Frog-knows, only because of the hilarity in polymorphing a filthy street urchin into something like a Great Storm Wyrm...and then trying to figure out wtf to do about it.
You can level up characters very quickly because of that, or die very quickly.

I am trying to say NPP with a certain set of birth options is probably the closest thing out there to meet people's desire to combine Angband 2.8.3 gameplay with the current Angband UI. Agreed it is not an exact match either. Most of the NPP changes can be disabled with birth options. The only major change that would remain is 4gai. Which admittedly changes alot, but I can't think of any closer match unless somebody wants to spend months coding and combining the two versions. One big exception: the UNAngband terrain would be a major change. But that is actually a good idea for a birth option as well. I will add that in hte next couple weeks. If you played NPP with the default birth options, than it would be nothing like Angband 2.8.3. IIRC, you last played about 5 years ago?

I always change the code, as far back as removing haggling from Moria. I am familiar with the 3.0 code, so even if 2.9 is a bit better I might still play 3.0 because I think it would be easier for me to make changes to it. |

No, it is nothing like that. 309e was a major undertaking, where I did a lot of serious work.
For what I play now, I just made easy small changes to 309 to address the biggest faults that were addressed in 3.1. ID-by-use is a big deal, but *ID on walkover is a couple of lines. The green dots for trap detection radius were too much work, so I just made detections cover the entire dungeon. I wrote better squelch [easy], but never coded the unsquelch UI [hard], so one cannot afford to ever make a mistake squelching stuff. ![]() |

The thing i'm curious about though, is how many of todays active players have played the older versions of angband? It is certainly different and harder without the item descriptions, and less forgivable in the begining, I like 2.7.8, but is a lot slower game compared to V 3.3.2, which can be more fun because you can get to artifact level and stat gain pretty quick, wheras in the older versions you have to slowly scum and develop your character, newer players are probably turned off by this.
