wow, this game looks really cool so far. It would be cool if it was open-source and you had a single player mode. If you enable single player mode you may also want to prevent hacking and such by adding single players to the game. Are the characters stored on a server or a client computer? If they are on a client computer you may run into problems~~~editing a games character is probably pretty easy from their own computer. Perhaps you should make a copy of the character to the game server and have it synchronize the characters and if they don't synchronize right have them choose an option to either delete the character or download the character from the server over their "hacked" character.

I went on a rant...Sorry. The game does look awsome and I hope it turns out good for you! ( Looks kind of like one of the old Zelda games played on SNES.

I see this was done in VB?
