Instead of concentrating on wether you should go 3D or 2D. I say stick to 2D for now and then worry about 3D when the project is good to go.
I don't know very much about graphic programming n such, and how tough this is, but when you get the new server, would it be possible to drop the cells for character movement? and just have a circle around the characters feet that you cannot walk through?

This probably belongs to the possibilities and it's an idea that's already been floating around.
Once we have our own server, we are planning on implementing free, or psuedo-free walking, so you won't be tile-bound anymore. This really just depends on how much server power we are going to have.

So what does the systems coordinator actually do? My job is to take your ideas for TMW and build them into working aspects of gameplay that can be implemented by the artists and programmers. If there's anything you think we can do better or differently, let me know.
Spell animations (for instance) could be done in 3D first and then pixelated. This makes solid animation easier. But I don't think we need 3D CG for anythink else.
