Hi all, this is my first post here.  My name is Jake Ziering, I am a college student in Redlands, CA.

I believe I have an idea that falls easily within the scope of already existing technology and software for MMORPGs.  But I lack technical skills outside of very basic C++ knowledge, and would love if some of you bright people gave me advice here.

I am trying to write a business proposal, but have no idea what the functional cost (in terms of labor or existing platforms) would be for the task I require. . .even a basic idea would help me with a figure for what I need.

This project would require:

1.  A very detailed avatar customization process that people could use to approximate their own likeness (body more important than face).

2.  A very detailed object design screen that non-developers could use to create very customizable items, for instance the many different fashions, sizes, etc of a shirt.

3.  A team capable of making a VERY basic MMORPG structure (without gameplay considerations - my project is NOT an MMORPG).

How much might these things cost to produce?

Where is the place that one such as I might start?  I imagine that I'll need some technical data before I go to prospective investors, but how will I get that technical data (code and such) without said investments, assuming I can't do it myself.

I'd be happy to divulge more information on a private basis, so if this perks your interest, please drop a line.  I really think the idea is golden, and easily exploitable by a small group of savvy people.
