Is it possible to make just a single-player RPG game here, or limit the number of people in a server to say 4? I guess this probably would not be hard, me and a friend have been working on a comedy RPG storyline for a bit and am looking for a engine to put it on(either this or RPG Toolkit, but I cannot seem to get that working on Windows 7). Also the community here is much larger, and the game we have been designing could maybe be fun cooperatively. However I am not wanting to make it into a MMORPG. If there are other single-player RPG games could someone maybe point out a good one or two I could try out to see how it runs? Thanks for any tips!

Yes, it is entirely possible to make single player games. In fact there are a few already.

Yea, I spoke to soon I just saw one in a ad lol.

One last question, should I start(well, I have made a game or two for BYOND but it was long long ago) with the beta versions or the stable release?

*edit* Looking more deeply it looks like smooth movement has been added in the beta, which was another question I had. So I assume I should go with that, when I last developed a game here I remember the transition from tiles by the player to be choppy and annoying. So the latest beta seems to fix this correct?

For the most part yes. Right now some problems are being ironed out but there should be a stable version soon.
