Not to many questions float around like this, and this is probably a once in a life time chance for some of you. Me and one of my good friend are making a MMO. Before you start flaming about how dumb or retarded this may sound, it seems pretty cool. We havn't got into the programming just yet as we are just trying to get all of our ideas down and the backgrounds, quests, and characters into some sort of layout. So basicly, we havn't started but we do have a name for it and things of that nature and we are planning on Copyrighting it sometime soon. We need 1 or 2 people who have some kind of expierence with Java or C++ Scripting. It is a basic scripting system I know but we will provide you with a information sheet and all that good stuff. You do not have to be 18 or older, we aren't making it anytime soon. So, if you do have a pplication you would like to submit, make sure that once you are 18 you are able to travel to the shop. Our shop isn't setup yet with computers and things, it is kind of at my house for now, but please don't think you will be spending 500$ on a plane ticket to fly at your age. We just want a basic information sheett about yourself and all that, more information and details about the project will be provided after you are accepted.
Here is a small application you can fill out, and I advise you just PM me your application, for your security.

Name:
Age:
Scripting Program(Jave, C++, other):
MSN/Yahoo/Aim:
Your Expierence with computer programming:

It is a basic application just for us to easliy read over. You'll be E-mailed a better application if you are accepted. We will review your Application tomorrow and we will E-mail you about the MMO.

Nice try, but you won't make anything, no offence. You'll need pros, equipment etc. if you wanna earn money for that. Again, nice try, but not a good idea which you'll try to accomplish. Anyway, good luck!

Firsty, you don't need pros. Second, we've already got the Equipment picked out. Third, I said I would provide more information on how it is going to work and who/how it is being produced.

RPG maker?

You won't be making a 3d mmo.. 2d max and writing optimal code to handle more than 100 people at once will take college level programming experience. Not to mention a lot of money.

The chance of this happening, seeing that you HAVE no programming experience, is slim to none.

Hey no need to be so harsh. It's quite possible for just one or two people to make an MMO in their free time. What I don't think will happen is an 18 yo traveling to someone else's house to do programming. A small project like this usually means that the people with the ideas need to be the same people executing those ideas. So just learn some programming, it'll be easier than to hire someone else to do it.

I know a good amount of Java but I'm not gonna apply since I don't actually enjoy it.

And really no one here has the technical prowess to make a decent MMO. And if he or she does, it's not worth the time either.

How is it a waste of time to create an MMO?

cjgone, if you don't have no idea what your talking about, then please don't post. You have no idea who can do things, also, I know more about scripting with Java then you will ever know, we just need more people so we can get work done faster.

Get off your high horse.

He's right, there are maybe at most 1 or 2 people here who know the scripting for MMO. I know how to code for a stand alone 1 player game and that makes my head hurt as it is.

I'm pretty sure I know Java much better than you do no matter how much you talk. I don't think you even understand the basics of writing a game, whereas even incorporating online play into it. You're clueless and naive-- you know nothing, but you think you do.

And there's much more to writing games than just writing code. You have to have an idea that's unique-- something that stands out that interests people. You have neither the programming experience nor the originality, sorry -- I can tell this by your stuck-up attitude.

Please take a reality check. No one here is trying to be arrogant.

I agree with you there 100%. I found this out the hard way in university. I almost failed the course I was on because I couldn't come up with anything that wasn't already out there - and the assignment was to create a 3D game which is unique, interesting, nothing about the game could be similiar within the class, everyone had to have different ideas, and it's incredibly difficult. I could do the coding, but not the ideas and creativity.

I wish you the best of the luck anyway.

Why does this happen every time someone says they're going to create an MMO? Come on guys, let him do it. I've seen people who know less do more. Don't tell him he can't do it, because you simply don't know that. Just because it seems unlikely and because many enthusiastic people with the same goal have given up before they even started doesn't mean you should just flat out tell a guy that he's not going to do it.

That said, you're going to need to provide a whole lot more detail than you're giving now to get any applications. Where are you located, what exactly are you making, how confident are you that this will actually go through and why, and more.

Cjgone is right about one thing: no one on here knows enough of Java or C++ to create a game of the proportions you're talking about. If there is someone here with that much experience, I don't know about it. I know enough of Blitz3D to make a game that supports about 10 people (the language is too inefficient in the online area to do any more than that), and that would still take 6 months for just the basic structure of it. I do know a relatively large amount of HTML, PHP, JavaScript, and CSS to help you with a website once you need one, but there's no way I'm going to be flying halfway around the world now, or even in 2 years when I'm 18. Which brings me to the next point.

AndrewNoNumbers is also right. No 18 year old is going to fly halfway around the world on the word (and not much word at that) of some guy that they don't even know. Think about it for a second. If they know enough about programming to help you out, I guarantee you they're going to go to college. That cancels all flying around the world plans automatically. After that, they'll want a job that they know is reliable, whereas you don't even specify how much they might get paid, or if they'll get paid at all.

Now, if this is a casual project and you used some sort of online networking to get things done, people might help you out in their spare time, whether they get paid or not, just for the heck of it. If this were a business thing, you wouldn't be posting on here, except maybe as a reference to someplace else to give your friends at Sal's the first chance. This sounds halfway in-between. To business like to just work on it at home in your spare time, not business enough to get anyone to do anymore than that.

I think you can make an MMO, and I really hope you actually do, but it seems to me you're going in the wrong direction with this whole application thing.

Thanks for the information Yippee. I did live a lot of things out. But, like I stated in my very first post, it is just a basic information sheet, and we were just going to discuss our plans. You can make a application and get the E-mail with all the information needed, and not sign up. Once we get our Corporation running we will actually contact you through the mail with a full job application. But of course, we will let you go to college anf get your degree in Developement or Design and what not. If you are still interested afterward, you're welcome to come down to the shop, which we will pay for the tickets and such. But, we aren't be going to get into programming any time soon. I tried to stress that just to get it into your heads. We are working on a 2d RPG right now which is going great, we're not sure if it will be up and running on the internet this year, maybe early next year if everything works out as planned. I'll keep you up to date on that. Also, thanks for the advice Yippee.

You know that if you presented some of your ideas that it would be significantly more persuasive in nature? Everyone here is taking your word for it when you say things like this but no one actually knows anything. Over the internet, it's rarely worth finding out because who would want to spend time writing software for only someone else to possibly just take it and walk off? If you see where i'm going with this.

Why yes, of course I do. But, I rather not just go off and give more information than I have, like you said, someone can steal the idea. Although, it also comes into play when you add a application. But, I just rather know about someone's computer programming skills and such before giving them the information they want. Just in case later on I know who they are so I can contact them if they are still interested.

Could get my brother involved...

He wrote a add on script for COD3.

Also you need to get real, if you have no idea how to program, then you will have NO IDEA how to make a mmo.

Oh yeah, I renember you. You were the one trying to sell your acc in sal's.

Insane, I don't even have a account to sell. I also never tried to sell a account...
Anyways, I do have a good amount of expierence in programming.

Yes, I renember.

you wanted to sell some acc in the marketplace and I said it's against the rules and fini closed it. I post a link if you dont renember.
