Text based mmo

[Far Cry]

What are some ideas for a text based mmo?

[Pikachu2000]

www.kingdomofloathing.com is one you can probably get some inspiration from.

Here's an idea: don't do it.

 

If you are looking for a fun way to learn web development, and it's purely for personal/academic reasons, then okay...but if you think you're going to get rich off it...lol.

I got into web development via MMORPG's, although I should omit the first M; I used to play a game called NY-Mafia as a kid and wanted to make my own, got some scripts, started copying and pasting bits to create the functionality I wanted, then reading and writing bits, then I started coding full add-on scripts. Now I'm a junior web developer, by no means a great web developer, but I aspire to be

 

 

I had my own game for a while, then gave the scripts away, I don't have them any more, it was called NY-Mobster (imaginative, I know lol), maybe you can get hold of them somewhere, but it's a pain in the arse to run one, and you definitely won't make any substantial amount of money, I would make anywhere up to 100 pounds a month, but would spend 15 hour stints programming features and updates, it's really something you've just got to enjoy doing.

Is that before or after hosting/bandwidth costs?

I had a friend that was nice enough to host me for free

That's all the data I can find on it, got a few payments for programming on other peoples games too.

I also feel that I neglected to mention that this very forum played an integral part to my progression as a developer, so if it is a learning experience you're after, stick around here, ask questions, answer questions; people will correct you if you get it wrong, but it's all part of the learning process, so don't take it personally, the word 'criticism'; is only seen around here on the right hand side of

echo 'constructive '.
