I am assuming we are talking about Multi User Dungeon here? Perhaps something similar to Colossal Cave would be far more easier to create. This post has been edited by DTR: 15 Aug, 2008 - 11:46 AM

The aspects you need for a simple text rpg (input-output, vectors, arrays) are not technically hard in C++, and if this is your first game, you shouldn't focus on anything except the basics, anyway. Take your time, buy a good book on C++, and read some tutorials. You'd be suprised at how complex a MUD is, even with high level languages.
