Second ... you need to slow down and do some research ... if your asking for help with such a broad scope topic then it clearly identifies the fact that you've not taken ANY time to research matters for yourself.
Please do at least a minimum amount of research on your own, and then revisit the forums when you have more detailed questions to ask -- the answer to your questions so far can be just about anything, and the subject matter is so broad scope that it's near impossible to give a definitive answer ... one might say A while another says B ... and your still left with doing the research on your own to figure out whether A or B is better then C or D and if E is the right choice.

Well, first thing you need to learn is how to stick to a single topic thread ... I just replied to 3 of your threads and they all cover the EXACT SAME topic ...

OK. Sorry for not sticking to 1 thread i had no idea im pretty new to the whole forum thing. i have no idea where to research me and some of my friends want to creat a game but have no idea where to start to even think about creating it. i bought the book 3d game programming all in 1- that is how i heard about garagegames. if you want to you can close al of my other threads. I just want to buy some products and learn how to use them that is why i came to the forums to help. i didn't mean to upset the associates by doing what i did so if A!N!Y!O!N!E! can H!E!L!P! me with this please post this on this thread and ONLY! this thread and i am sincerley sorry for causing any inconvieniance

and then you open the script files and read them.
follow the execution path thru the scripts (where they start, and where they go)
which scripts are executed in what order.
begin then to understand a simple order of operations on that level.
once you have achieved that, you are ready to Modify those scripts to do stuff you want them to do.
if you can master all of that you are ready for the next step.
but before we get into that, go get some reading done.
and dont forget to have fun getting to know the scripts n stuff. that is important.

sorry, that was amusing :)
The short and simple answer to all of your questions is ... do some research. Unfortunately, your questions are just too broad scope to have a simple answer -- but for the short and simple attempt, a 3D MMORPG would be done with either TGE or TGEA ... to make it simpler, you could use something like the Minions of Mirth MMO Kit which has a lot of the hard work done for you ...
You can browse the forums here at GarageGames, run some queries on Google (or one of those other not so relevant search engines) ... as well as download demo's of all the products here at GG and try them out and see which one best suites your needs.
If you search for "MMORPG" on the GG Site, I'm sure you'll get a ton of results ... and almost every one of them will answer one or many of your questions ...
Oh and, another suggestion ... "H!E!L!P!" is unnecessary :)

Ok i have a question. What is the difference between an indie and a commercial liscense?

About $1250 and what your allowed to do ... the licenses identify the differences very clearly. The Indie version also identifies who is allowed to qualify for the purchase ... ie; if your company makes $X per year, you -MUST- purchase commercial.

When you buy torque game engine, does it come with an indie liscense or do you have to buy it seperate. and for the indie liscense, what is the maximum money you make for it to be an indie not a commercial liscense

Zach. Its 250000 big ones that you make for you to have to buy a commercial license. Now if your an indie and you make a game then sell it and now you got that much and you want to put out another one then you got to buy commercial. But your indie.
