How do these gaming companies get investors willing to fork out cash in order to help build a MMORPG that can take years to build?  Its the one step I am misisng on my own plan to build (actaully rebuild) a mmorpg.  I just played Aion just a few minutes ago and it reminded me 100% of WoW.   Its either WoW clones on the market, or total failures.  Its time for something that is actually new.  Someone needs to step up to the plate and make an actual good game.

The definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. When will developers (and players) become sane? Now go eat some grass like everyone else.

Raising capital is actually an easy process which is impossible to explain briefly. You have four main sources of capital:

-Self financing

-Banks/Credit insitutions

-Outside investors

-Government grants

You will have to contact one or more of these sources and submit a business plan for approval. I would recommend picking up one of a large number of books about this subject and/or take a class.

Read up a bit about angel investing.

Better to be crazy, provided you know what sane is...
