You could have a few players on a level at the same time by using an Initiative system, anything more and Nethack would change out of all recognition. Hence you could probably make a really cheap board game, potentially a 2-4 player Deathmatch mode with a lot of balance issues, but not a Massively Multiplayer Online Rogue-Like Game.--[[User:PeterGFin|PeterGFin]] 18:58, 14 December 2010 (UTC) | You could have a few players on a level at the same time by using an Initiative system, anything more and Nethack would change out of all recognition.

So what changes would have to be made to nethack in order to make in a online multi player game. i know there is a demand for it but obviously the game would haveto be changed up quite a bit. What do you think would be the neccesary chages in order to make multiplaying feasible/Ndwolfwood 17:58, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
- To change nethack to work as multiplayer, you'd have to change nethack. Pretty much all of it. The original diablo is somewhat an example of this; I've heard that it was made as an experiment along the lines of "what if we take the delay out of Nethack?" -- Qazmlpok 17:49, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
what does delay mean?Ndwolfwood 17:58, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
