Newbily newbie noob noob here

Hi there! My name's Armando.

I took up programming in Unreal Engine recently, after a few years working in film. I got to do some crazy fun stuff (check out "Aimy in a Cage" with Crispin Glover) and I have my own film waiting to be released / accepted into festivals...

In the mean time, I'm learning how to make an MMO (actually aiming for "MORPG") and it's moving along swimmingly! I don't really do modeling or textures, but I can animate so I've been implementing the basic gameplay one piece at a time.

Anyway, I've been doing tonnes of research on old school MMOs and I used to play UO and EQ and AC back in the day myself, but I never really got into EQ. I did play a lot of the text-based MUDs and I enjoyed them more recently too, so I thought I'd give this a shot after watching some cool Let's Play videos (mostly Vareous and his Monky videos).

I'll be in game soon enough so stop by to say hi if you want... I still have to look at race/class options, so if anyone has a suggestion for me to hop in with and have fun but enjoy some interesting mechanics, let me know something I shouldn't miss out on, you know :P
