That looks really cool. I bet alot more niche MMO's start coming out in the next few years using that system.

First thing that came to my mind...finally someone will try to remake UO into true 3D (of course with out liscence infringements).  Hopefully someone will try, I know the free UO servers are the best to play on.

Interesting to read that Rapid Realty is using this engine, explains thier tactics a bit more.

This is exactly what I needed....

This is great...This is beyond great...This is awsome!!!...

I agree with this idea whole heartedly, all those people with wht they thought were great ideas (I'm not going to be judgemental or anything, but lets face it we don't know if any of them would have really worked out in the end anyway), will have a chance to implement them, and there will hopefully be more MMORPG's out there to try, and now I get to sift through the source code to find out how this kind of stuff REALLY works, not just how I thought it would, muahahahaha,

I've been playing with this program for a few hours now, and I have to say it's really nice, and fairly simple so far. Lots of features too, even for a beta program. I encourage would be developers to check it out. Also, there's already a few assets like 3D models and other stuff avalible for download and purchase.

EDIT

nevermind

This is great, and it would encourage variety in MMORPG's, but wouldn't it also create hundreds of new EQ-clones that are all basically the same?

I am sure that you will see some similaritys in games using this engine but to say that there is going to be alot of EQ clones that are all the same is totally wrong. Not only is this an mmorpg engine but is also capable of FPS RTS and stand alone RPG's among others.

 Its not like they have every thing here for you ready to go there is still work involved here lol. I think we will see alot of new ideas come from this , some good ..... alot bad.

i seem to be having a problem downloading the program. the download claims ot be finished at around 10MB and starts unpacking all the files. i know the program isnt this small, and for some reason its just missing half of the package. ive tried 3 times now.

can someone please help?

Quite interesting.
Sure it will bring many duplicates of other games. But I am sure there will be at least a FEW unique games out there that are worth trying.

I downloaded the engine and giving it a try but i got stuck in the first 30min -_-" because I couldnt download some files needed of the website of them... it's about: Kaneva Basics Series Lesson Files

If anyone has them can you please e-mail it to: crazytom85@hotmail.com

then you will see a nice game after some months :)

I downloaded the program, got it running. It missing a decent help system. The tutorial also seems lacking. Right now I am trying to create a landscape and I there is no option for picking a plane like it says.

This is definitely something I will be taking a good look at.

Having created alot of content for NWN in the early days.. it was always something I wish I more ability to modify the core, not just create textures and models for.

I also think there is a definite opening for a couple of innovative themes.

This is true. But the turtorial they currently have should be able to be completed. As far as I can tell it can't.

Welcome to beta :)

Send them a note - tis the point afterall.

Did that, waiting for an answer. Also it seems to require 3ds max. The company that makes 3dsmax has a free product specifically for creating game content. Not sure if its a decent replacement but here is the link:
