I am looking for assistance in the development of a text based online multi-user rpg for my private website. I expect the project will need to be broken into managable pieces and bid out accordingly. The end result I am looking for will be a functional world shell with a platform from which I can design the worlds areas,rooms and objects myself by entering values for pre-established variables. I am myself a recreational coder so I do understand the magnitude of my request.I would appreciate any feedback in establishing a realistic sequence of small projects which would yield completion via phases.
