Life is feudal. Sandbox MMORPG (2nd video)

Well, video says it's all by itself. Now we can build modular buildings or place them as a whole in a one piece. As you might notice - it's fully networked environment, all changes are being sent to all clients, all new clients will get a change set of terrain deformations and new buildings being placed, while they were offline. It is not currently optimized at all, so don't even try to ask about that 8).
PLayer can flatten terrain, lower and raise ground levels (with a sloughing effects that appear, when reaching a certain height limits), flatten with a slope (for sloped objects, like walls, fences etc.
Feel free to ask additional questions.

We do have a DB server that already stores buildings data (MySQL), master server to be done, zone servers and border integration will be done later - we have a friendly MMORPG team (Heya Bank ;) that might help us with that. And ye, i am not alone and we're a team of enthusiasts.

@Vladimir Piskunov: I really enjoy what you've guys done so far with the Torque engine. With that being said I was wondering how you guys are handling new worlds? Are they going to be static or randomly generated? Also how far can you dig in game?

After that, we gonna let players to actually play our game and shape the world in whatever way they like.
About digging limitations, they're quite simple: you can't dig below sea level (you will see a water plane, will start floating in it and won't be able to do any actions). And since our game world is planned to be a huge island - that means you can't dig outside of island shore line.
That's it.

Thank you for your kind words. We gonna create a one big world (21,5*21,5 km) with all substances (rock, soil, sand, snow, iron ore, gold ore etc.) painted on the surface and below it (that's where our .ter2 structure goes in). Don't ask us what kind of tools we should make, to be able to edit depths of our terrain - we have some ideas, but had no time to realize them yet.After that, we gonna let players to actually play our game and shape the world in whatever way they like.
