 The village of Stoneglow at evening (Linux, Beta4) Daimonin is a multiplayer online computer role-playing game that can be played as client server application in a LAN or on the Internet. Daimonin was developed as a fork of Crossfire and features an isometric graphics system. Daimonin continues the tradition of hack and slay Rogue-like role-playing games like Moria or Nethack, but like Crossfire puts more emphasis on free playing, free quests and NPC interaction.

Daimonin features many of the same abilities as Crossfire, but it also has many improvements. Daimonin adds a combat targeting system that focuses the attack on an opponent and will automatically attack each turn. It also removes the need to use say in a command to say something. Instead, the player merely types what he or she wants to say. In order to use a command, he or she must prefix it with a /, similar to IRC. Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a form of real-time Internet chat or synchronous conferencing. ...
Community Daimonin has a very active community. On its website, currently (May 2007) there are more than 130000 registered members, the main server hosts more than 32000 player characters.
Daimonin has a large, stable development community according to Ohloh[2]. Daimonin averages between 20 and 55 players on the main server at any given time[3]. Daimonin also has a list of comprehensive rules, and guidelines posted for player input and suggestions[4]. There are very few or no other articles that link to this one. ...
Source code vs. game environment Parts of the Daimonin world content are not available for download as free and open content; this has led to discussion of whether or not Daimonin is truly free and open source software. The source code for the game is completely free and open; however, this is to be distinguished from the current running instance of the game, which does have proprietary and closed source portions. As of beta 4, Daimonin has upgraded, with many new spells and a world which is over 20x that of the previous world. Free content is any kind of functional work, artwork, or other creative content upon which no legal restriction has been placed that significantly interferes with peoples freedom to use, understand, redistribute, improve, and share the content. ...
Open content, coined by analogy with open source, (though technically it is actually share-alike) describes any kind of creative work including articles, pictures, audio, and video that is published in a format that explicitly allows the copying of the information. ...
...
Precompiled binaries In order not to lose time supporting third party servers, Daimonin precompiled builds have also had the ability to connect to third-party servers disabled, inviting them to compile, distribute and support their own binaries.
