There will be no payment unless the game starts to make money and then everyone will recieve a percentage of the profit depending on what and how much they did.

And so what were you going to do on the project?

Well i know that you should do something if you lead a team so you can atleast get something done even if you don't have anyone else. What I do and eventually will do is graphics, music, moderate the forums, help out with designing/creating the website, public relations, advertising and that's about it for now although I'm probabaly going to try to learn c++ for my own benefit and for the games benefit. Also we don't need anyone for sound effects anymore now that we're starting to get more people=)

:'( cool you got a 6 rating i think that says a lot. Also so sorry I havn't explained exactly what every word i said meant for some idiots. Also apparantly you don't read because it's only supposed to be helpful criticism n I don't even know why they havn't banned you yet.

Did you look at his signature? Also, although he is rather cruel with some of his statements, they make sense in a general sort of way. Here is what he meant, shortened: do you know what you're doing? Almost everyone who starts making an MMO drops the project after a few months (or even weeks) because it is too time-consuming and they cannot pull it off. Generally, the only people who can make MMORPGs are big companies like Blizzard, etc. Raduprv and maybe two others are exceptions, don't compare your chances to theirs if you are a newbie. They are all very experienced programmers who know what they are doing and how to do it.

Here we have you. You know you want to make an MMO, but you don't seem to be able to contribute anything to your own project, because you don't know how to do anything for it. You said you would learn C++. Well, my friend, you are going to have to learn it for a while. I've been programming in C++ for 4 years now, and most of my projects failed, all because I was aiming too high. Choose what you are going to do, learn how to do it, and above all start simple. That's what Raduprv did, and that's what pretty much everybody on the board did as well. Nobody, and I mean nobody, makes an MMO for their first project and actually finishes it.

Conclusion: You said you wanted to learn C++. This is _very_ good, this will help you a lot. Once you know the language (obviously not all of it, but enough) make something simple like a Rogue-like. Then convert it to a MUD. Then, start on graphics. Make PONG. Then make online PONG. Then make Breakout, and then online Breakout. Build it from there.

Good luck, my young Jedi Apprentice. [grin]
