BlueTetra RPG - A follow on to Icarea!
BlueTetra is a sci-fi RPG, in which you are put into a universe which is on the brink of destruction by an unknown evil force. You must fight or help the people in this universe to get to the bottom of what is going on...
Although there is fantasy within the story, BlueTetra is mainly about highly powerful weapons which are every pyromaniacs dream; AKA Big things that can kill you.
And if you don't like full on war, why not help your chosen planet win by providing resources, or why not create an alliance?
Join BlueTetra now before the feud gets too big...

Due to Septimus's lack of leadership qualities (no offense), I might join, but I'll probably wait for a stable release just to see what kind of thing it is. What/how's it going to be?

This is commonly referred to as a bump.

http://bluetetra.x11s.org
As I mentioned switched to PowrHost.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not view it in Internet Explorer, it is messed up. I could add the doctype tag, but it kinda ruins it for anyone else using a browser that is good. I will add an IE version only soon.
Well, good thing is I'll be selling memberships for 10p at my school fair, which will probably sell quick.
Basically, all it is, is a kind of Wizardry, sword and bow game, kinda like runescape but a tbg version.

Oh cool. Looks good so far 
. And what do you mean by sell memberships? Will there be a P2P part? Also, what does switching to PowrHost mean to me?

Better backups, DEDICATED hosting, only $0.97 to get rid of the small text ad.
Sell memberships is basically a code which someone can use to upgrade their account, like extended weapons. P2P will actually be the MAIN goal for the project.
Dont worry about powrhost, it's not much of a difference to the user!

FREE Membership code anyone?

Of course I want a free member code!
Anyway, so basically no difference for me as a programmer; just for you as owner.

I don't really understand what you do in BlueTetra...
Did I mention I'm under 12 and over 10 (hehe, escaped not sharing age XD) and I've been really busy with stuff? Well, basically, in a few days or weeks, a plague will spread, and by random, you will be turned into zombie or human.
Till then, you wait until the actual game is functional. Then, after that the plague will spread in about a few days.
After that, you may jump to planets. Each planet is out to kill eachother. Lets say you were visiting Kasta, if that planet was nuked, EVERYONE there would have one of the consequences:
# Account Reset (10% chance)
All your items and money will be lost (You still have xp and levels)
# Super protector Protection:
A Super Protector is the most valuable player in the current planet. They have the most options and have the option to reflect missiles or protect few people on the planet
# Missile Launch Fail
The offensive planet failed to launch the rocket and THEIR planet blows up!
However, everyone on the planet has a chance of evacuation (Members will have an option to auto-evacuate if their planet is in danger).
Watch out though!
Will edit soon!

Ok, finished the inventory page, about to add it.
If you activate a membership, it will add (or replace if there is already something there) a special item to slot 10. This is NOT given if using a code when signing up.

Wow, cool! I've always thought that games need dynamic maps. And what if after being nuked, the went through different 'recovery phases', slightly different in each?

Hooray! I'm a free member! But um... you know how to do P2P? I've been wondering how to do real money transactions without iOS (and that just meaning ads).

I have no idea what you mean.
Anyway, regarding your previous post, I agree!

Re: BlueTetra RPG - A follow on to Icarea!
Okay, I've got multiple questions and comments. First of all, we need a graphics artist. Second, I don't think it should be too hard to use JavaScript to make clickable descriptions for the items, should it? I'm thinking using a combination of PHP if or switch/case statements that look at $_GET, and control JS document.write()'s, the whole thing of which is then displayed in an iframe. Like:
Code:
<?php
if ($_GET['item'] == 'Cash') { ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<b>Cash</b><br />You need this to buy stuff.");
</script>
<?php } ?>Something like that (there might be an error somewhere there; I just typed that this moment into the Message box).
Third, what if planets had a 'malevolence counter' towards each other planet, which increased/decreased the chance of nuking that planet, modified by a player helping or attacking planets on behalf of another?
Fourth, what would you think of a homeworld?

I thought of iFrames first, but then we would need individual pages.
