[What do you like to see in bosses? I need t3h ideas!]

Remember to make not all your bosses big guys with tons of hp because from a player standpoint this get tiring and boring when overused. Give him special abilities that make combat interesting to say the least

[Turn-based, dueling-style combat GUI - how do I make one?]

It shouldn't be to complicated if you have a at least a basic knowledge of vb. I made a rpg for a programming project and after using eclipse to make the maps I made a simple turn based combat battle system. It's pretty simple to make the gui for it, one needs to make sure the equations used for combat are spot on though. For a 2d game with graphics simular to eclipse many people often prefere a 2d turn based game versus a 2d realtime action game. Anyway a bit of vb study will not be wasteed if you change your mind because im sure you will need it later if you want to add a bit of "uniqueness" to your game. good luck - cheers!

[Legend of Zelda ORPG - Feature Discussion]

It may be a good idea to add some personal things to zelda to make your game "special" when compared to the many previose ones. When making a game based off a popular one it's a good idea to add a little personal flare whithout going to over the top as to change the original concept.

[Magic Spells]

Looks good so far, and i like the many difrent elements. I would keep upgrading the 1st skills you get so that they all top off about the same. Think of the ranking system they have in wow where you would gain ranks in spells to make them more powerful.

[Character sprites changed-not by me]

Hey I am new to eclipse and have just been messing around a bit with total eclipse to learn the basic functions of the program. I logged on today and the oddest sight met my eyes. I had previously changed my player sprite (with an access of 10) to sprite 120 but what I saw before me was sprite 120 with a bikini suit pic posted badly over the front of the sprite and a random armor suit above my chars head. They both follow him when he moves so they must be a part of the sprite. I have changed my player sprite to the other character sprites but the bikini and floating armor remain on any new sprites. I feel really silly for posting this because for any reader it would sound just ridiculous, which is exactly what it is. Is there a bug with the sprites? Has someone hacked my server and is playing a sick game on a new eclipse user? 
Also under the accounts folder then in the character list I found three characters that were not made by me called
-cowasdf
-asdf
-Demo

-don't flame me because my post sounds stupid, im reporting a problem I see and am wondering if someone is accessing my game server
thanks in advance
