   PHP/MySQL MMORPG
  Hi All!Just signed up! Thought I should introduce myself.I'm a full-time web developer and have always wanted to make an MMORPG.This is my 3rd attempt, and I think I'll be able to pull through this time. I've gotten farther than ever before!I've created the map engine, registration and character creation process, in game chat, and GUI from scratch so far.It's amazing how intense and complex the code can become, especially with browser-based games and security. I'm double checking and srubbing input like crazy.Anyway, just shoutin'-Spikku

Which is more than most composers manage.;  Welcome!Don't mind Zahlman. People here get cranky when somebody announces they are going to make an MMORPG. Usually only a total newb would even consider making an MMORPG.But in your case, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt since this is your third try, and you have acknowledged how complex the project has already become without getting very far into it.   ;Quote:Original post by ZahlmanQuote:Original post by spikkuI'm a full-time web developer and have always wanted to make an MMORPG.This makes about as much sense as "I'm a conductor and I've always wanted to write an opera".There's actually a couple of MMORPGs written in PHP. KoL is bloody awesome, and you should definitely try it if you haven't. Another one that comes to mind is Urban Dead, which wasn't nearly as fun (though #gamedev was kind of into it a couple years ago). Then there's the hundreds of really really shitty web "MMORPGs" which are basically just "Log into the site once a day, click some buttons, and be done".To the OP - there's really no point to this thread. Next time post in "Your Announcements" if you just want to shout out [razz]
