Actually, I 'grew up' with traditional rpg type games-2d perspective, top down/birds eye kind of view, and was hoping that this game could have a look to it more like that than a heap of polygons and textures and unstable environments. I'm not big on 3D worlds in a lot of cases, and I don't think it would suit this game as well (although I have been known to be wrong...a lot), but I'm willing to do whatever the community wants. >From: "Baj, B (Barbara)" <Barbara.Baj at nyc.rabobank.com> >To: "Chuck Evans" <bioriot at hotmail.com>,onlinerpg at dragaera.info >Subject: RE: RPG >Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2003 16:50:55 -0400 > >The closest I've encountered a computer Dragaera was Dragaera Mush.
