I agree about the size of this undertaking. I've never seen the attraction towards "massively multiplayer online xyz" to be honest. What's wrong with good ol' single-player fun, where the unreliability of network connections can be avoided? Damn these people with their online shenanigans!

You might want to have a chat with the bloke who's working on this online game (Age of the Ancients) to get a better idea of what to expect (btw, quite a few bits of the site give 404s, but the forums work - try to drag him over here if he's not already a member :twisted: ).
