A NEW MMO..
Where could i discuss my idea for a new MMO, like with people that could assist me?

Im 14, with no programming experience, just saying, so heres my idea

MMO, for those of you who dont know, is a Massively Multiplayer Online game.

Usually, when i have nothing better to do, and im bored of PS3, i get on the computer and hunt down an MMO. With MMOs, you get many genres, fantasy, shooter, social, sci-fi, space, futuristic, medieval, stuff like that. Usually i like to play the more futuristic MMOs, because the fantasy/medieval crap is super gay.

Well anyways, heres the game idea: the year is 5074, the human race has escaped the confines of Earth and have begun to colonize the galaxy. Colonization became necessary back in the year 2130, due to lack of resources on Earth and over population. So governments began to merge efforts to gather resources from around the solar system in order to build colony ships, stripping the moon almost bare, and depleting most of the asteroid belt.

Once the ships were built, 2/3 of the earths 16 billion inhabitants boarded the massive ships and prepared for the long journeys to their target planets, the longest voyage taking around 500 years in real time, about 20 or so years in near lightspeed times.

On the way, smaller ships leave the worldship to diverge to other star systems in order to cover a larger distance.

It is now the year 2600, all colonies are in place, (im going to borrow an idea from Ender's Game, the ansible radio) and the human race is practically an empire, occupying 150 star systems in our arm of the galaxy. ~no this is where i need help~ The government *i need help with names* back on Earth that governs all of the colonies has now discovered a method of traveling faster than the speed of light, able to appear anywhere almost instantly, as if magic. Basically, you tear through the space and time fabric, leave the universe, so that your are outside of it, then the computer opens the fabric and places you at your destination, thus enabling us to go anywhere, while also being efficient.

With this new technology the human race could go anywhere in the galaxy, and the universe at that, instantaneously. So fast forward to a few years before your game starts.

The central government has began to crumble. The people have begun to form factions, all trying to achieve economic domination and political domination. ~once i get enough feedback, ill create the factions~

Now, you enter the game. You are in an medical bay in one of the old worldships, now being used as a space station. You have been in a coma for 100 years, due to a space battle with a mercenary fleet around Canis Majoris. After a couple years in a comatose state, your wife/husband decided to place you in cryo. After a couple of year in, your wife/husband died from cancer, leaving you unattended until a medbay officer needs the cryo unit you are in due to overcrowding.

Once you thaw out, you awaken, disoriented and with no memory. After a few minutes you begin hearing a voice in your head, and your vision blurs, and what appears to be a computer screen replaces your sight. It is you AI companion, which briefs you on what happened, where you are and puts you through a tutorial. Once out of the tutorial, you can choose you player type, merchant, miner, politician, police, soldier, or mercenary, then you choose your faction. Once you begin you can either start making some money and leveling up, or test your fighting skills in PVP.

In this game, you can buy any clothes you want, armor, weapons, and once you reach level 20, you can buy your own ship, produce items, mine asteroids, destroy enemy factions *not permanantly*, and do whatever you want really, i plan to revolutionize MMOs.

any feedback is welcome.

step one: don't post in an ARCHIVED section. (A moderator will move this for you, probably to the Puppetmaster HELP section.)

step two: write! It sounds like you have story ideas that could fill a book.

step three: build a team. No MMORPG on the planet was built by a single person.

or, instead:
step 1: buy a web domain.
step 2: ???
step 3: PROFIT!

Moved the thread to Player Help.

Also, what you describe is already pretty much done: EVE Online.

I thought I smelled a spammer. Try a google search for "With this new technology the human race could go anywhere in the galaxy" and see this spread across the multiverse. (Thank you for removing the sig link, N.)

Too funny. This new wave of "intelligent" spammers cracks me up.

I kinda miss the days they were the son of a murdered King of Africa. Cool
