It lives!
Even the English world score server still exists:

They just told me today https://github.com/hengband/hengband/issues/2015 that the English world score server is "no longer in operation"--I got a 500 Internal Server Error when trying to submit a (low) score. Apparently you can use the --disable-worldscore parameter with ./configure to turn it off in your build.
They said it was because "there is little demand for it." Maybe it more of us play they'll be inspired to turn it back on. : DComment

Was the world map changed in recent versions? It's been a while since I played base Hengband, but it looks similar to the one in 1.6.x - 1.7.x versions.Comment

Hengband's version.txt (https://github.com/hengband/hengband...lp/version.txt) suggests Hengband 1.0.7 came from Zangband 2.2.8. I went looking in Zangband's source history (https://github.com/NickMcConnell/Ang...mmits/Zangband) but the only world map I could find there started in 2.2.1 (https://github.com/NickMcConnell/Ang...dit/w_info.txt), and is just this tiny thing:
Code:# Wilderness layout W:D:########## W:D:#GGGGMVMM# W:D:#GGG5GGMM# W:D:#GGG|GGGG# W:D:#GGG1-2GG# W:D:#GGDD|DGG# W:D:#WSFF6FFS# W:D:#WWSSSSSS# W:D:#WWWWWWWW# W:D:##########

Ah, going back to the initial version of the world map in 1.0.7alpha (https://github.com/NickMcConnell/Ang...t/w_info_j.txt), no, it has not changed ever.

And then I think even some of Zangband's documentation says the wilderness came from Kangband, but do you actually walk through wilderness between towns in Kangband? I see wilderness-like areas around the edges of towns, but beyond them, at the edges of the map square, is a big wall.Last edited by smbhax; February 5, 2022, 13:44.Comment

I'm glad you said that; I figured as much since I couldn't find a key to "zoom out" like you can in Hengband, but I wasn't sure I wasn't just missing the command.
