Here is an update of what I am working with on this project.
Here is my basic inventory system as of now, I still have a lot of work to do on it.
I have also coded in terraforming. The players are able to terraform the land even when connected with everyone else. I coded in the Server and Client portion of this and it works fantastic. I coded it in such a way to have the least amount of latency, or stress on the server so as far as I know, there have not been any bugs or glitches yet with our testing.
Last week I was able to code the Server/Client portion of my weather system. I have your basic rain, lightning bolts (which leave huge terraform marks to show its presence), floods, droughts, funnel clouds and snow.
The only thing I will have to work on later is dead reckoning for the movement, to make it look sexy to the eye.
I was able to upload a video this morning to YouTube if you were interested in seeing it. You can find it here...

That account is then saved onto MySQL database, so when the player requests it at run time, it will find it.
