Whilst in the character research phase of the toy assignment Dave showed me a game that he had and was enjoying called 'City Of Heroes. This game seems to have alot in common with the concept of my own game. You are a superhero of your design that goes around an interactive online city completing missions with other users logged on anyway in the world. On completion of these missions your characters game statistics are increased. I had a look on the website (details in below post) and think I will be looking closely at the interface and general game design to see how it has already successfully been done.
Below is a description on the game taken from the website for the game,
www.cityofheroes.com, some of the characters created using the game and a screenshot from the game itself.
