player ghosts

[daft]

Does anyone else miss the 'player ghost' feature of Angband past?

--For those who might not have experienced it, when a character died some of its stats, along with the character's name, would be saved in a file and it could reappear in future games as a zombie. It was a hoot!

Um maybe you should repost as a poll...

I vote YES!!! I miss @ghosts.

That would be rock hard awesome. I've never played a version with ghosts, and I would personally love to see it.

One day they'll come back, but I don't know when.

Count my vote for a BIG yes!

I'm all for player ghosts, but as in my previous post, I'd prefer my 1st level characters not get attacked on the town level by uber ghosts! Its a feature that I really miss, though.

I also miss Wormtongue dropping upto 8 excellent items.

That's funny...I would rather lose a 1st level character, right out of the gate, to a former self, rather than lose a high level character to one. I like the irony of going to the general store, buying the lantern, heading out to kill Morgoth, and getting whacked into the dust by a familiar looking zombie.

Time to roll a new character!

Yeah, used to get a real buzz when seeing a ghost with my name on! Meant you were in for a good fight with some nice items. Bring it back!

Since no one has voted against ghosts, I thought I should put my vote in. I'd really rather play Angband without ghosts. I think of ghosts as a Nethack thing. They work well in Nethack, but I don't think they would in Angband. Maybe have it as a birth option to have player ghosts. Birth options are a good thing, I like having a choice about this kind of thing.

I think this is a very PC solution This way everybody is happy and if your ghost kills you, you have no one to blame but yourself

weird, i think anyone wanting to die by their own (undead) hand , should just play NPP / FAA both of which IIRC (painfully!) have Player @ returning from the grave.
