Multiplayer would be ultra cool (be it MMO or 2 players on 1 PC or 5 people over network) but I understand that that would need a heavy rewrite of the engine.
If I would write a Flare mod I would do the gfx Zelda style. Fortunately Flare can do that, as the "Polymorphable" mod proves.
Edit: Danimal, you are right about the slow pace in open source projects.
1. The pictures from the thread start look extremely cool.
2. Ragnar Random is right that we all choose our own coding style/approach. I'm a hardcore coder with C and such, similar to bzt. But as Ragnar said: Each his own. (I just recently found out that PHP is not as bad as I used to think.)
Well, Flare starts looking good (graphics). Then you get into fights which aren't hard to win. That lets you keep on playing. Then the new contents like the quest and the maps lets you continue playing further. And soon you are in the middle of the game and have played a lot.
Only drawback for me is that in higher levels there's much fighting and not much questing. But hey, it's called "Free libre action RPG engine" so it's an Action RPG and other players like it exactly for that reason :)
1.) My overall favorite RPG was Runescape because it has exciting quests, challenging monsters and interesting crafting. I also liked the 3D graphics (They are not the world's best graphics, but I don't mind.) The runecrafting was fun. too. The community is good, too. The landscape is interesting, too.
I stopped playing it because there was to much long-distance-running involved. And the mentioned need to be a jack-of-all-trades to do the quests. Unfortunately they deleted my high-level character (after several years, so I think it's fair).
I occasionally payed for Runescape premium. Because of the premium quests. It's worth the money imho.
2.) I played a rather unknown MMORPG with the name "Nowhere else and beyond". The game's maker decided to completely delete his game (server, source code, everything), so it's gone. It was a browser game with 2D graphics and a cool community. You could create your own map and quests and items. And many more features...
3.)
a) I liked the graphics of Guild Wars 1 or 2 (I think it was 1, but not sure).
b) I liked the Elder Scrolls world, quests and graphics (both Morrowind and Oblivion).
c) I like the default campaign of Flare for its fighting and quest.
d) I like Stendhal, but the sheep feeding quest was boring so I lost interest. Maybe I should give it a try again.
e) I played Gothic 1. It didn't catch my enthusiasm. But it was not bad.
f) I played Dofus, but I got stuck after some not very long time.
4.) Despite being probably the most popular RPG I did NOT play World of Warcraft. NEVER.

I found this (untested) :

Edit: I just found out it's pretty empty :(
I can't concentrate on video well, too. But maybe for some people a Youtube feature helps? You can watch videos faster or slower.
Again grear graphics. Great atmosphere.
I think dodging is only possible if the player steps backwards. Or perhaps forwards?? Then the knight is in the way so you better kill him fast.

The animations are nice :)
The itch page is not available. Any info what the fake console jam is about?
Well, eveything changes. You change. The game market does. (Similar experience with adventure games and with pen & paper RPGs.)
Some say Ultima Online was the best. That was before I got into MMORPGs so I don't know if that's true.
That is a good motto for life :)
Note that there is EasyRPG (but I think it is not as far as TirNano).
