2004 chatroom tutorial?

I know these are two seperate issues, but is there a tutorial or someone willing to share the basics of a chat room that has users become characters.

-Username/password

-isometric world where user can choose character and walk

-connect to server, room full

Do you think this is easier using Communication Server MX? I know that the character “world” is another issue, but because it’s a popular format, I was wondering if someone had a tutorial going over the whole process.

Any info would be helpful, or suggestions.

that would definitely be easier with Comm Server… that is VERY difficult to do with regular MX/2004… just about possible with XMLSocket, but that is quite unwieldy.
