Yea, originally this was going to be in 2d, until the release of Doom.. the story of how two guys in college, with very little knowledge of computers or game design made it into a success is awesome… [http://www.meridian59.com/about-early-history.php](http://www.meridian59.com/about-early-history.php)

Me too.. makes me think of Doom gone rpg. The funnest aspect is that after 30hp anyone can pk or be pked in almost every area.
