Is Torque easy to use?
If I buy the Torque engine will I get Torque 2D and 3D?
When I buy Torque do I have to wait for it to get shipped home to me or can I download it instantly?

Is there a MMORPG kit for Torque 3D? Do you need to know C language to make a MMORPG with Torque?

If my computer crashes and I have to format it can I download it again?

Unless they've changed it, with a purchase of TGEA, you get the TGE engine for free as well.
I think I saw one talked about somewhere, but either way, if you plan on attempting to make a mmorpg.. you will need to use C++ as well as torque script.
Once you have purchased, you have access to your purchase history. You should have no problem dling it again.
Good Luck

well now that i own tgea i just want to say no it don't come with tge you have to buy tge first then buy tgea. now i would think if you wanted tge but you payed for tgea first you can always email support and i would think they would add tge to your account. me i don't need tge and i don't see a real reason to downgrade when tgea is basically the same just with more stuff.

There are a couple of mmorpg kits hiding around the resources here. Just do a search.

i did not want to go though documentation with the demo as some people run into problems and i don't want to run into them my self. i also want to learn allot more with the engine as i also buy another thing with the engine i can get it to work in the stronghold but i rather use it in the main project template then use the stronghold game folder.

ya i thought of that michael little after i posted that so it might be good to have tge as well. it would be a pain porting things over though. :P i have not gone into tge demo to much to see what it has that tge don't have. though i know the demo don't show everything it comes with as now that i have a official tgea there's more that come with it then whats in the demo. i been going though the stuff all day i starting the documentation now as i think its tome to move to the documentation instead of messing around with the new stuff.i did not want to go though documentation with the demo as some people run into problems and i don't want to run into them my self. i also want to learn allot more with the engine as i also buy another thing with the engine i can get it to work in the stronghold but i rather use it in the main project template then use the stronghold game folder.

If you have purchased TGEA, you can add TGE to your cart for $0. I have added it to a lot of accounts, but it is possible for people with TGEA licenses to do it themselves now with the new site.

there are many engines each have there own price. if you buy tge then you get tge if you buy tgea then you get tgea if you buy the 2d engine then you get the 2d engine. you only get one engine and thats the engine you payed for. now as there's more then 1 3d engine which is tge and tgea there is a upgrade path from tge to tgea so then you get to own both but they are basically the same engine besides tgea is better and thats why it cost more.
torque is not easy to use at first but once you know the engine then its easy to use and there's basically no limit to what you can do as you get source.
