Well, I'd recommend I dunno..maybe an emulated version of a popular game. I personally play on a private server now that basically used the client alike you'd use "rpg maker". So in a sense, it became an MMORPG maker. No, I won't tell you what game. No, I won't tell you what server I play on, and NO, I won't tell you where to find emulation materials. Do that work on your own, as they violate the TOS for this website, and could potentially get me sued by the company who makes it. I will give you a hint. It's NOT Ragnarok or any of the asian based games.

If I read it right he gave you a hint. Here I'll give you a hint too. If you want to make your own MMO DO NOT USE A RAGNAROK ONLINE EMU PROGRAM LIKE eATHENA. DO NOT LOOK FOR IT AND DONT USE IT!
Oh and guys, please don't bash newbies to the forums too hard, it just hurts mmorpg.com .

Okay, there are a lot of people that don't understand the simple idea of hobby developement. When making any hobby project you're not really trying to make Half-Life 2 or EQ2 out of your garage. You're basically just dicking with an idea and you don't really care that it looks like shit or that most of the code came from somewhere else. This is why most hobbiest use premade egines like Torque or A6. We don't do this full time and don't have the time to try and re-invent the fucking wheel.
College? For a hobby? Thanx, but I taught myself how to program in C when I was 12 I don't need to blow $20K+ on a degree that won't get me job because all the work has been shipped to Pakistan. Besides, I already have a job and that's why I use premade engines. When you are programming FOR FUN and you have to SPLIT YOUR TIME between work and family, you tend to skip the little shit in order to get on with the good stuff. And no, you don't need a team of 20+ people to make a game. You can make a fairly decent budgetware quality game by yourself for free if you put the time into it. Given, an MMO is a really different kind of game and it's just slightly more complicated than making a single player RPG, it can still be done by about 5 people in a little under 6 monthes. And yes, one of those people had better be a network programming guru. If you want proof, take a look at all the free UO shards that are out or just gander at Graal or Kingdom of Drakkar. Astonia 3 also comes to mind as a game that you could've been made by hobbiest in their spare time. These games are butt ugly and simple but that's the way hobbiest do things.
As far as out of the box MMO engines are concerned...... Realmcrafter isn't out yet and Worldforge is both complicated and almost totally undocumented. the only other project like this that I know of is Genecys and it's open-source just like Worldforge.
STOP posting like that, it took me like 10 seconds to read that 1 line of text! it's a sorry immitation of true "1337" speak, and it's annoying. Wheres the guy that's all up on proper grammar when you need him?
Also, game making as a hobby usually works, or low budget (as in not giant mediocre games that cost millions of dollars to make (and would probably only take at most $100,000 AT MOST...EXTREMELY MOST if a hobbiest/low budget dev group did the same game)) dev teams can make good/decent games for very little money, Redbedlam (creators of Roma Victor) has made something that may very well be epic (if the graphics aren't outstanding yet, oh well)
