hi I'm a new player and ive played MUDs when I was younger..and also a big fan of NWN 1 persistent worlds

my question is...I don't know which to choose and ive never played before...tomenet / mangband/ or pwmangband?

i'm looking to play a roguelike with a persistent world setting..and RP enforced (if that's even possible) with open world pvp

can anyone help me?

All dungeon lvls are generated on player entry if they were empty, if you leave lvl, wait a couple of second, they will generated new layout.
Only position of dungeons on worldmap is permament.
I think mangband is the same in this matter.
what do you mean by RP?

Pvp option are kinda limited. you can only fight player after reading certain scroll, or some make special type character for pvp. but in this case you can only fight in arena in tomenet.

loads of MUDs would give you such experience :D TomeNET also have wide possibilities for RP, but PvP isn't really popular unfortunatelly. I've made suggestion to make it more often - https://tomenet.eu/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1349 please support it :D

MAngband is dead. PWMAngband isn't dead, there even is a new version out and if you need something, ask the maintainer (that would be me ;) ).

PvP is easy as changing a server option: by default, it's set to "both players need to agree for PvP", but you can set it to "setting hostile sets PvP on", or even "everyone is hostile by default".
