I will tell yuo it ivolves a lot of coding modding and making skins, please reply, and just give it a chance. I will only post the post giving you an idea what I am talking about if someone replies. It is a big project, and I'm taliking dx:rpg, bigger than that, but it is completely new. Tell me, how big is dx:RPG, compare a map with it.

It wouldn't actucally be that hard.
Example of how I'd do it;
1) Create the Dx 'world'. <-- Aka, 1 - 2 GB worth of maps. (Un-zipped)
2) Create an extension of the DXMP code. Allow a conquest type activity to insue.(As in, kill people to add to your points, the higher the other persons kills, the more it counts. The higher your kills, the less it counts. Tally the points, side with the highest points 'claims' the server.)
3) Edit the online viewer to show a new game type.
The only snag would be the interloability. You'd need to setup a server-swap function that could allow for you to enter "[A] town", and be put strait through to the server, "[A] - Town" from the server "Centre town", for example.
You would also need replication for all the people in the different maps. This could be done by making each server host a small area outside it's own, with a central 'neutral' server, unable to be taken, that would hold all of the players stats and use SSL type encryption using certs to insure lack of haxing. (use 1024bit encryption and setup a single body of management for the "centre" server.)
I'm not saying it wouldn't take a few years, but it could be done. However it'd probly be better to download the Quake source and hack away at that instead.

And yeah, in theory a lot of stuff is possible, but in practice, look, people still haven't managed to make up a single decent RPG project and most of them by their intentions look like a fly in comparison to an elephant
