* MemorialCharacter: Izchak Miller, a principal developer, was memorialized as Izchak, the keeper of the lighting store in Mine Town, from version 3.2 onwards after he died of complications due to cancer. Many players avoid harming the in-game Izchak out of respect, even if their usual tactic is to kill everything in sight.

* DevelopmentHell: Version 3.6.0 took ''12'' years to come out. During that time, the source code for additions they did wasn't available because it was developed under the "cathedral model" of open source development where the development source code is not put up for public access, so it was often assumed that there never ''would'' be another update.
