RPG World Online (RPGWO) is an old school 2D, 8-bit, online, sandbox, open world, multi-player, dynamic role playing game. How is it any different from the gazillions of other ORPGs? Well, the driving goal is to create a simulation type world with RPG gameplay, thus: “Where simulation meets gameplay!” It is a dynamic world. Maps can be changed and almost all items and such can be made and/or destroyed. An empty world in which players can build it the way they want! It has been around since 2000. Version 6 is the one currently in Alpha stage of development and very playable. Version 1 and 2 are complete and playable. I need play testers for version 6 but please also check out version 1 and 2.

I did not use a game engine for the client. It uses normal Windows API in C#.Net. I have never really been about flash and flare but mainly focus on features and content. Why? Well I needed to learn VB6 long ago then now I want to learn C#. Coding a GUI was always a challenge and using Windows API solved that. Thus this game will not appeal to everyone but you can run it on pretty much any PC :)
Also the graphics are very basic and simple. I did them all myself. Getting a decent artist to stick around for free is harder than a rock. I would rather spend my time on coding and content thus graphics don't have the flash of most games out there.
Some features currently implemented:
- combat: unarmed, dagger, sword, axe, mace, bow
- trade skills: mining, blacksmith, farming, masonry, carpentry, alchemy, cooking, bowyer
- land ownership
- town building including NPC control
- procedurally created world map with a rich set of biomes to explore
- caves and ruins to explore
- loyalty rewards for returning players after a wipe
Some planned features:
- magic: wands, offensive, defensive, boosts, warp, summoning, necro, wards, etc
- armor: metal and non-metals (leather, clothe), also adds damage type like thrust and bash
- jewelry: for boosts to skills
- elemental damage and armors
- active NPCs (I plan for some to behave like players, roaming around, breaking stuff)
- events and open story line
- taming and mules
- hunting and fishing
- more town building code (this is a major feature I plan to spend a lot of time on)
- dungeons and more explorables

Not a virus been at this game for years. Mike is right about the delphi false positives.
Virustotal.com
It says the install program is "Sape.Heur.Gen!c" and/or "SAPE.Heur.8f4c" ??? It is the install program by Inno Setup. How do I resolve this?
It installs the updater program which then when run copies files from my website, including the main game .EXE.
Sounds like I need to get it signed or something?
You can goto my games forums at rpgwoforums.com and see that it has been around a long time and is safe.
Ooooh, Inno Setup uses Delphi and Delphi seems to get a lot of false positives when it comes to Anti-virus programs. Well, maybe that is it, not fully sure.
