Hi, i'm just a fan of dink and alot of the dmods, but I was just wondering has anyone ever thought of making dink an online multyplayer rpg game. This game and many of the dmods are as good or even better than some online games. And some of you dmod makers are really nice. I think it would be fun to be able to play all together and chat at the same time. Would give some a chance to meet.

Just an idea.

I object 
The idea of multiplayer Dink has been discussed a lot. To make an online version of Dink you'll have to alter the sourcecode, which most DMOD developers can't do in the first place. Furthermore I think the playerbase would be to small to actually support an online version (though an attempt was made in the past (I never played it))

So in short, I don't think that's going to happen. The combatsystem wouldn't be suitable anyway...

I didn't know that someone had attempted it. It's too bad that it isn't possible. Most of these dmods are real fun to play.

You dmod creators have alot of talant and thanks for sharing it with us dim witts that no nothing about creating games but enjoy playing them.

Me the biggest of them all.

"It's too bad that it isn't possible."

Oh, but it IS. Just very difficult, especially to tidy up the source code to implement net play.
