Some of you must only come to the "For Beginner" threads to try and make them quit and fail.


In all honesty what you asked is like going to a formula one racing forum and asking how to become the next formula one world champion, but you don't want to learn to drive a car.

The honest responses weren't surprising but I'm glad to see you learned from it and are taking action to learn a new skill :)

Nah he never denied doing the hardwork or learning a language, he just doesn't want to get side tracked with another language... and he had already stated he knew it was going to be a long time before he could achieve his goal. One of the reasons I don't "try to bring people down" is I understand how crucial motivation can be to the hard work part of the equation. Just remember I really suggest building a team after you learn the basics, mainly for content. You could handle the programming solo but doing the content as well is really difficult and time consuming.

I've cleaned up this thread somewhat, and issued warnings to the appropriate parties, for what it's worth.

bisjac, I think you have misunderstood to some extent the "point" of this forum. In particular, you say:

but when someone tells me to learn something I don't want to learn, instead of giving helpful information, it kind of defeats the purpose of this forum.

The point of this forum is for inexperienced developers to ask questions and get responses from the more experienced developers. It is not to tell you what you want to hear, and consequently sometimes the answers from the more-experienced developers might not be what you want to hear. You don't have to take that advice, but if you're going to ignore it you must do so respectfully.

You are expected to respect the time and effort those developers put into responding to you in the first place and not insult or abuse them, as they are expected to respect you and not insult you (et cetera) for disregarding their advice. This is a community and it is one built on mutual respect. That also means you have to be open to hearing the responses from others, as well, and it seems that you've made it clear you don't want to do that here, so I'm closing the thread before things get further out of hand.

You are welcome to create subsequent threads if/when you have further questions about your journey to becoming a programmer, but I expect you to keep what I've said above in mind.

And since it was never clearly stated, only hinted at through the thread...

A simple RPG framework that works over the network can be put together by an individual over a short time. Experienced individuals with the right tools can put together something minimal in the course of a few days. It won't be much, but it is something.

A MMO game, with the actual meaning of MMO, is currently measured in hundreds of years of total development time.

Both of those, guides to short development for simple online worlds and information about MMOs, have more detail in the Multiplayer and Networking FAQ.

It is probably also a good idea to re-read the For Beginners Forum Rules and FAQ which covers most of the original question.
