Multiplayer mode is where there is a world that have differnt Levels, But turns are eliminated
So no turns.
You can also type in messages and chat!

like an mmo?

So no turns.

being turn based is one of DROD's selling points, why would you want to change that?

Make a freind list.

this is DROD, not msn or xfire.

And have freinds to help you in the Dungeons!

what exactly are freinds? I hope that their like friends, friends are fun to play with!

Hope lot of pepole replie!

Um... You don't seriously think that's all you need to say for this idea to work, do you? And so far it sounds like you want to turn DROD into a MMORPG-esque, of which I won't be the first to gag and choke (I have nothing really against them [though the truly good ones are in short supply IMO], but DROD is great as is and doesn't need to be changed into one to become better). At the very least, you want to change the foundations that actually make DROD DROD into something else, which if you want to see happen will require some extremely convincing and compelling arguments (and even then you will get serious opposition), which I am most certainly not seeing here. I'll also repeat the old saying, "Been suggested before many, many, many times, and none of the bugs have been worked through."

EDIT: So, yeah. Post collision.

NiroZ, he's thinking of games like Kingdom of Loathing, where you can select people that you've been chatting with to become chat friends/buddies so that you can always know when they're around and talk to them.

Maybe someone should just compile a special version of GAIM where the word "GAIM" is replaced with "DROD:IM" everywhere...

np: Bola - 01706 (0161)

I recall having a discussion with Schik about a DROD MMO. Of course, this shouldn't be taken as 'Schik has been thinking about it', as it was merely one of many topics we have had discussions on.

His dogs are fine, by the way.

Not the first time we've seen this. But the turn-based quality of DROD makes DROD... well... DROD! Taking that out would ruin the game.

Keep posting,

Not ruin it, just make it different. On a big scale.

On a big scale such that in a way it would not really be DROD anymore. Granted it might still be fun, but it would take a lot of work to even attempt to make it so (let alone convince DROD fans that this new thingamabobber was still as fun as regular DROD).
