3D Facebook Interactive RPG Development?

Hello Users, Currently me and three other programming friends have started a team project on a 3D World that is interactive to Facebook. We are programming a Java Applet because it is the only way to make the interactive world an in browser game. We are working very hard and want to ask you the public what would be good tips or ideas for this 3d world. It is supposed to be very much similar to "Second Life." The game would start with you loading the Facebook application page and then a java applet starts up and it creates a profile for you automatically. Then you design an avatar with very precise tools. Then once you are logged on as a player you will be able to go throughout this 3D world and talk to friends and interact and play several fun games together. This game may sound very much like Second Life to you but it will be very different. The game is going to create a private world that is for you and your friends only. However the player can edit the world he is in and create many physical objects to create his own world and be god in it. For instance you can log on to the game and create things like custom buildings, custom cars, and other things then place them into the world where your friends will be able to interact with them too. However you can destroy things too. You can use weapons such as Machine guns, pistols, and other weaponry. You can burn down buildings, blow up cars, steal automobiles and much much more. It is basically like much like "Grand Theft Auto" or other massive world games but much more personalized and includes all of your closest friends. So give us input on what would be cool to have in this massive multi player world. Or any programming tips. Also we are still very much considering coding in C++ for speed reasons but that is always a hassle for regular pc users to download so that is why we are considering doing it in a very minimalistic java applet.

1. Check out Unity3d : http://unity3d.com/, It's a game engine that has many useful featurs and lets you deploy as an applet ( or as anything else really).
