Melee while casting?

Pretty much this. You can only have one action *active* server side, its like this for many online games. The most you can hope for is more fast cast and spells with less ridiculous casting times.

I find it hard to believe that this couldn't be changed by developers relatively easily. I think the reason most games are like this is a gameplay design choice, not because the programmers were unable to code such a feature into the server software.

And while I know your trying to be a d!ck, you do realize I've actually run a RO server before. Ridiculously complex is small a statement for what the server side of an MMO looks like.

Well, most of those RO servers are reverse engineered hobby projects, it's no wonder it sometimes looks like a mess. Also, RO actually has a class that can attack while casting .
