I mean, was Toady ever seriously considering dropping it in the first place? Considering ASCII's been a cornerstone of the game since its inception and many fans still prefer it, he'd basically be shooting himself in the foot by doing away with it entirely.
mikekchar:
Well, ASCII in a terminal window is no longer available on Linux and I'm willing to bet it will never come back. The current display is just too wide to really work well. I'm also thinking that the current ASCII mode (which has problems precisely because the display is too wide), will eventually morph to essentially a graphics set that uses ASCII characters as the pictures. Ideally, it will have all the old ASCII features, but that the map tiles and UI tiles will have different fonts (and font metrics). However, that's a fairly big departure from the original ASCII game.
