I've had the same idea for a while now, just haven't had time to get around to making it. Well, for starters you should use PHP and a MySQL database. The game should be free for the first couple of months, until bugs have been sorted out and the game has a few players. Take a look at successful web-based games like Outwar and Kingdom of Loathing (to name a few).
 
u could start out with simple platform of 2D. Just to get the feel os things.A very good example is www.runescape.com this is a very poor quality mmorpg but it's addictive a hell. maybe have a look and see... get some ideas. Played that game for about 18 months. However i'm now ready for the real MMORPG's

I would def. support a south african MMORPG (Proudly South African)

Great Guys keep the ideas coming can't wait to see the SA gaming industry bloom......:rolleyes:
 
yeah something like dungeon keeper or dungeon siege, but i think it would have to be hosted locally so we can all play when capped lol
 
Sounds like a plan, but it depends on how many players will play,

I don`t think a local server will pay it self, cos at the moment i cant even get my idea forum filled with people, how would i get people for the game, once its done.
 
yeah its hard to attract people to a site that you have put so much time into, trust me lol. But i think for something like this its original to South Africa, and if i had the oppurtunity to do something a bit more stimulating when capped than browse all the forums i would lol :)
 
wish more people in SA would invest in gameing right here on our home soul.....

Damn think of the Latency speeds.....lmao. So the Pommies and the American Idiots have some lagg for a change.

Pls guys.... we need your input on this....Invest. Invest. Invest. Invest.

Peace out.....(Loves SA)
 
So what idea for a game do you have?
Who's doing the graphics?
Who's doing the programming?

Paid? What do you get when you are a paid member? I just started but I haven't seen anything about paid membership?
 
lol, I play on Server 1 (see you're on Server 4)

Plus membership allows you to see when buildings will be done including when you will have enough resources to build a building and you can queue up to 2 builders. With Romans I think its up to 3, you can level up 2 resource fields including building one building.

Enjoy :p
 
Game Idea

From my limited knowledge of web based games, the whole land grab/ medi-evil thing seems to have been done as well as the character advancement-equipement based games. So 2 ideas that sprung to mind when i saw the post would be:

1. Factory
4 Layer game. 1 being main focus of the characters factory (Base of opperations, landing doc, etc.) 2 being the actual space fighter (means of transport, income and survival) 3 the Avatar (lvl based on combat proficiency & general factory maintenance) 4 being very minor, avatar equipment (mainly for show and prestige).

2. Workshop
same as above based around cars/bikes/trains/wtfe
