Not going with X-Realms for the moment.

*Sighs* Oh well...

I was thinking of using X-Realms for my new project, but there are some features that I really need, and this engine doesn't have. I'll probably have to go with a copy of MSE, and try to work on it myself. I'm almost sure that I'll be running into many problems, for lack of experience in VB6 programming. But maybe this is what I need to learn once and for all. I've been meaning to do that for so long. Now I have the chance.

It seems like not many developers are willing to add the paperdoll feature to their engines. And I'll respect that decision. But I need the damn paperdoll, so I'll have to go and try this myself. I don't care about the whole issue with the graphics. I'll make my graphics, or find them somewhere. There ARE options.
There are other things I need to add, or remove, for my game. Like I said in the previous post, this is going to be more of a visual chat client than an ORPG. I might have some of the typical gameplay. Maybe a place for PvP; equipable items, spells, NPC's, quests, player-to-player trading, etc. But you see, there are some things I really don't need, and I want to see if there's a way to remove them. For example, I'd like to have a different character creation process. I have an idea for it. Maybe I can find help somewhere, maybe not. If I can't, then I'll find something that's close to that. And if I can't do that either, then I'll manage somehow.

But like I said, there are options. I could also focus the game on social activities but still encourage the RPG aspect. You train with monsters with PvP battles as a goal. The majority of the equipable items would be for show-off. That's why I need the paperdoll. There will be a line for that type of clothing, and another for battle equipment (that would include weapons and shields).

But all of these are just ideas. I have yet to make decisions.

I'll still be around here, because I like this community. I like it better than any other similar places I have joined. :)

If you need beta testers, or just feedback about your game, let me know. :3

Bai bai! <3
