Hi everyone i think i have found a way to create an mmo in verge im not to sure on all the details but so far i have worked out the following
items that could be easily or seemingly so to do.
Ok, so first the basics we of course need a way to connect to a server or something similar to a server IE: LAN connection or game 2 game over a local net work where one game servers as host and the others connecting would be the clients and vice versa.
Also we would have a database of some kind for the clients to connect with upon contacting the server and thus allowing the online aspect of our mmo.
Any way this is a short paragraph on how an mmo could be possibly created in verge yes i am aware of the more technical aspect of such a project i just wanted to put this out their and see if anyone thought it may be worth doing i have the project under construction at the moment i have a very basic engine and i probably will release the source once its completed no release date set yet but if all goes right soon as possible thanks for your time guys.

Being that I am now closer to the end than the beginning (I hope!), I think it's safe for me offer some tidbits of wisdom based on my experience:
However long you think it will take, it will take longer, by at least an order of magnitude. Creating this game will completely and utterly sap your will to live. By the end, you will gain 40 lbs, speak only incoherent nonsense, be disowned by your dog, and be left wondering "Where did those last couple years go?".
It will be, for all intents and purposes, impossible to complete with a small team (and I've yet to see anyone pull together, let alone coordinate a 50-man VERGE team) and your game will have to be severely compromised to reach completion. The game you end up with will not be the one you fell in love with early on. This is, without exception, soul-crushing.
I applaud anyone who likes to dream big, but know that if you miraculously don't burn out before you reach the finish line, you will immediately afterwards. In short: don't do it. But if you do, make sure it's cool so we have something fun to play.
