Arkanius is a 2D Retro-Styled Fantasy MMORPG. It is currently in development, however, already has many features. There is a very interactive and deep quest system, a weather system, player housing, leveled and experience based skills including cooking, woodcutting, mining, tailoring, leatherworking, blacksmithing, fishing, harvesting, alchemy, crafting, carpentry and enchanting. The player can fight solo or in parties, participate in social events including last-man-standing PvP events on distant islands and much more. There is magic, projectile and melee weapons. The characters have their equipment paperdolled in harmony with each other, equipment including shoulder armour, cloaks, helmets, amulets, quivers, shields, armour, weapons, belts, gloves, boots and rings in which can all be worn without any cluttered look whatsoever. Characters can be personalized to the players own choice through many hairstyles and colours.
Something else that needed to be implemented (I'm surprised I've waiting so long to implement this one) - Chat bubbles. A simple bubble above a player's head showing the message they've typed, nothing more, nothing less. As a bonus, there are now also emoticons.

As a bonus, there are now also emoticons. These can be used by using the keys '1' - '=' on the keyboard. There is an example in the second picture. Feel free as always to leave some feedback regarding your opinions on this update.
