Hence how its NOT mmorpg...Reason being that there will be a 'cap' on the server size around 250 or so (give or take a little), therefore not qualifying as a 'mmorpg', Unless we can get more server hosters AT A LATER DATE!
Now, for the game.
Here is a baseline...
The game is based off of Zelda, A link to the past.
The graphics are BASED off of The graphics in Zelda, LTTP, but they will be custom (meaning, we may use the same colors, and style, but it will be noticably different!)
-------Gameplay--------
Gameplay will be MUCH like Zelda, A link to the past.
Cutting bushes, fighting various enemies for loot and quests, as well as trying to save the world yet again.
-------Story-------
The -Unamed at this time- has put the world in chaos once again. They broke the Seal of Ascentas that were held by the 7 Gods. These Seals Provided the peace in the land.
The -Unamed at this time- Broke them into (Undiscussed number) of peices and scattered them throughout the land. Your role as a Legend of the land is to recover these seals and return them to the gods!
Each Seal provides a certain amount of strength to bring the -Unamed at this time- down..Go forth and begin your journey!
------ Features -------
GUI'less (meaning, all the gameplay (chat, inventory screen, everything) will be onscreen and transparent.
Cuttin bushes (bushes will be able to be cut and respawn after a certain amount of time)
Two Different Worlds (World In Ruins and World of Peace)
Advanced NPC's (Npc's will fire back at you with an assortment of projectiles, and maybe bosses will have special abilities, such as teleportation and such)
Many Unique quests
Treasure chest system
8 Person party system
Many Many Unique items based on class and level
Set items (Items of the set give you bonuses to your stats)
Unique items
Items color = Rarity
WORKING PAPERDOLL (If you don't know what paperdoll is, it is where if you equip and item, it changes your characters appearance
100% custom items, tiles, and sprites! Everything in the game will be BASED off of zelda, a lttp, but all tiles, items, and sprites will be custom to our game!
Many other features that will be discusses
---------Classes---------
From what i've sprited, There are currently 4 classes
(Warrior-Style (Of course :p)
(Bowyer)
(Priest)
(Ninja-STYLE class)
Okay, now for some graphics!

Haha nice an Elysium user, I used to make games with it a few years back, good times, very good times indeed. Anyways good luck with your game!
-
Sounds good! I didn't try the demo (I have a rule that I never download walking demos :P), but if you have all of those features in the game it should be great! Also, I was wondering if you have a regrow animation for that custom bush sprite. I'd like to see that :)

I actually never thought of the regrowth animation, But now that you mention it, I will probably do that ;)
------------------
Edit
------------------
We DID Start To Use Elysium, But we gave up on it after countless bugs, so We decided to make our own engine ;)
We are still using VB6, but it will be using DX8 (Elysium/Mirage uses DX7) which has alot of capabilities, but we will also use DX7 (Hybrid DX8/7) for the maps
:)

Awsome, whats a bowyer?
You should realy make some more original classes like Tamer-does anumal based attacks.

Bowyer - Like an Archer/Hunter/ Uses Bows
And the problem with that is that getting all the classes abilities set up :P
