I would describe that experience as sufficiently hardcore. I like the grim, gothic style monster icons and the black background. I did pretty well by attacking everything I saw until a ram killed me almost instantly. What determines monster strength? In the future if I avoid all rams would I do better, or are rams randomized?

All rams are the same. It only does 2-8 so you might have been damaged from before. Eat food and rest (not fight) to get back health. Ram is a level 2 encounter which you wouldn't find too close to the center. Further out, you will find 1st through 3rd level encounters. You needed to kill 4 more levels worth of things to go up a level.

This looks great, but for some reason isn't working for me. I can choose my character and the game starts, but then nothing I do does anything. If I click on the square I am standing in, four triangles come in and center on my character, but if I click away on any other squares, nothing. Also, it says 'Rather Loading...' above the chat window. When I tried to chat it accepted my input but nothing loaded in the chat window. Halp!

Oh, I tried it in Chrome, Firefox and IE, and I can actually see my other characters on the map even though I closed out the windows. Can't do anything though.
