So I was going through the News Category and I came across the "Future of the Prototype" article and the mentioning of Mega Man RPG World. I am aware that it was paused and that the update on the thread states that it was outdated. As such, I was wondering what happened with the project. Was it canceled and had some of its ideas incorporated into the Prototype? If this is a touchy subject or it's already been stated, then apologies.

It's not at all a touchy subject, don't worry!
RPG World was intended to be a massive improvement on the then-current build of MMRPG, and a bit of signifying that development was moving out of the 'Prototype' phase. In that time period, updates came out build by build and with massive changes instead of more gradual updates like today. In implementing some new features and missions though, some unexpected difficulty came up and ran a lot of progress into the ground, and for a while development essentially stalled and there weren't really any obvious paths on how to move forward. It was after that build, I feel, that the developmental philosophy of Prototype shifted and that, while big updates were great fun, they also caused a lot of strain and stress when things had to be done but one feature would hold everything back.
Now luckily, most of the working features were eventually funneled back into this current build of Prototype, and some of the extra stuff not included is planned to be reimplemented in the current build at some point (like the extra Chapter 1 Missions against Sniper Joe.) Also since then, a lot of the material that didn't work before and caused trouble has also been implemented and with much less difficulty than before, thanks in part to previous improvement and just plain old general growth. There's still some bits that we want to continue bringing over or refine further though, so it's definitely on the ever-growing backlog.

@MegaBossMan : Wait... That Exists? Well tried Searching. All I get is the thread of this. But all I can say is that I DO know it if it’s the LEGACY page since it does have the word WORLD in it

@Soren : here's a link to a preview build, but it's worth noting it's now pretty much unplayable for newer accounts. Won't do you much good, but you can still read through some of the changes.

@MegaBossMan : This is an older Version of the Website...
But I never noticed you had more robots that didn’t make it. Shark Man is not an Original One. But why did they exist?
There is also even more to Battle Network. EVEN THOUGH THATS A SEPARATE SERIES WHICH INCLUDE BOTH BATTLE NETWORK AND STARFORCE TOGETHER. But the rest are all together from this

@MegaBossMan
Thanks for responding! I figured that's what happened(which honestly I'm glad that happened as truth be told Prototype's come a long way. A LONG WAY. I mean, if you look at the first pictures, it's honestly bizarre how different the game looked. Plus Prototype just sounds generally better, though that's a personal opinion.) There's one more thing though; for the RPG World Updates, were there ever plans for a custom mission creator? I thought I saw it mentioned somewhere, but I for the life of me can't find any mention of it.
Also, should questions like these go into the Official Q&A, or is it just how questions about how the game works?

@GammaGhost : Yeah we've changed so much over the years, especially with a long history as ours visiting the earlier builds is a new experience altogether! There's actually a selection of builds that have been saved over the years, and while they're not all playable I still heavily encourage users to go and check it out.
A custom mission creator would be so cool and the overall community has discussed it so often, but we don't have a direct interface or UI or anything yet so that would be a whole nother endeavor to commission. It's a feature that opens up so many doors and has been shown to be a heavy favorite judging from the popularity of games like Mega Maker and Make a Good Mega Man Level, so I for one would definitely be in favor for it. The 'when' and 'how' would just have to align, as with many other features.
I'm not much of a stickler for semantics, so I think questions like these go perfectly fine in the Official Q&A thread. As long as they're generally related to the game, website, or community, and not random material like asking if anyone has a favorite color or are scared of clowns :V

If you mean for the legacy page, I think it was when they got rid of the demo feature for this game that allow guest profiles to play. If I remember correctly, they removed it due to the difficulty and it making the game look far more difficult than what it actually was, though I could be wrong.
