Yes! You would never believe how many people kept coming to the fallout 2 board asking for multiplay and realtime! And we promtly flamed! Anyway, realtime combat is another thing that would ruin a SW RPG. Fallouts turn based system kicked muchas ass people! I hated Diablos combat.


: An online SW RPG would be cool, but it would only be possible (to it's full extent) if everyone had T10 connections and Cray XMS supercomputers. If it were to really happen, it would have to be turn based - imaging your computer trying to handle not hundreds of data packets, but billions, or trillions? With thousands and thousands of people playing, or even a few, the interacting data on all of the planets and other locations would overload a computer...the way you want it, we'll have to wait for the REALLY fast computers (none of this Cyrix crap, either :-P). The Pentium IIs cut it close, but it'd still be like playing Quake II on a TRS-80. :-)
