The Idea Thread

One thing I always thought of was creating a Runescape version of Minecraft. I know there are several projects doing it though, but I haven't really checked them in detail.

Back in MC beta 1.7.3, a friend and I were recreating the world, because it was fun, though we did it all by hand and didn't get nearly as far as those using world editing tools.

But what I envision would be not just a recreation of the map, but a heavily modded client to actually implement the RPG features of Runescape. It would include a server side mod, and the client sided mod would include a "world list" which had predefined servers in a list to select (maybe just 1, or 1 per region if it were successful. Obviously money would play a part). The mod would also include all the items from the game, a redefined inventory/equip system, XP systems etc. It's very ambitious and I probably wouldn't be able to do it, but after a few years of Java experience I know I could at least get started with something. The time commitment is something I don't have though, and motivation alone can't carry it. So basically it's just something I think would be cool, but probably not something I'd ever do.
