Sorry about this guys, I really let you down.
Once University is settled down I
will finish this. It doesn't need much to get it online (though obviously the content makes the game). A basic shell will be online in a few weeks, if all goes well.
I am not sure how to handle trading, it will come to me eventually.
Now for questions...
Why pay for an RPG maker made game? :S
Why pay for a game which will cost money to host the servers for, has a lot of hours of my time put into it, is pushing to be different, and is hopefully going to be fun, you're right.
Why RPG Maker? You've obviously got a decent amount of skill to be able to hack the engine apart enough to handle a server-client system, so why not create something from scratch? It would give you a hell of a lot more control over things.
I have been making this game since 2006. Why has it never been released? In probably late 2007 I realised RPG Maker wasn't the best way to go, and spent the next three years trying to code my own system from scratch. It was painful and time consuming and in the end I got nowhere because one or two simple things were taking forever to do.
Hence I gave in and am now making this in RPG Maker. I'd rather have a fun game out there than a funner game never being released.
