The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

How will death be dealt with?

I just assumed that stat loss was losing the stats and having to do something to get them back after death

One off topic question about the 3D characters. If they are to consist of one part only, does that mean that the characters will not show any motion during the game? If the character consists but of one lump I reckon it would be impossible to see them move their legs / wings and they would instead be shifted through the landscape like they had frozen in motion, wouldn't they?
Creating animations of character movements is probably a whole big story we haven't ever mentioned so far.

Actually yes, we could have complete animations if the characters are single objects. :)

I'm pretty sure the animation is done beforehand and plugged into the programming, so it would make sense that the model would still be read as a single object.
