History
The inspiration for this game comes from my experience in working on the Tribes RPG mod. I created most of the character textures for the mod and I also hosted a server for a while, created many quests, and changed the code around a little. My experience with the game gave me a lot of insight into what makes a game like this fun and also how completely irrationally insane people will get as they compete for virtual possessions
