The future of AGS Online?

I had an idea for a game a few years ago when I first played 'Shenmue' on the Dreamcast.  I was blown away how you could talk to all the characters in the game and how detailed the landscape was, I thought it would be cool if it was an online game and each of the characters ingame was a real person.

So imagine this for a game... Say it was called 'AGS World'

You use a character editor to design your own unique looking player and name it.
When you start the game you get your own apartment.
The apartment is then linked to a city, that you can explore it, meet other players and chat to them and then the skys the limit. The city could be expandable so the city could become a country and ultimately a world.

So its like a 2D Game with an integrated chat program.
Instead of creating a 'chat room' you could create your own house where characters can meet.

With a broadband connection and the simple interface of AGS It would be fast, easily upgradable and damn fun.  So lets do away with this 3 Dimensional world and create our own world in cyberspace  ;D

The short answer, I think, is: No. No plans for online AGS.

The long answer spans a great many threads - as this gets asked a lot, every so often - most notably THIS ONE, where there is some discussion about making an multiplayer adventure game using the TCP/IP plugin, but it seems to have fallen apart (someone please prove me wrong :)).

I doubt there's any plans to include internet connectivity into AGS itself.
I know what you're thinking ... Don't think that.
