This is cool to read others ideas about an Online RPG.
I too am fond of the Zelda Style. Zelda Classics rocks! Well.... only until I played it too much.
I am working on an RPG using code from both CoffeeMUD, AimeMUD, and LaundraScrp. Most of the things that you could want to do, are able possible with the built in basic scripting engine. Simple and sweet.

The game im working on is classless. I hate player class. Isn't there enough catagory in life without filling my games with an absurd amount of special classes? So... i removed class. Race is the only thing remaining, and based on EXP you can train in anything you like. This gives the game DYNAMICS! You never know what the person your talking to truely IS. Skills are avaliable to EVERYONE. You can pick and choose what fits your character best.... no restrictions because your a bard.... or a mage.
If anyone is interested in this type of game, let me know. I own a small but adaquate server that could serve a small online game, which is what im hosting the game on right now.
For those who might be interested.....
http://mud.richardcompton.net
on the site, there is a players guide and forum. The players guide is about 40% complete. The sections dealing with Religion and Mythology are going to be expanded upon.
I really like the idea of taking HP from magic users in place of MANA. Thanks for the idea....
Thats all...
