Hey there, new to these forums but you folks seem to know what you are doing.

I'm attempting to create a MMORPG, it has been a big dream of mine to put a story I have been writing for years into game function. so here is my main question.

What would you guys reccomend as a good MMORPG engine... preferebly free or cracked... I mean I don't exactly have much cash to shell out... some of the ones that would be neat to have (but I'm not sure supports MMO) are listed below

+Explore-RPG - Seems like a good engine... but hard to host...
+RPG Maker XP - I heard a rumor this has MMO capability, and I've loved the the RPG maker scripting system (so damn user friendly)
+RPG Maker 5 - Probabbly not MMO, but a 3d RPG engine would be sweet..

I'm currently using DIMCE, a lack luster engine that was spawned using the Mirage source code and based off of Playerworlds (R.I.P.), unfortunatly DIMCE has a horrible scripting system that doesn't allow complexity like books, specific NPC placement, Conversations, or even signs for that matter...

If anyone does help me find a good program (preferebly with the user friendlyness of RPG Maker), I'll try to make them a moderator once the game begins.

Another quick question is. Obviously hosting an MMORPG is difficult on your home computer, even DIMCE lags if I do ANYTHING else...so I was wondering what alternatives there were to easily host a game. If worst comes to worst I'll simply build a crummy computer out of old parts and use it as a host.

Thanks for your help everyone -Max

I honestly don't think there's any easy and free MMORPG game making englines. Game Maker is free, and is capable of making a game like this, but it'd also require you to learn the Game Maker language, which takes alot of time. No matter how you look at it, this game would take a LONG time to make.

If you want the link to Game Maker, PM me.


Also, if your willing to spend a LOT of money, than there are some really nice game making programs out there, many that support 3D modeling aswell. I would give you the link to those, but their all hundreds of dollars, and some even in the thousand range.

You could look on rubyforge.org and search for RMXP MMORPG project that a bunch of guys are making, since you seem to like RMXP....

I'm sure I saw another project like this. I'm pretty sure.

Edit: But yeah, I guess I messed up rubyforge and sourceforge
