Also if its ok for me to keep using JavaScript

You’re not using JavaScript. UnityScript is a similar language but it doesn’t follow the JavaScript standards. You’re better off learning C# as they use an implementation that tries to at least follow the C# standards.

I don’t get it. Why everyone wants to make an mmo? Where do you guys take the inspiration from? How many really good mmos are there? 2? 5?
There are hundreds of really cool games in other genres. Why mmo?

I know what you mean haha but im not interested in making a mmo…but you are right their are many people who are trying to make a mmo even thought the success rate of them are like .1 % haha.

Notice the parenthesis with UnityScript in between them. Unity themselves have a tendency to call it JavaScript, but it isn’t really JavaScript. Compatible in some ways and incompatible in others. Better to treat it as a separate thing.

Am I really the only one who noticed he was interested in the underlying process and not actually in making one?

Which nobody seem to know why the hell they still do so. It’s pretty much false advertisement.

13

But theirs not no actual big difference right? I know JS pretty well, im still learning it…But i shoudint have a problem learning unityscript right?

Check the link I gave. There are quite a number of differences.

Don’t ever try to make an MMO, not even if you’re a big company with billions of cash, you will fail.

Make an online game, that can use instanced servers with some kind of authoritative server that links them together like Dungeons and Dragons Online.

Well, the thread is called “Making a mmo”, and he’s asking about developing process of a mmo, using the only language he knows. You don’t need much to put 2 and 2 together and come to the conclusion that sooner or later he wants to make an mmo.
I just don’t understand why a mmo? Besides WOW, EVE and Lineage I can’t name any other mmo without googling (I’ve only played EVE). Are there any other mmos I’ve missed that inspire everyone so much?

Indeed, Unity call it JavaScript to make it apears more broad and stardard. UnityScript It’s not JS. It uses similar syntax but it’s not JavaScript.

Bad move, mister. You would fail no matter how hard you try to prove me wrong

is it a joke?

I can think of quite a few. Mostly because I played them over the years. Was part of a group that went around playing MMOs and moved every time we grew bored with the latest one. Eventually we grew bored of that though and just started doing our own thing with occasional co-op play. Still hang around with each other though.

Oh, you wanted to know if they were any good? Not really. :stuck_out_tongue:
