I've started working on a new version of Dungeon Master, named Kingdom, after popular demand. You can find the hub for Kingdom here.

The game is a good game. Just isn't ever updated and has a few bad bugs.

This sourcecode is cool beans and I appreciate having a look at it. I'm wondering, though, if I were to do a little revamping, perhaps add a bit of NPC automation (something I've done before in my own projects) and a new GUI (this was released before the 4.0x skins were available) could I just hand it back to you for hosting? I'm not looking to steal your hard work or anything and I would like to honor any requests you have along these lines.

Since this game has no documentation and no in-game tutorial, and an awful interface, I can't really say whether it ever "gets good" because I couldn't figure out how to play it. And I don't really feel like I'm missing anything by never looking at it again.

Sadly, this is true. But wait until you see Ginseng's New Dungeon Master, because I think he finally has it right this time, and most of what you complain about in that comment has been fixed or is currently getting worked on by him. I'm sorry that when you tried this, your first impressions had to be only on the one or two mods hosted here, based off the original (and rather crappy) source code.

I've decided to change my New Version of Dungeon Master that I was working on, into a project named Kingdom. I've created a new hub for the game here - http://www.byond.com/games/Ginseng.Kingdom?tab=index

I just joined BYOND today, and it was my friend that persuaded me too. He also reccomended this game, but I want to know... How long till the next switch to play on a server?

Too easy to kill the NPC's on here. Killed a whole town and the Human Noble solo, all i had was a bone sword and bone armor. Only got hurt at the very last person, (one of the guards.)

Its a damn shame how this game has changed over the years. It went from Lizards Vs Orcs to Admin OPd Units Vs Admin OPd Units. Its really sad looking at how the quality of gameplay just plunged into darkness. It will enver be the same, like most games, the Admins truely ruined it.

The more recent Doctors Mod is probably the last hope for this game as nobody really cares about it any more. Sadly, the Host, Doctor, has his periods and faults. I was banned for finding two glitches that were in plain view that prevented me from leveling, but thats my fault correct? The Admins are fucking bat shit, exsept Ohm.

PS - Ginseng, if you read this, host again bro, weee neeeedd yoouuu.

i totally agree with Commander Cookies. If anything please start a server with fair gameplay instead of some OPd server were everyone just randomly kills others for no particular reason. Please someone listen to our suggestions. i also agree with Commander Cookies that the doctors mod may be are last hope... but i dont agree with Doctor being Cookies fault for doing so. You should atleast be thankful for his help Doctor!

Just a reminder, I've created another version of Dungeon Master from scratch and named it Kingdom. It's like old DM, but the icons have changed and there's the option of complete automation, just like Dwarf Fortress.

I've not been able to code it the last two weeks due to computer problems, but as soon as my computer is back from the shop I'll continue work.

Used to be good. Not worth it anymore. Waiting for Kingdom.
