The Multiplayer
At some stage SOMEONE, ANYONE! has to somehow make lugaru into a kind of MMORPG! (not with Items etc) but like you can just run around doing the usual stuff, only there are other players online two, so you can all gather round in a building and chat. etcetc

I played a couple of MMOs. It felt like a huge waste of time and money without being fun.
Lugaru wouldn't be a cool MMO. But if someone would mod it to an IRC frontend, heck, why not use it. Chatting and bashing wolves could be fun.
The only thing that would make me think of Lugaru as a good multiplayer game would be kicking other player's avatar asses - and having them frozen for the round. So that just one guy would remain at the end, Last Man Standing style.
Then a simple highscore website to check who pwns the rest and I'd have fun with it.
The engine isn't made for huge amounts of player-controlled avatars with synched stats on a server and all that mumbojumbo. So... Modding it would be as tough as modding GTA SA to a multiplayer mod.
Bottomline: Do it yourself or wait forever

Re: The Multiplayer
I really like the idea of a playable lobby for Lugaru like what you described, but it wouldn't really work for an MMORPG.Mike_Cuzins wrote:At some stage SOMEONE, ANYONE! has to somehow make lugaru into a kind of MMORPG!
