Map history:
FVORPG A200 is the child born from the limitations encountered when attempting to update A195 to A196.
The end result: The A1xx series was abandoned in favor of A200.
FVORPG A200 is the first map in a series of maps, much like the A1xx series.


General information:
As mentioned A200 is the first map in the FVORPG series, the maps sport a custom plug-in allowing the saving of characters on a centralized master server.
No more -load codes with the finger slipping that comes with them.
The plug-in also allow previously impossible tasks such as player interaction across different Warcraft III: Frozen Throne games.


Features:
-Open ended multi-map spanning world.
-Centralized character storage for easy saving/loading across multiple maps
-Quest-lines spanning over multiple maps
-Hundreds of custom items
-Player creatable items
-Multi game spanning player shops, trade with players in other FVORPG games
-Persistent quest states, your progress is automatically saved.
-Global events controlled from a centralized master server
-Dynamic hero classes, no more picking a class and being stuck with it
-Item bound abilities and skills, stab with a knife, aimed shot with a bow
-Battle.net or LAN play, with multi game trading
-And much much more

The terrain shots look cool but I fail to see the RPGish / gameplay part from the screenshots.

Cool idea with the plugin. Can you elaborate on it, particularly any issues with security?

Well, A200 is only in Alpha, but you could always download A195 from the site, it's the previous map. The A1xx series is abandoned in favor of A200.
While A200 will be pretty different, A195 should give you an idea of where we (The map makers) are coming from.

The plugin allows messages to be passed between the plugin and Warcraft III: Frozen Throne, where the plugin forward messages to the master server and back to Warcraft III: Frozen Throne

The plugin opens a connection to the master server. Which in theory could be hijacked and someone could get your FVORPG password, thats about as much security risk there is.

At this point we're experimenting with exactly how much can be modified using the plugin.
