Well seeing as I couldn't get enough team members together (be it they were too busy, or didn't like the way that I work with others/lead, either or) I have been forced to put the MMO on hold until we can get a large enough team together.

Until that time, I have started to make three 2D RPGs based on the history and game play decided for the MMO RPG in order to help progress the MMO while building a team and getting more experience.

If you see this message and were interested in helping make the MMO or even just wanted to play it one day, it will be made, just not as soon as I would have liked to.

If you might be interested in helping make the 2D RPGs, then send me a message (contact information at bottom).

And some information about the 2D RPGs:

Recruitment info:

They are going to be programmed in C++ 2008 or Java, more likely C++.
I am going to be the main programmer for now, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to have someone else more knowledgeable than me to help.
We could currently really use the help of 2 or more artists preferably with some practice at doing pixel art.
I would like to find someone with audio/sound FX skills to help and/or do the games sound FX as I would rather not just use some open source FX pack.
If you think you could help with other aspects your more then welcome to help out where ever you want/can.
If I haven't already seen your work, I do ask to see some of your work first.

We are currently using Dropbox, Skype, and Email to stay in contact and transfer project files. Skype is preferred, but Email is fine as well. Depending on where and what you are helping with or working on Dropbox may or may not be required.

Info on my leadership method:

Because people have complained about the way that I do things, I feel I should explain why and how I tend to do things.

I do not think or communicate like other relatively normal people do. I get and send the wrong signals all the time. And when it may sound like I'm saying or telling you one thing, I often mean something else or it is meant in another way. I do not anger easily, and sometimes when to you it may seem that I am mad at you, I will almost never be. I have gotten to the point that I ask of other to ask me about something if its not clear, if they don't understand what I'm asking, if they would like some more input from me, or if they need some help in some way. I am almost always willing to clarify and help.
I do not think of myself as "The Leader", I consider myself more of an idea person and just another member of the team. I lead the team as if there is no leader but everyone is equal, or at the very least I would like to.
I do take every single persons thoughts and ideas into consideration when making a decision or proposing something to the others. I do not and will not take credit for something that is not mine.

Info on current progress (Jan 20/12) about the RPGs:

Currently I have an idea about what to do with the RPGs.
We are only doing 1 RPG at a time, right now we are working on the "Magic Nation".
We currently have most of the character classes figured out and some of the skills/abilities.
We already know what kind of gameplay they will have
We are still deciding on exactly what graphics style we should use. 16pX16p or 32pX32p = 1mX1m game space and 2D or 2.5D.
We currently have a creation background story and I am playing around with a few ideas for the games story line in my head.
The class system its self has been fully decided already and is based off the MMO.
I am currently having trouble getting some libraries for C++ to work properly, but am still working on it.
I plan for each of the RPGs to have 4 player coop and an arena styled competitive PVP.
I would like for all of the games to be completely free to play, but we'll see.

This information will be updated when I next get around to it.
