That why I was planning on hiring people instead of using them after all programmers are pretty cheap.

Hmm..

there cheap if they have no experience,
the problem is that building any kind of mmo with a team thats has no experience is practically sentencing your project to death before its even started.

for a mmo of this scale you need people with skills in
-general game development
-databases
-network design
-network security
-distributed architecture
-3d graphics
-mathematics

Even experienced programmers are relatively cheap in the Philippines.
I never intended to base this in North America.
So far I have done one self made game for self use, its pretty much a basic balloon popper that i use to train for fps.

I have done some slightly relevant work,
In 3d landscape, Photoshop.

and a 2d RPG that barely fits the description of a game (the games so bad i usually don't even mention it) that I made awhile back.

So far my plan is to condition myself for the next year by making a few simple games and some mods.
Then move on to the phils and gather the team depending on there collective experience move on to greater projects eventually going to the mmorpg/fps.

Thanks for the list, simon the only problem may be the person in general game design those may be hard to find in developing Asia
