Question

Hi there. I was wondering if it was possible to create a fully featured MMO with Torque. If it is, how would that be done exactly? Are there certain tools to create one that are part of the software itself, or would there have to be an extension program to be added onto the software to be hooked up to a server?

My team is looking for a game engine like Torque to create a 3D MMO, but we'd like to know it's capabilities first before we go buying the software.

Thanks for the help,
CDMS

Hi. As far as I know, there are several MMO's out there that have been done with T3D (maybe previous versions of the engine, TGEA/TGE, not sure about that). There's a demo version available that contains the same features as the paid version on the product page (there). You might also want to check the "games" tab on that same page. Good luck with your project.

Thanks for the response, and I appreciate it, but does anybody know if it is possible with this addition of Torque3D to make an MMOG? Is there a special type of software I'd need?

Thanks

I would more highly recommend something like Hero Engine for an MMO type project. Torque CAN do it, but is not tailored for it out of the box, and takes some pretty hefty refactoring to get started.

Also, your team needs to read this: [INFO] Before posting about an MMO, please read this...

I'd recommend sitting down with your designers and fleshing out much of the world, items, actions, etc, so that you know what you need to implement. A "full featured" MMO is really just an MMO containing all the features you want, and to be honest, more than 90% of MMOs today don't have a very rich feature set...
