James:
Give up that fucking MMO this, fucking MMO that, next fucking MMO project thoughts in your head. It's messing with your ability to think straight.
You have no idea what actual game production entails....
There is no pre-production for Greed Monger -
There is no concept art, or lack of it. I haven't seen any new housing concepts, no terrain concepts, no character concepts.
There is no level design concepts, or lack of it. Either that, or just some fool buying assets on the asset store and drag, drop, drag-drop into Unity and then saying here's a fucking MMO and 3 more months it's ready!
There is no UI artist or lack of it. The original artist who made your original greed monger UI slipped away. I wouldn't even put that shit on my portfolio if I were him.
There are no modellers to make custom UMA add-ons. The models were all store-brought assets and mostly garbage assets you can't or won't use.
There is no MMO UI framework. I'm talking big iron UI kits, like Scaleform MMO kit and Klik framework -

There is no MMO controller server, which represents terrain (without using Unity on server) and all players inside the terrain and models within it, simulate physics, colliders, read/write data to database and echo it to all players.
For this reason, you are doing all fuck-work because all publicly known MMO servers (you can buy with sources) used by big companies uses Mesh terrains for the ground, while you show all your demos using Unity terrain.
Your own MMO Framework has no mailbox command queue (other than Lidgren's own default queue) for MMO commands, SQL cache for MMO world objects, client cache for MMO items, no spell cache, inventory cache.
There is no patch server, update server so when game starts, it starts to check latest updates and stream down new items before game starts...
There is no database of spells, not even very basic membership list linked to VBulletin or some other ASP.NET or PHP page for customers to login to, to check their character list outside game, times when they last logged in and change password. If you are smart, you can use VBulletin membership system to login and enable 2FA on VBulletin.
For all of what I state above, James, you are very far away from your original goal. If you continue your own delusion of making a MMO, perhaps you can come back and refer to the list that I have made for you.
You should give it up... Go make a flappy bird clone, mini-tetris clone, pong clone and work your way upwards.
Your programming sucks, your level design sucks, your UI work sucks, you are so anti-social that you do not work with other developers and artists and by keep on doing MMOs, you lose opportunities to work with others.
(Saw worthy material -- ) You certainly don't know me, but I certainly know you. I want to play a game... for far too long, you have been living in an imaginary MMO world day in and day out. To survive this trap, you must think outside the MMO, a MMO which is slowly becoming smaller and smaller...
Will you be able to walk away untested?
