Heres the deal, im one of those I wana make an MMORPG Kids, but that dream failed every time i attempted it, now i have a basic understanding of programming ive played around with dark basic a little, i dont know all the commands/ syntax of most stuff but anyways
i have a new plan for a game but id like to know if the developer community would be enough to get me threw all my huge troulbes i would have... beacuse this game would have to be multiplayer, but not HUGE maybe like 10 ppl at the most , 1 small map, 1 or 2 classes to choose from, couple skills per class, thats about it, how hard would this be to make how long would it take .... is there enough tutorials to explain everything i would need for this?...
thats all thanks

I was getting ready for a good laugh when I read that first sentence. You could certainly accomplish this with regular TGE since it's not really an MMO. Instead of trying to create this item first, start with some basic building blocks and work up from there. Spend a little time with the FPS starter kit, get to know basic input, etc. Then work up to a simple networked application, etc.
There are going to be time where you'll have to rely on an understanding of computers, networks, programming, and TGE capabilities. Tutorials won't always be available, but just copying them won't teach you much if you aren't spending the time to understand them.

and lots to do with dedication and drive.
if you really want to do it, you can.
what you want here is trivial and could be most likely done 100% in script.
using code from various other scripts you can find.

To be honest, it has nothing to do with IQ.and lots to do with dedication and drive.

Take a look at MMOWorkshop. For the price of Torque and AFX, you get the MMOWorkshop code for free.
