castle holder which lost everything when the server savefile was wiped, one is a priest I was just using for clairvoyance and one was a HT mage that lost all artifacts and therefore was rendered useless. All of them don't have the consumables to even attempt a morgy fight (were stored in house -> wiped), so I'll leave them to die with the server.
New instance with new version should be great!
