To make an MMORPG, it takes:

• A lot of experience
• A team of devoted programmers
• Lots and lots of time

There's no such thing as an "MMORPG creator" - you just have to sit and endure all the beginnings of programming before you can move on to something like this.

Start small ~ heck, there are plenty of people here who have been programming for years, and still couldn't create an MMORPG, me being one of them.

Take it slow, start from the basics. Get a good knowledge and understanding of your language, and then move on to some simple graphics. Build from there, learn connectivity, etc, and you could be working on one a massive project in a few years

Basically, what I'm saying is work your way up. I remember advising you on languages the other day, and trust me, it's a lot of hard work. Start small, create some simple console games first ~ after a few weeks (or quicker, depending on your rate of learning), you should be able to create tic-tac-toe, etc.

I'm sorry, but if you have to ask then it's beyond your abilities. Just because you don't want to hear something doesn't make it any less true.

These guys are right, I know its hard to hear but an MMORPG is one hell of a hard and time consuming project, there are no tutorials for this as if you learn the language yourself you should be able to pull it off. Think big ,Start small is the best advice anyone can give you, good luck though

I've written tutorials for parts of making an MMORPG but you will need to do lots of work.

A beginner should not be making anything bigger than an arcade game, hell even I have problems making a full scale game even though I know how to do it.

ok then can you give me some help in making a simple RPG game??

i meean very simple

i just want a graphic to move when i use the arrorw keys and i want it so if i use the Z button yh character attacks...

can sombody help me out with this.

...did you read any of Wolfcoder's tutorials? It sounds to me like he already has given you help. You're asking for "anything" but you seam to want everything provided for you. Read.

Before I start, this may sound like I'm having a go. I'm not, it's just some advice:

In the world of programming, you can't expect to have everything handed to you on a plate. You need to do some of your own research.

At the end of the day, no one knows everything there is to know... everyone still has to do some research once in a while, that's what MSDN is for.

I know that I personally have made a few suggestions, about books that you should try studying in order to lead up to making a game.

You can't start and expect to be able to make the next runescape, or wurm, or whatever... stick with the simple console apps, and work your way up.

Like I said before, you can't expect people to do everything for you. And, when you first start programming, it may be tough... you just have to stick at it. Ask anyone here how they learned, and most likely the answer will be "sitting up until the early hours of the morning figuring out how the simplest of applications work.

Again, sorry if this sounds like I'm having a go at you.

To be honest I'm not taking trickster090 serious anymore, seems like he's taking the proverbial michael.

So in a last ditch attempt to possibly help him out, which hopefully should consequently make him go away
heres a link. you'll never have to touch a line of code trickster090

If you are strictly interested in creating a RPG with no coding experience check out RPG Maker XP, requires absolutely no coding, however some of the scripts are written in Ruby so modification is possible when and if you decide to pick up Ruby.

Pretty sure i just said that :s

RPGMakerXP is ok but i always preferred the old school graphics of 2003, which is the link i posted

the link also has a an RPGMXP link if you graphically inclined.
