[Need advice] Online Platform RPG

[Clarkyboy]

Holla, Need some advice and opinions about 2d platform online rpg's, if you don't know what I'm talking about i mean SIK LVL UP + mario.
Ok, here are a few screenies from an old game i made and i need some feedback about the graphics:

Does that look any good to you?
the bottom 2 pictures are fairly dated but they show different parts of the game.
im going to re-do the GUI because of the difference in game-play so i dont think i need C&C on the GUI but if you like that type of style or w/e please say!
anyway also if you think it shouldn't be platform at all and should be top-down, please tell me too!
i have not programed any of the movement so i need to know before i get close to even getting started!

Any other ideas too, i'l post how the game works etc when i know a little better myself, i'm playing around allot and writing down allot of ideas etc and refining them a bit atm though.

Thanks.

So i take it being platform and having the graphics style it has its ok?
i'm actually remaking it so it wont be exactly like that but i might re-use some graphics.
and the gui i make and stick with will probably be much different.
although i just found out a nice way to do easy quick path finding so a top down mmo i could make much better now (net optimizing and A.I)

Look at mario, copy that. That's the best advice I can give.

At any rate, the backgrounds look pretty dull, try and put something more than just a sky in them.

Try not to have walls the same texture as the ground.
