Torque Mmorpg

by Nicholas Coetzee · in General Discussion · 06/21/2006 (1:13 am) · 12 replies

Hey, is it possible to make a MMORPG using Torque???

I know it has Quake-esque networking, but is there some way to rig it so if you fly your ship into a portal on one server, you transport to another server...

...With your items and everything intact...

...making it seem like a MMORPG?

@Gavin

Nice link. ;)

@Nicholas

If you type in Minions of Mirth in the search tool (found at the top right of any Garage Games page) and hit enter, you should be given a list of links to articles about the largest and most successful Torque-powered MMORPG.

You can try out a TGE based MMORPG by visiting our site and downloading the Free Edition for either Windows or OSX.

You can read about our existing and new MMORPG server architecture here: http://www.garagegames.com/blogs/4280/10708

@Nicholas: Your question is probably the #1 most-often asked question on the forums.

Yes, it can be done, but it's not for the faint of heart or light of wallet. You'll need to do a great deal of coding -- just tweaking the FPS demo isn't going to cut it.

If you're really intent on building an MMOG, try this thread and this one for a great collection of links on the subject.
