This game is, among other things, an experiment in how far an inexperienced programmer can get using their own abilities and as much freely- available content as possible. This page contains a list of free content used and its sources.
All content not listed below can be assumed to be copyright me, unless it's yours and I forgot to credit you. Sorry.
More specifically, all code is copyright me except for a few specific functions, and all contents of the game database are copyright me except for content generated by users.

My original inspiration for a class-free tile-based browser MMORPG was, of course, the inestimable Urban Dead by Kevan Davis.
As a large-grid tile-based game, this game inevitably owes a legacy to Nethack, ADOM and other roguelikes. I hasten to add, however, that I am no expert on these games, and indeed my life playing time on such probably does not exceed about 2 hours.
The CSS style used is based on Nightshades by JMorris, taken from the Open Web Design site.
Further modifications are made by me.
The pre-release style used was Purple Beauty by Dieter, taken from the Open Web Design site. While most of the style elements from that design are no longer applied, some of the page setting methods remain.
Animated banner adapted from the Fire animation of the Blender Public Domain Texture CD.
Many tiles were adapted from the Abigaba tileset for roguelike games.
Other tiles were from a variety of sources, which temporarily escape me. Will update when I track down their origins.
