; I want to use Stendhal as a basis for my own RPG, can you help?
: Stendhal was written as a test case for marauroaMarauroa zone changes. Using it as a base game for an RPG is not advised. You will find a lot to do with our own map, quest, and NPC system is hardcoded. Using marauroa as a framework for your own RPG is what we advise.
; But, I can't write my own RPG, can I use Stendhal as a base and make my own maps?
: Ok, but please follow our conventions as you never know what is hard coded. And you will need to learn Java.
