Hey there, this is an old thread - but hopefully your still around!
I used to be quite a big fan of rpgs of the massivley multiplayer variety - and to make one would be fantastic! But one bit of philoshophy that I try to put into all my ideas is.. be different or theres not point in even starting.
I'm not sure if your aware of the game Secret of Mana for the Super Nintendo? Its about 10 years old now (feels old

) but is still exceptional and stands out above any other rpg.. Mainly because its
multiplayer and
realtime! This makes the way in which the universe works so much more "realistic" and hence more engaging.. I've always wanted to make an online version of this, ALWAYS...
I'm increadibly interested in helping you in this project, although of course if you would prefer to work alone I completly understand!
Cheers, and hope to hear from you!
