This proposal has been accepted

The development team has discussed the contents of this article and has decided that it should be implemented as described. But the implementation is not finished yet. You can help to bring the features described here into the game.

The Mana World is a project that tries to create a free and open source MMORPG game with the looks of "old-fashioned" 2D RPG games such as those released for the SNES / Super Famicom in the early 90's. The game itself will be free to download and will also have no monthly fee.

The Mana World aims to be a unique place for people to interact by not only fighting but also forming a community, a microcosm inside the game. Although the game is dynamic and does not have a linear story, it should include background story such as countries, tribes, culture, climate, etc. Quests should lead to other quests. Quests should also encourage forming groups/parties so as to promote the community feel.

Additionally, the developers care about cross compilable source code and efficient resource management in order to make the game playable on as many platforms and operating systems as possible. Low end hardware such as x86 PIIs or G3 PPCs should be the minimum requirement.
