Well, some of you know my (perhaps ill-conceived) disliking for 3.6.x. Maybe it's just that I feel like we're playing without a net now, now that we're in a different version than the one that's been around for decades.

I personally tried 3.6.0 and decided that most of the changes were unnecessary and intrusive. I know I'm in the minority here, but I decided to stick it out with 3.4.3 as long as possible, or until I saw a real improvement in the latest version. Now, I have windows binaries of both 3.4.3 and 3.6.0 on my computer, but I normally play on Alt dot Org, because I like the set of mods (I rely on healthbar, for one thing) and because I enjoy getting other player's bonesfiles and having a community leaderboard.

(And I have no access to the software and the expertise to compile a custom version, by the way.)

I was glad, of course that NAO was keeping 3.4.3 as an option, and I was more than a little disappointed when it was announced that it was being removed at the end of this month.

Does anyone know of any other public telnet servers that offer a similar mod package and setup to NAO, but that haven't gone to 3.6.x?

If not, I'll just get over it and transition to the new version, of course.
