Well, for a long time i've always wanted to make an MMO (or atleast an online game). I looked into it and found that, HOLY DAMN IT"S EXPENSIVE!

Really finding a reliable host, paying the host to host the actually game, getting a computer to hold the files to act as a server, getting copyrighted, (this bit is optional) getting an official site (gotta pay yearly for legal rights to own the website, like http://NevermorOnline.com).

Paying the host: 100$+(depends on host)
Computer: 800+ (you want a computer with 120gb+ hard drive space and like 1gb+ RAM)
Website: about 10$ a year i'm sure

910$... Computer is optional also, less lag etc. But we NEED a host, still 100$+...

What most people do, (learned this from a MapleStory private server i played on) they would get donaters. They would use gimicks like, Donate X amount off money and get this epic yadda yadda, and this special yadda yadda. Or they would make you pay to play (no were did this and it's not recommended >.>). And there's also the pay once play forever. like 10$ play forever pay 5 bucks get this special item.

So, yeah... O.o...

And you see... the fact is, in a week, I will have exactly 120 in two hardrives free on this computer except for VX. I'm moving all of my other things to my NEW computer with a 200GB hard drive.

My brother already said he'd make me a website and pay for it.

We'd just need a server. $100 easy. xDD

My goodness... well, we'd better track down a VX version of Netplay at some point, then.

If you want this story, then we can't really do net play with it unless 20 people are randomly picked to be part of that story. (That would be kinda weird...)

As far as I can see, it's a choice-- plot, or online play?

We'll need to pick one.

One is cheaper...

I saw, we start working on maps, graphics etc. and then decide before we put actual money into this. We should wait for this to get to a certain point where we have everything done, we just need to get the online script or the NPCs made.

They don't have one listed, but the old netplay scripters from earlier are back on their site. Netplay scripts for VX are already there. =3
