I'm glad to say that the arcade has just been implemented. It is in an early beta stage, so there are a decent number of bugs, but most are known at this time and being worked on. Regardless, the games are playable. You can click here to check it out.

Ah hah, sounds like a "plan."
I really like the sound of that MMORPG!

I love the idea of the radio. It would keep the MMORPGers entertained while walking around. (make sure to make ridable things)

[dermitzakis]

Very good ideas hope to see them online!And if you could put some more styles!
