bought them from RPG Maker site. I am actually taking the browser quest code and altering it to be more persistance RPG and adding some features along with new graphics. jsut got server up and going. Now testing adding a few new features. Already got database in place to remove that local storage crap.

I honestly knew I was in over my head with Iso. I felt bad I wasn't able to help answer any question in this section, but at that time in particular I just didn't have the spare time to learn it. Iso is definitely not a small, thrown-together engine. Rather, its internals reminded me more of a commercial MMORPG server that had gone open source: Extremely powerful, extremely flexible, but very hard to get started with.

I am actually writing my own multiplayer RPG engine from scratch. If there is enough interest I could use something free like melonjs or something instead of Impactjs so I can release it or even sell it.

Both Phaser and KiwiJS have the most impressive feature lists of the common, open source HTML5 game engines (they are both even more feature-rich than Impact, which has fallen behind over the last couple of years). But there is a pretty big problem, at least in my opinion: neither is really OOP out-of-the-box. There is a community-created tutorial buried pretty deep on how to work in an OOP way with Phaser, although an experienced JS dev could probably figure it out on their own. A side-effect of this, however, is that there is no built-in support in either engine for code separation. Everything is in one file. That is pretty bad compared to ImpactJS which has quite a good system of module separation.
