I'm making an MMORPG using this program.

I've already set up the server, now I just need to make my game. Many of you have played MMO's before. So shoot me some suggestions for it! The programming is easy, but don't ask something outrageous like: "you can have an army of guy follow you and they like level up when..." yeah.

Wow!
A "regular user" making a game(just like me lol)!
This should be in the flash game section though.

Okay, have 3 classes! Like, Human, Troll and Elf. Something like that. Human can have bows and swords. Elf can use bows, and they are good at it. Trolls can use swords and axes, and they are good at it. Just some few ideas!

I thinking of making it "Zombie Apocalypse" themed. Do you think that would work?

Yeah, that is fine too... I think that there are so many Zombie games on ArmorGames though! Almost too many! Just don't make it too goory and bloddy. :S

I have one suggestion, but it has drawbacks so I will do a pros and cons thing.

Have sombies be players

Pros: get more people to play, lots more fun, better explanation for how you come ack from the dead; you don't. Until you get revived.

Cons: lots of greifing, it might not work if no zombies were on, it takes a lot of work to get it to be balanced, you have to keep it balanced or else no one will play.

have zomies be NPC's

Pros: none of the other one's cons.

Cons: none of the other one's pros.

So there you go.

Zega, a mmorpg normally has its own branch of website that it can be hosted from... Take runescape or maple story or ragnarok.

Btw, hope its really good LordBob ^^

Yeah, but sometimes they are on game sites too. I think I saw Runescape on a game site... *thinks back*

Well it's not flash, but I may think about advertising on AG
(which would cost a lot)

So here's what I was thinking:
There are 3 "Safe Spots" one is a large camp in the forest. One is a cave hideout. the last one is in every town, a barricade house where you can rest and get ammo. There are 3 classes, medics, soliders, and survivors.

there are 2 types of weapon, makeshift and gun. Makeshift is good because you don't need to reload. guns are good because they deal loads of damage, but are expensive to get and maintain.

Survivors = makeshift
Soldiers + medics = gun

so far i like the idea of the three classes, but what would the story be? and combat, would it be player vs. player or player vs computer or both? both may be more interesting, but if there aren't many players that can be on at one time, u might wanna just do player vs computer and just have lots of "missions" like the quests in runescape.
