(Keep in mind not all features may be added to first release.)About the Map:
The map is based on the world of .hack (manga/PS2 Game). It does have some changes though.
Landscape Photos:

Of the Heros(Hero Basics):
There are 4 base classes and 1 hidden. (May increase in future versions)
They are:
Heavy Blade, Double Blade,
Wavemaster, Trader.
Attributes are allocated every level not a multiple of five. Each attribute is a 'skill' you learn through the [+] button in your hero menu.
Each hero has its own unique abilities that it will be able to learn every 5th level. Some abilities can be taught by selected NPCs. A hero can learn up to 4 base abilities.
Each hero ALSO has 2 other menu's in their control screen. These menu's are the MAIN MENU and the ACTION MENU. Through the Main Menu you can save/load, pause/unpause (freezes hero+invulnerbaility), and other features may be added.
Then the ACTION MENU. This menu contains 4 sub menus as well as 'Quick Actions'. The submenus are, 'Expressions', 'Actions'(Sleep, Trade, ETC), 'Arts' (Danceing, Singing, Acting, Sculpting), and 'Secondary Abilities'.
Finally, the max level is 1000. This level is not easily obtained. Your first few levels are easy but whence you hit level 5 much less experienced is gained, and you come across harder enemies.
Playing Around(Gameplay):
There will be a choice of views(Overhead, 1st Person, 3rd Person), but your camera is locked on you hero.
To move around you may use arrowkeys or move normally with mouse. (May change depending on if it lags)
To access monsters or towns from the town/city you enter a 'Chaos Gate' near the center of the city which will either take your party to a town of your choice or to the fighting area deemed most appropiate. (Special Areas can be reached with hidden words). Also a 'special' town will appear from time to time. The graphics of this town change everytime it resets itself.
PARTYs can be accesed through the MAIN MENU using the 'Form Party' button. A party shares experience and the area deemed appropiate will be decided by the one normally chosen if there levels were added together minus one.
A 'Place' or 'Shop' which can be accesed by everyone, Or a 'Secret Hideout' that can be accessed only by people you choose, can be bought for a price. Each player can own a point count of 2 of these buildings and each building can be furnished. (Secret Hideout=2)(Place=1)(Shop=1)
There will also be many Cinematics. There will be one after defeating a boss, and there will eb a very short one when beginning a conversation with a NPC.
Thats All For Now. I Can't Tell You All the Map Secrets. (More Landscape Pictures Coming Soon)[/img]

Insanebird- Something where the player can say -name *whatever they type* and it changes the proper name of their hero
NOT possible with GUI or JASS
Insanebird- Similar to above where a player can say -username *whatever they type* and it changes there in game ID so when they talk
This can be done easily with GUI, i cant remember the code off the top of my head, but i know that there's no need for JASS.
I might try the Icons if i get time...
