It is a online rpg, a mmorpg. Fisrt we\'ll develop the basic framework, 
including the world system and rules, along with the low-level stuff (sockets, 
uni/multicast, threading, and so on). In first instance the Crystal Space 3D 
engine will be used (crystalspace.sourceforge.net), a GPL, non commercial 
engine, but we consider also developing and using a new engine from a scratch, 
in another project. Eventually, we\'ll use the framework to create three games, 
each based respectively on the first, second and third Ages of Tolkien\'s 
novels. The framework will include both server and client: the former will be 
developed mainly for Linux, while the latter will be cross-platform, thanks to 
Crystal Space which works under Windows, Linux, Mac, Ps2 and others. We wll 
focus on lotr for our games, but the framework can be used by anyone to create 
any world, freely. To achieve this objective, the rule system of the world will 
be the most parametrized possible. We will use .png or .jpeg textures, not 
.gif. Nearly almost mmorpg are aviable only paying a fee: Ainulindale tries to 
raise as a free chioce in this new branch of gaming world. It does not exist 
yet but we\'re working on it.
