well, i have started to develop a mmorpg with some friends. if there are some more people in the mmorpg.com community who wants to jump into the mmo-wagon let me know. later on i will be posting more info about it.

If this project got serious, I'd still donate money even if it was a game I would never play (like with permadeath) just because I support the idea of having choice/freedom and more variety in the genre.

New ideas, fresh faces etc.

I like the idea itself  and i would certainly love to see how it turns out.

There is one big problem though; asking it here people all want something different. You won't be able to please everyone so you either have to set some goals yourself or let people vote on things like that.

So depending on what kind of mmo it would be and other specifics i would back it IF it appeals to me because like food i want to taste everything i make :)

The only downside is that once an indy developer makes something really cool, the big companies gobble them up and assimilate them into their inky empty black heart cavities.

 It's hard for most people to turn down millions of dollars.

Would I "sell out" if given the chance? You bet your ass I would lol

That is true but i personally wouldn't, not even if they gave me an exclusive sports car and villa to accompany the cheque.

I think it's integrity and leadership that would make the difference there.

I might consider it.  Those millions of dollars give you a lot more opportunity to create the thing you really wanted to in the first place.

Thats the catch

You would sell out in order to make the thing you really wanted to do ...

But if the game you making is the game you wanted to do ?

This. So much this.

As much as I love this community.

We are one of the most deeply divided and diverse out there!

We could never agree on an MMO! Personally I would want open worlde PvP on a massive scale. Many others would dismiss this as a gankfest... you see the problem.

That said I would pledge some £££ if this project looked like getting off the ground.

I'll get Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland on it right away. We'll have it knocked out by the end of the month.

I bet most people who say they would turn down millions of dollars would truthfuly not turn down millions of dolllars if they were actually offered it.

We can all say "i'd never do this that or this" until we get in the situation. That is humanity and logic 101.

Besides, there is a guy (check out Massively.com) who won the lotto recently doing exactly this - Kickstarter MMO project.

Unfortunately having an opinion on which features should be implemented and having sound judgement do not go hand in hand.  All complex projects need a clear consistent vision with little to no scope creep to be successful.
