Moria  author?While moria is in Ubuntu repositories, this version often fails to run on older Ubuntu based distributions. Compiling from the sources in the Ubuntu repositories seems to have the same result. But the moria package from the Debian repos runs and compiles fine. moria from Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty repos works.***Deep Within the Mines of Moria the Balrog awaits. You are tasked with defeating it. Moria is obviously based on Tolkien's works. Moria has other Tolkien creatures and characters and some Dungeon's & Dragons inspired content also (D&D itself was heavily inspired by Tolkien's works). The player may choose a Human, Half-Elf, Elf, Halfling, Gnome, Dwarf, Half-Orc, or Half-Troll character and a Warrior, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Ranger, or Paladin class (note some races cannot choose some classes). Delve deeper for the best treasures, but going deeper is riskier; one slip and the protagonist dies, permanently, no resurrections, savegame deleted. No going back to an earlier save either, doing so marks your file and all records of your character will vanish on game over or winning.

Moria is based on the design of Rogue (it is a clone that shares no code or data with Rogue) but has notable variations in gameplay. Most significant is the 6 shops on the surface that the protagonist may visit to buy [i]and sell[/i] equipment, supplies, armor, weapons, scrolls, books, potions, and magical items. The surface is only one screen in size, not really an 'overworld' like in Angband and other roguelikes based on this game. UNIX Moria also served as inspiration for the design of Diablo. Moria was created using VMS Pascal ("Moria") when Robert Alan Koeneke and Jimmey Wayne Todd found that Rogue, their addiction at the time, was not available on VAX-11/780 minicomputers. UNIX Moria (umoria) is a port of "Moria" written in C language. Many subsequent ports and forks of "Moria" were based on umoria. The original license permitting sharing and modification but not commercial use. At some point, an agreement was reached by every person who ever maintained Moria to release its source code under the GPL license. Linux umoria has since become the standard version of sorts and is even called "Moria" by the current maintainer. Although, it is still a actively maintained VAX/VMS game.

Arx Libertatis  ? (Arkane Studios;Zenimax;Arx Libertatis)2011The name is Latin and loosely means "Fatal Castle" and very literally means "The Castle of Fatal"
Likewise, Arx Libertatis means "The Castle of Liberty"***Arx Libertatis is a cross-platform port of the GPLed Arx Fatalis first-person
role-playing game. This package only includes the game executable - you will
also need the data files from the original game.

Besides the data files, this is all that is needed to run the game, but
installing the main arx-libertatis package to get the arxcrashreporter is
recommended.***[spoiler=Show install;close][media=youtube]RHN01tlPpjo[/media][/spoiler]

Topia Online author2013This Massive Multiplayer Online RPG aims to give all the game creation tools to the players and let them create their own content. Power to create is granted and revoked to users by other users. This is supposed to ensure no one gets to powerful. Characters are always online, even when players are not. Certain game rules are in place to protect the characters from off-line attacks but not to the point that these characters do not stop participating. Users can create minions to take care of jobs that might be classified as grinding. The developers same there is no grinding in the game (and if players grind anyhow, it is of no advantage). Advancement is gained through social interaction, not PvP. PvP is definitely allowed, but players killing players is disadvantageous. Players don't just create the forces of evil, they are the forces of evil if they so choose. Since players make the rules, slimes could seek to take over the world just as zombies, dragons, or a dark wizard might. Slimes, Molds, and Gelatonus cubes can theoretically become just as powerful as a 9-Headed Mithral-plated Crystaline-Gold Phase Dragon Lich King. Each game server begins with a randomly generated world suitable to be shaped, molded, modified, populated, and ruled by the players that enter it. Simple world building, moving trees, placing monsters, is done simply. Access to the game is a one-time payment, no subscriptions, no payment for additional content, no pay-to-win marketplace. A gains in the game use in-game currency (called influence) earned though social interaction. Players with more skills will write scripts and make the animations. These are offered in an in-game marketplace where less skilled players can buy them and perhaps modify them. Art is likewise offered. labelminimizesubject
