3D MMORPG Engine

Gonebowlin · 2006-07-11T13:55:17

Hello Everyone, I am learning C++ and DirectX 9. I am getting the book "Programming Role Playing Games with Direct X Second Edition" I know it teaches you how to make a basic engine in that book, but I have a question. I heard the Quake II Engine could be downloaded and built and edited upon. Should I make my own from scratch or build on that. The type of game would be a MMORPG with combat like FFXI or Guild Wars, or something like that. Please point me in the right direction if this would even be the right engine for me. Plus, If the game were good enough, would I be able to make a profit out of it. Thanks.

A full MMORPG might be a 777 but you can start with a paper airplane. Given enough time and enough monkeys you can build a 777 :). If you set reasonable goals you won't be nearly as fustrated and it will be a lot easier to reach your final goals.

There are many things I could say here, but I'll leave you with this one: Would you fly on a 777 assembled by monkeys? :)
