Call me crazy if you wish. :-p I prefer the 2D version we have now. Granted we 
could always use more and better 2D graphics. But 3D and animation then locks 
out a lot of marginal graphics makers (like me for example) that could "make 
do" with the 2D tiles. Once we go 3D we would *have to* have some 3D artists 
on board the project to go forward.

The problem with that is good 3D graphics folks are not easy to find and keep. 
The really good ones are probably working only on closed source projects for 
a salary. I say this based on the lack of excellent 3D graphics in the open 
source projects I have seen. I am willing to be proven wrong though. ;-) But 
I still would prefer we keep Crossfire a 2D game.
