It certainly is. However, if you are going to have an ISO view, chances are, you'll have some sort of 3d element to it. ex. 3d models, etc.
Read the manual, it's a good place to start learning ~ ulillillia

you would have to build everything based on isometric sprites (like in RMXP) this way you will have only sprites with the feeling of depth, though it might be a little overdone considering the capacity's of the A6 engine
BASIC programmers never die, they GOSUB and don't RETURN.

well, because 3D Gamestudio is not inheriently build to design 2D games, its not an ideal choice. Yes, it would work, but I feel that you would be popping Advil more often than solving problems.
Not having done much work with the multiplayer engine, and just going by comments I have heard on this forum, it sounds like its difficult to work with. That is not to say it dosent work, but perhaps its not the best. Besides, you would have to buy the Pro edition to make an MMO, because any lesser version only allows for 4 players, or dosent support online play at all.
Also, a 2D game with an isometric view is contradictory in itself. An isometric view is 3D, not 2D. Perhaps I am not fully understanding what you are getting at.
Anyways, to sum it up, you could do it. However, I am sure there are other engines out there that could do the job better.
Regards,

Or you get the populace .dll, it's less expensive than the pro version and works with any version of 3dgs. But I don't know if it'll work for an MMorpg...

ulillillia (who hasn't been on these forums in a long time) made a complete 2D game with A6 (3D Game Studio to the un-enlightened). it looked good, and ran really fast.
@Jay Watergate: 2D isometric games are 2D but attempt to simulate 3D by viewing all characters for a seemingly isometric angle. the pokemon games on gameboy are 2D isometric, as are the original sims, simcity, simcity 2000, simcity 3000 (and unlimited), age of empires 1 and 2 (including expansions), diablo 1 and 2, and im sure there are many others.
im afraid i wont be much help creating a 2D game, and ulillillia has been missing for a while. however, A6 is perfectly capable.
