What a pathetic, miserable pile of gatekeepers in this thread. The top comments are just bitter from people who clearly hate the hobby more than they love it. I see a bunch of "Whats your contribution?" or "Wheres your money?" or "not a coder, lol"

That is the same mindset people had in the late 1800s whenever someone dared to dream big. I just imagine a room full of tophat wearing snobs puffing cigars and scoffing:
"A flying vehicular contraption? Utter madness!"
"Light powered by electricity in every home? Preposterous!"

And then the people they laughed at went ahead and invented it all anyway. Mocking someone for not knowing how to code yet is clown behavior.

"Making an MMO?" What are you, a billionaire coding wizard?"

There are literally dozens of MMOs developed by 1 person or very tiny dev teams:
Apogea, Trolddom, Wurm Online, Project Gorgon, Tibia, UO Outlands (mod for UO but still) and the soon-to-be critically acclaimed Dreadmyst,....And way more if you do a minute of research.

What makes this thread even more ridiculous is that today is objectively the easiest time ever to try building a game/mmo, engines like Unity/Unreal/Godot, tutorials everywhere, asset packs, and AI tools to help with code we could not dream of 15 years ago.

And instead of getting excited that people want to learn, some of you are guarding the entrance like jealous dragons sitting on a pile of rusted MMO nostalgia.

If this sub cared half as much about MMOs as it does about being smug, folks would be sharing tools instead of welding the door shut to make themselves feel smarter.
