well from things I have made, making an offline game engine is easy (at lest for me)...

just the online junk is more confusing because you have to orginize everything and send a ton of data through the server...

and files and stuff, it just gets all hectic...

It's about the little things
For a game like Graal (offline mode only)
you would need to code:
- reading images (gifs, pngs, mngs)
- drawing images (DirectX)
- drawing light effects
- switching between fullscreen/window mode
- playing sound and music
- joystick support
- sharing of images for different objects
- level files + level editor + level generator
- animation files + editor
- npc script parsing
- script commands
- script debugger
- configuration panels
The basic Graal offline stuff has been made
on one single day, so you can imagine that
it could possible be done in a few months
if good programmers work on it.

For online mode:
- server which stores accounts, sends it to the
player at login, saves it all few minutes, sends
data between players
- client-side network code
- special player interaction stuff like
PMs, chatting, profiles, guilds
- data compression and encryption
- automatically downloading updated levels
and graphics
- npcserver which controls dynamic obects in the
game
- tools for administration
- website tools for account creation
- configuring the server machine,
which includes making it unhackable
and updating it all few days to prevent future
hacks; also the machine needs to improved
in speed, meaning testing and installing
different libraries and kernels etc.

I forgot the community and money stuff:
you will see that you need to change the
server often because its expensive,
and people are leaving the project or
trying to destroy it or just needed to
be motivated or trying to demotivate you

You said that I was the programmer, but I haven't yet said I would be. You've only asked me so far - I haven't said yes or no. Better would be:

"He might end up being the programmer"

LE is okay, but it doesn't have many of the filter options, and it doesn't have a multiple undo feature...(which gets quite annoying) So if I'm ever drawing anything, I just use Neopaint...

all playerworlds are very good, but I often see
nice stuff, e.g. on Atlantis, Frolic, Faheria.
I only hear complaining about that your
server is not put up, but not work in making your
stuff better so that it gets up. I have seen
some other nice examples of graphics and stuff
that will be put up on M (?) but have not seen in
action,

It's getting annoying to hear people complaining
about stuff and saying they will make a much better
game that beats Graal 100 times,
but cannot do a few levels and npcs of quality
to prove they can make a half-way good
playerworld
...Hmm...Then you must not be seeing the one I sent...have you deleted the old one? The level generated world is about 25% detailed...most system NPCs are already added...we have many indoors...an excellent mining system...

Do you even have the tilesets? The bodies? I don't understand...we have already added the 3 tilesets...we have bodies, new body ganis...every single thing is new...

Can you please explain why you said that? Or tell me...you haven't seen anything new in the submission?

Did I send you the text file explaining mining/equiptment/items? They are kinda long...but they explain alot of things.

You have confused me greatly...
