Scott Schiller, favourite DHTML hax0r, pointed us to Vanthia “a browser based Massive Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game in development.”

Looks a lot better than any of the flash based MMORPGs I’ve seen.
Wow awesome. The opacity thing is really nice :)

Flash is not in engineering terms the best solution

Does anyone have an invite code? I’d love to try it.
Nice Mootoolification Vanthia! Mooove over other js libs, it’s on like donkey kong, go Moo!
