I have a new idea ok the game would be a mmorpg it would start in like a high tech earth this game would be alot like star wars galaxys except combat wouldnt be based on a skill system but first person type requiring you to be good on your own behalf not the games but you have to earn certs for your weapons so u just cant go buy the best weapon in the game also the whole game is player vs player so you are always on egg shells also the best part is the egineer crafter portion if your a 3d modeler and you have the means to create a good model you can submit it to the devs and after they have received the model they review it texture it make it workable and then you recieve a email in the game telling you if it was accepted or not most will be if it was accepted you will recieve a email saying youhave been accepted please download plans for your new item you now have the plans and can make one of the unique items. Also the game will have housing and furniture. Tell me what you think.

Is this your first attempt at a game? if so, I would suggest you try to fry a smaller fish. Attempting a MMORPG as your first game is just rediculous, especialy if you have little to know coder knowledge/experince or a background in software development.Just keep one word in mind...

Man, I was so hoping this was going to be one of those joke threads when I saw the title.

Um... So you want furniture and shooting? So what would everyone be fighting over? The latest furniture? I mean come on! Why not throw in some racing puzzle platformer action while you're at it? Did this idea just come to you today? It's so well thought out and you worded it perfectly.-Peter

Sounds alot like PlanetSide, even though I never played it the premis sounds similar.

seriously, maybe once a week we see people with these grand ideas. dont get me wrong, i like grand, it's how we ALL started... hopes lifting us high into the heavens only to get burnt by that big shiney star we want to reach :)
Modesty is key... I only claim what I know I can achieve, which is why thus-far I have not made mention of any game yet.
I have really grand game ideas, but my first game? will most likely be a chess clone. My second game will build on that (probably a final-fantasy-tactics type game) and my third game i WANT to be a army-based tactics game, but anything beyond game#1 is really just a guesstimate at what my future will bring.

Joe, dont listen to most of their posts. However, they have posted some good pointers. This game, if its your first one, is going to be way to hard for you to make. Not many devs here have achieved MMO state. MoM is one that has it down but youre talking about a totally different combat system. Um..if I were you I'd make some mods to the starter.fps. Basically just buy a content pack and make some missions for a while. Learn the basics. I started that way last year and now I'm finally beginning to start making games. But most of them are incomplete and in need of teams. If I were you, I'd learn the basics, make a simple FPS after you master the basics, then work your way up on the indie foodchain.

PS has some pretty heavy memory requirements (1gig recommended), but other than that, just about every machine out there these days should handle it no problem. I understand you can even download (HUGE) a trial these days. When I finally deleted my PS directory not so long ago, it had over 3 gigabytes of Stuff in it, though that included their expansion pack.
Start small, work your way up. If you can't make asteroids, PS][ is WAY beyond you.

Yep. Planetside... thought the "player submitted model" thing hasn't been done yet... there's probably a reason. What do you do when some kid submits a model they don't own, you accept it, and it makes it into your game? You strap on some aspestos underwear, and head off to court, that's what.

I'm sorry but i think you are a little bit original,& i think you should think your idea's through a little bit longer.I also think you should stop copying other game developers idea's & come up with your own idea's,as i think that i would rather play a real game developed by people that know what they are doing!!!sincerly K.R.M

@Mark, It may had a 1gig RAM recommended, but I played PS with a few features turned off on 768RAM and a Geforce 3.

Oh, and the idea's not too shabby either.
