Game Making (MMO)

[eliasfrost]

If you have never made a game before, an MMO is actually the worst possible place to start. Make something like pong or space invaders first so that you get the hang of simple game mechanics.

You say you have little experience in scripting (and by scripting I take it that you mean programming?) then I suggest that you read as much as you can, buy/rent books, read articles, browse the big programming communities for samples to examine and learn from.

Another tip: play games. But not for the sake of just playing them but take notes of stuff that are interesting: game mechanics, puzzles, sound design, art design, all that stuff. You will learn a great deal about game design by just observing and examining other games.

Good luck!
