 When ascending from level 1 with the [[Amulet of Yendor]], one is transported immediately to the [[Endgame (3.0)|Astral Plane]]; the [[Elemental Planes]] do not yet exist.  The Astral Plane is different from the modern game, having mazes and powerful monsters instead of the denizens of the modern version.

 The NetHack 3.0 series is notable for its frequent releases, and NetHack 3.0.5 came out only weeks after [[NetHack 3.0.4]].  This is perhaps because [[NetHack 3.0.0]] so vastly expanded the game that it contained many bugs.
 Notable new features include:
