• challenging and unpredictable gameplay, with an emphasis on tactical skill
  
• meaningful decisions (no no-brainer, works-every-time-with-every-character play choices)
  
• grinding should be unnecessary, even discouraged
  
• a simplified and elegant interface, with a helpful tutorial and mouse support for new players
  

• clarity of design (playable without the need for external spoilers)
  
• thematic consistency (no lightsaber-wielding orcs)
  
• replayability and lasting challenge (with optional branches, multiple race/background/god choices, and optional challenges)
  
• proper use of out-of-depth monsters
  

• New god! Qazlal, God of Extremely Loud Elemental Destruction.
  
• Ranged combat has been completely reworked, and is now comprehensible by mortal minds. (It works just like melee now.) A set of new ranged weapons have been added to round things out.
  
• Inventory weight limits: gone.
  
• Item destruction: gone.
  
• Permanent equipment corrosion: gone. (Replaced by a temporary corrosion effect that's much more dangerous!)
  
• Also, many spells were reworked, many bad monsters were removed, new monsters, new unrands, and probably more things I’ve forgotten!
  

• People can spectate as you play, and with WebTiles' integrated chat window, spectators can now talk amongst themselves as well as with the game player
  
• Your game saves and play statistics are tracked centrally and are available from any computer
  
• Every game you play is recorded by the server, and can be replayed in whole or in part, or otherwise examined for later analysis, bragging, and mockery
  
• You get to meet and fight the ghosts of other players, rather than just your own
  
• You can play in the annual and version-release tournaments
