...? Weren't you working on this project anyway? I recalled Afterlab over at FFRepublic was also, but all his battle hack consists of is an icon showing two swords clashing together.

Actually no. My battle system (which was up, now taken down for upgrades) consisted of the following:

~ Character/job classes with individual stats like attack, defense, evade, agility, and more.
~ Leveling system by EXP. EXP is earned by damage.
~ Leveling boosts character's status. There are 5 classes and from there, they each can go onto 2 more characters which are higher and more powerful then the original class character.
~ Calculations of damage from items (attack, agility), character (level, attack, agility), enemy's armor (defense, evade, agility), enemy's character (defense, evade, agility, level) and random effects (critical hits, misses).
~ Magic system with over 500 skills. All of which must be learned by using TP (Tactical Points) which is earned randomly within battle.
~ RP (Republic Points), our form of money, given out to the winner of each battle.
~ Fleeing (the person fleeing would lose the battle) feature enabled for players to leave battle.
~ Instant Messenging. You could talk to your opponent within the battle.
~ Battle Ticker. Recent battles would be listed on the forumhome and Battle CP. From there, a link to the battle is provided, in which any user can view the battle in live action.

And I actually don't care whatever happens to this hack. I just don't understand why anyone can take other's ideas and create a hack and get all credit. Also, that wasn't towards anyone, just an overall perception on many things revolving around here.
