Back in December I started a development blog detailing my work done to create a fairly simple MMO. It begins with setting up NetBeans, XAMPP with Symfony, and SmartFoxServer and walks through step by step creating the beginnings of an MMO.
NOTE: There is no foliage in the scene. This is just temporary will i do the surround area design, also there are a lot of large empty areas, the camera flies past theses areas quickly so please don't take much notice of them.
