Complete MMORPG Development Guide
by Dreamer · in Torque Game Engine · 12/20/2005 (3:02 am) · 594 replies
Hello everyone.
I have the MMORPG Advanced Tutorials completely rewritten for TGE 1.4, with all kinds of new features.
The new tutorial series is called "The Complete MMORPG Development Guide"
It is meant to take a person from the earliest stages of developing a game Conceptualization, Design Docs etc to a ready to ship MMO.
I am in the process of transcribing it to my site at mydreamrpg.com
This will be the final incarnation of the guide until there is a TSE for linux, at which time I will again do a port.
To access the development portions of the site as well as the code sections of the guide you will need to be a current TGE licensee. (currently you will need to be verified by emailing me after registration)
I am also launching a game based on the tutorials, as well as a second site DreamRPGOnline devoted exclusively to the game.
The guide is meant to be a living document and as new and better ways are discovered of doing things, it will be updated by the community that is building up around it.
A secondary goal is to provide a plethora of content for people looking to create rich worlds using the MMORPG enchancement kit I will be providing at no charge, as well as an open market for up and coming artists and coders to sell their content to help subisdize their own game development desires.
I want to stress upfront that this site is NOT meant to compete in anyway with garagegames, in fact to access the vast majority of content on the site you will need to be a TGE licensee.
In fact it is my strong desire to spur sales here of indie games and content, and to increase the interest and awareness of crossplatform indie created games.
I also (quite intentionally), make heavy use of content and packs which can only be purchased here at garagegames.com
Without these packs the full richness of the guide and MMORPG enchancement kit cannot truely be experienced.
I hope everyone here enjoys the site and at least comes to pay us a visit.
We will be doing a load test and server burn in on our game servers as soon as I have enough users on the site who wish to participate and I could sure use your help in doing this.
Regards,
Dreamer

Everyone who had accss before has not lost it, but everyone still needs to re-register
Problem is the tables we too different to just import.
If you re-register on the site the old DB is checked for and whatever permissions you had before SHOULD be automagically given back. If not please contact Tom and let him know that you cannot seem to access whatever it is you were able to access before.

The new site is now operational and show allow you to register a username / password. When doing so if possible (and you had registered on the old site) please use the same username. Once you have registered if you had SVN Access and/or Purchased a Site Membership please open a Support Ticket on the site and in the ticket please include your svn paypal username (if possible this helps alot). This will allow me to varify the infomation with the old database and/or the svn server.
By doing so you will help speed up the proccess of getting access to the TGE-MMOKit. To compile the TGE-MMOKit you will be required to have a Clean TGE (HEAD) installed on your machine to patch ageanst it. (TGE does NOT ship with the TGE-MMOKit)
Thank You,
Tom

I'm wondering if my account (stevenmbiz) still in your DB? The login seems not working now.
If not then I'll re-register again.
