This thread should be good...

I see what you need, but no detail but what you're games about! This may help get people interested.

What's the games theme?I see what you need, but no detail but what you're games about! This may help get people interested.

whats your previous experience. do you have access to source (which you will need to actually make a mmo) trust me, im in the process of making one myself. 15 months later, were about 6 months from releasing our beta single player version and we have a much larger team then 6 folks.
What are you doing about art assets, music, scriptor, programmers. Umm you have a architech position? Man, you guys must be rich to hire one of those. The game development term is a Level Designer. My advice is pick up some game development books and learn the business. And possible do some testing of your game type.
Your missing the point. Making a game period, is not a easy task. If it was you would see alot more of them. Now if im missing something, from your post. Lets see some screenshots, concept art. Some descriptions. Anything. To show us "Epic" the next MMO (also know as the WoW Killer)

The title says is all " Epic". So, this mmo, whos going to pay for the dedicated servers to run these, and Since tools are free. How do you plan to cover the whole license per seat issue. We have seen alot of these ideas. And dont get me wrong. Positive thinking. but posting, Im going to make a mmo on the first day, first post of your game development carreer. What experience do you have. 13 - 18 years old.. really? I love ambitious kids. whats your previous experience. do you have access to source (which you will need to actually make a mmo) trust me, im in the process of making one myself. 15 months later, were about 6 months from releasing our beta single player version and we have a much larger team then 6 folks.

You missed the description (it was in the thread title): EPIC
All caps, so its really epic. Or maybe its a acronym. In all seriousness Patrick, as Pierre said, explaining the actual game instead of just listing requirements for people to join is crucial if you want people to join your team. You must make them excited for your game; if that's even possible for MMO's anymore. An epic roguelike MMO would be really cool. But make sure its epic. Give the player the ability to change the world. With RL's also you don't need to worry about graphics; so that's one problem solved.
[EDIT]
Aw! Lost 5 xp points! Edward beat me to it!

Are some of your tools HeroEngine or BigWorld? I'd join just to get those tools for free :)

Now that I have that out of my system, I would strongly suggest that when you are searching for team members, that you post details about what you are looking for, the type of game you are creating, and as much information as necessary to help them make an informed decision as to whether or not they wish to join your team. You need to pitch it to people, especially if that are going to be doing massive amounts of work for free, as is implied by your hours of operation. I find the age-range interestingly limiting as well since I've known extremely young gifted developers and known many who have retired as well.
Good luck with your project.

Nothing wrong with RC if you have strong Blitz3D programmers on your side.
#10
07/08/2008 (9:41 am)
Too bad I dont have any Blitz3d Programmers Ill try to find some. What fourm should I go to
#11
07/08/2008 (9:46 am)
Most likely candidates are the Blitz forums and the RC forums. It's been a while. I can't remember if it is a combination of BlitzBasic and Blitz3D or not. Check your source directories before posting for programmers.

07/08/2008 (9:58 am)
Will do I dont just need Programmers I need mappers.
#13
It is now 15+
07/08/2008 (10:10 am)
Ok Johnnie The lead Developer Wanted me to change the 13-18 age Limit Since It wasnt ReasonableIt is now 15+
#14
07/08/2008 (12:34 pm)
That's very Good to Hear. But What about all those Thirteen and Fourteen year-Olds? I'm sure they Have xp too.
#15
*points to the 15+ sign.
They couldnt reasonable allow you on their team. besides they arent looking for Level Designers or Programmers. So all you Architechs and Mappers step this way.
And if your curious about starting a mmo. Heres how They start. A complete record of my MMO, which is now a 3 part series, singleplayer to become a Multiplayer.
www.mydreamrpg.com/community/showthread.php?t=1594
But id be interested to see what Johnnie has to say about this project. I should sneak over to the RC forums and check out EPIC and see how far they have gotten. probably have a dozen wicked levels, and some totally hanging avatars. And some twisted effects. Rock on man. Man i feel like in the 80's

Im sorry Kevin, your not allowed on the team anymore*points to the 15+ sign.

We have about 5 maps done. And Aah Yah. The age shouldnt be a Problem. Were trying to Find Teen Programmers that are looking for there start in the industry but atleast have some Experience

07/08/2008 (1:04 pm)
Sorry for teh double post. We have filled our Architect spot so Yah.
#19
07/08/2008 (1:12 pm)
Its my conclusion the Epic MMOs can only be made with RC and youth between the age of 13-18+(dispite teh fact that none of them can legally sell such a product) But this is why they come here. Strange how so many RC folks come here.

And I said to Patrick "Ditch the age limit and architect..." he agreed and kept architect and changed the age limit a little. And only he would say something like "teh" God Patrick, you make me look so foolish.
I know MUCH about the gaming industry. Im posting up some help wanted ads as well right now.
07/08/2008 (3:36 pm)
Ok. Ignore Patrick, I never told him to say ANY of this. Sorry. I am Johnnie, lead for Kingdom Come Games. We don't have a forum to check out our progress as of yet, BUT I am making a website. So that should be up soon with all the info. There is no Architect position. I will explain everything on a new thread soon. But to clarify some things up, EPIC online will be a fantasy MMORPG, based in the continent of Mekanon and the smaller island of Sancranor. For more information check out the game post I made... once its up actually. Quote: This mmo isn't using torque? whys not?Because we didn't buy Torque :)
