I don't know if you guys know about this...

I know it would be a lot of work to add this type of RPG system into the game but I think it would be worth it in the long run.

Any programmers up to the challenge?

after taking a quick look at the rules i think this is a bit too complex compared to what i've had in mind... SoM had a pretty simple "system".
additionally athena let's us only use whats been implemented for RO already. right now every rule that applies is a feature of athena and we'll have to stick w/ them unless we write our own server which sooner or later will be the case anyway. just modifying the athena wouldn't do any good either, since the architecture is pretty weird, hardly documented and optimized for RO... :'(
