stop double posting and you are dumb..

Making a game is not simple at all. Just because you see a MMORPG don't think you can do better then them or make some thing like theres. Those people are dedicated people working every day. Go google about programming languages and start learning from tutorials.

From the way that you talk in that quote makes me think you have no idea what to do and what it takes to make a MMORPG like Gaia Online.

What? those aren't games....are just communties with other feature implemented, man, I think your just trying to get some money from an old and copyrighted idea...try to make something new instead!

gaia online was made in php mysql and javascript

Try learning C++!

Dont listen to him learn java!

Screw em both, learn ASM and be leet!

Go learn html and make a MMORPG in 1 hour its not too hard. I made 5 today. Just in case you were wondering I'am being sarcastic. Just look at different sources of the hello world program and whichever you seem to like the most learn that.

go W3Schools Online Web Tutorials (http://www.w3schools.com)

Please Help

facking doble poster
look in game denvelopment thers maybe a program u can use^^

Yeah, go to W3Schools Online Web Tutorials (http://www.w3schools.com)

Hmmm why dont you try to create somthing original like I am doing with my game. Learn a real programming launguage or i suggest Game Maker and learning GML then after youve masterd that learn C++ or C

You could make a game out of web page scripting believe it or not.

Oh yea you can, like small fun games though. I have seen some.

You can actually learn general HTML in about 2 weeks. It's not all that hard to learn. JavaScript, on the other hand, takes about a month or so just to get down the general ideas.

I wouldn't suggest trying it at all gaia owns there own tower with millions of millions of servers they own there own SERVERS they spend thousands of thousands of dollars daily for that community but make alot more through donation items and thats a huge team! Don't try it unless your willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars..

c++ all the way its hard but do it!

Gaianline wasnyt made in C++ lol its php and i personaly prefer java

Benjamin, you don't need hundred of thousands of dollars to make any kind of game.

Don't listen to the naysayers. A worthy dream is a worthy dream.
Here's probably all you need to create a dynamic avatar community with phpbb (like Roliana.com, Zantarni.com <--- You should totally visit them very cool site and Menewsha).

You can also hire someone to modify the phpbb dybnamic avatar mod above.

All you need now if the glamour in your imagination. That should be cake for a dreamer.

Well PHP and Mysql is only half the battle, the other part you would have to learn would be flash (when i say that i mean actionscript or flex as well).

We had a similar post in the web game are of the forums, where someone wanted to know how to make a game like XXXXX.

If you want to know how to design a game, then you cant really... its either something you can do or something you cant. Being able to program and do artwork helps, but if you dont know how to work out getting from your start point of having nothing to your end point of having a game with lots of people you will just end up wasting your time.

If you want to know how to implement a game, then you need to learn server side technologies (php/asp/cold fusion... any other random languages) as well as client side technologies (silverlight/flash/javascript/html/css). Then once you know enough about them you will have to learn more about databases (mysql/mssql... other DB engines).
At this point you are ALMOST ready to start implementing your game. You are still missing artworkers and other resources that will acctually provide the content for the game you code, now getting them to work for free on a project that you havent even started yet will be tough. Even if you do get them, there is no telling if they can do the job or not, so you may end up wasting lots of time with crappy art before you get some good ones.
THEN once you have acctually coded your back/front end and got them all communicating and you have had a quick play and it looks nice and functional. You will need to get a server online which may cost between £50-£200 per year to host, and that will only really support a few hundered people if you have coded it to a semi reasonable level.
Now you have to get players, now that will take some advertising as well as alot of work in your communities making sure players are happy and the game is performing how YOU want as well as how the PLAYERS want.


Lets hope you have the time and motivation to follow it through, i didnt even include the part about managing your team and resources ;)

Learn HTML and you will make the next WoW or you can pray to the MMORPG gods and they will make one for you,but ya google it, there is a lot of books on amazon about gamedev look @ them.
