How do you make a MORPG? i mean what kind of scripts and other things and so on. How does it work? and what version of RPG Maker works best? and what about game maker 7?
Any help is appreciated.

You will find lots of software, scripts and resources for making an MMORPG around the net. But you'll still need to get a dedicated server, time, money and a staff to successfully run it online.
I may suggest some programs, but I don't know about RMXP or Game Maker 7 for this. :(
If you want the information, let me know. :)

I'll go straight to the point. Don't use RPG Maker. You'll never make it. Do a search on google for "Elysium Debugged". That's a program you can use for making an MORPG.

I was searching for Elysium Debugged and I just felt like I should just post this link because it appears to be useful... http://www.splamm.com/elysium/guide/index.php (http://www.splamm.com/elysium/guide/index.php)
-
alright thanks.
would that elysium source thing, would I be able to have someone else host the server? Alright I'll do some research.
-
splamm was what I was refering to. And you'll have to look it up yourself. You can hst the server on your computer or whatever. There are a lot of tutorials on their forum site that should tell you everything you need to know.
-
ok thanks again.
ya saw the tutorial just now and im going to read it.
-
Ahh... By the way, the tutorial/guide thing is already on the server thingy on the help tab XP. MAN! I was using Diamond for the last hour and it's so confusing... T_T Lominisio, I don't know how you can do it... XP
-
Personaly I found Diamond rather easy. When you open up the server there's a built in text tutorial you can read.

I guess I'm just a retarded then. XD There's so many things that I don't know what something does. :P I'm going to try to make something! >:]

That is if you are not serious about the game. A game without a staff to moderate the server while users play will be chaos. Dedicated servers need money. Unless you are lucky and find someone to host your game without complications. But if you plan to have a big player base, then you WILL need money.
I am not talking about just creating the game. I am talking about maintaining it. Because, unlike offline RPG's, online ones need to be maintained and taken care of. Otherwise, they won't work. What about bug exploitation, spam, and abuse of the game's features? Novice players will have a terrible time there, and will eventually leave shortly after joining. If there is no control, there's no game.
Finally, there is the updating of the game. Fixing bugs and adding content to keep people coming for more. That is, and will always be something important for a serious MMORPG's success.
I am not a professional, but these are obvious things you learn while studying the subject and playing many MMORPG's.
By the way, I recommend Elysium Diamond for first-timers. It is much easier than what you think. The hard part is getting the game online, as I have already said. You'll need a server. Servers are not free, unless you have it in your computer, something I don't recommend unless it is well-secured.
For more advanced and serious games, try VBGore. It is much more flexible and has more features. It is another Visual Basic ORPG engine, but the most powerful, or so many agree.
Good luck!
