I am currently Directing and want to know whether anyone is interested in building an MMORPG or if a team needs a Director, I can also do basic 3d art, but have no experience in programing.

I mean I am currently designing the storyline/format of an MMORPG, charecters, quests, weapons, how game plays etc. that I wish to create, but I will need a team to help me, unpaid, but if it is a success then I will divide proffits equally.

But showing up and making this offer to folks, probably isnt going to garner you much attention. Try building some bridges, and write up a plan. There is a function for it in you account, called Blog, it would be a good place to announce your idea.. there is also a forum place for game ideas. Both places are a good place to start.
If your curious check my posts, you will find a good running example of how to start a game design and how to build a game. Oh, and if your making a mmo, your looking at a year of work, congrats. You picked the hardest item to do. Maybe try a fps or a racing game. These are good places to start. Have you even made any effort to do any of the tutorials or do you just plan to write it and let your "co workers" make it for you.. for free?
Heres a link, enjoy. I am a lead Developer of a MMORPG known as Fantasci.

Hi Matt, Welcome to the club. I notice that your new to our forums, infact very new. I understand that you have a interest in leading a team of persons to create your game. Unfortunatly, your going to have to do better then that. Stick around a bit, post some pictures of your work (you mentioned you were a artist.) What engine do you own? What are you plans, and how far along is your design document or is this something you have written down on table napkins (which mind you nothing wrong with that, some of the greatest ideas have occured over lunch).But showing up and making this offer to folks, probably isnt going to garner you much attention.

Thanks for the tips, unfortunately I don't have any software, atleast that I know how to use ;), but I do know alot about creating a story line, as for pay, I would gladly divide all rights equally if it ever works, however thanks for the advise about tutorials for a fps, I think I'll try that. Also, I saw on your website, the concept art, while I've never done concept art before, art is something I'm really good at. If you'll have me I'd be glad to help for free.

The second Idea is the idea i discussed with you as lead. The dirty part.. Download the TGE demo. Fiddle with it for a bit. Learn the code, maybe even buy a license. But right now your a bit green to accomplish the ideas that you are discussing. If you want to chat directly msn me at the same email you got me at before.

Well i have 2 ideas for you, both which lead in different direction but both involve getting your hands dirty. One is the artist method. Show some of your Artwork, Id love to give you a shot, but id need some samples as would most folks. Besides you may find that your art style might interest other groups. The second Idea is the idea i discussed with you as lead. The dirty part.. Download the TGE demo. Fiddle with it for a bit. Learn the code, maybe even buy a license.
