1. Any form of RPG or battle system ever

It seems about 3.6 time, no one ever made any of these for free, or tried to port them over from the earlier versions. How is it even remotely fair that there's only one product on the market for something that likely has massive demand, and even that costs money? Did people get bored of the effort of maintaining complex modifications around 3.6 (or even 3.5) era?.

Such a system takes more than a single programmer. You need a graphics designer to make pictures of all the items and what-not. I've rarely run into a graphics designer that'll do work like that for free unless they already have a personal interest in the project.

Aside from that "RPG hacks" aren't really that popular anyway. There are a handful of "big" forums that put them to good use..everyone else has trouble getting enough users to play. I personally have no interest in playing a "web based rpg" and from what I can see most of the other users that visit forums with them installed feel the same way.

Why do you care what software other people are using? I made the same mistake back when I used UBB but in time I saw the error of my ways and converted to vBulletin. There will come a time when I move on to something else although it probably won't be IPB. At any rate if someone needs something not included in vBulletin they should probably be looking elsewhere. There is no point in buying a car and trying to modify it to be a truck when you can just buy a truck in the first place.
