Taken from the README file of the client:

Stendhal

---

Are you looking for adventure? Want to fight for riches?
Develop yourself and your social standing? Meet new people?
Do you want to be part of a brave new world?

Stendhal is a fully fledged multiplayer online adventures game (MMORPG) developed using the Arianne game development system.

Stendhal features a new, rich and expanding world in which you can explore towns, buildings, plains, caves and dungeons.
You will meet NPCs and acquire tasks and quests for valuable experience and cold hard cash.

Your character will develop and grow and with each new level up become stronger and better. With the money you acquire you can buy new items and improve your
armour and weapons. And for the blood thirsty of you; satisfy your killing desires by roaming the world in search of evil monsters!

Stendhal is totally platform independent, written using Java 1.5 and the Java2D environment.

So what are you waiting for?! A whole new world awaits…

Nothing like zelda.

So, what? Is this another ‘Graal’, basically?
…lets see someone here try it, we needed something to review/ignore for a long time. …I guess?

I did try it.
it has gridbased movement,
click commands,
turnbased combat,
and you have to type in ‘hi’ to talk to npcs.
It’s honestly more like a generic rpg on byond.

It does however have an engine one would want to take a look at.

Possibly this could create something completely different.

turnbased combat

I wish those rats would knew it and wait their turns.
