I could help with the organizing and the break down of the tasks, and maybe a bit of 3D modelling with the tools I have, but im not a hardcore coder. My area of programing knowledge is in Java and writing mostly.

Hmm, it would have to be a team effort with clearly designed goals and benchmarks.

I do know from the game development I have done that the hardest part is the networking, and the game renderer itself. That's why its easier to mod for sure.

Hmm, off the top of my head comes three ideas for a renderer/game running system:
Irrlicht Engine
Ogre 3D
Crystalspace 3D
They would have to be discussed and evaluated for MMO style development you would need. The plus side is they are all open source and free, although each would probably have its advantages and disadvantages for the project.

I do know the project would probably use a MySql database for sure, that's the easy part. Just some ideas for thought. The big part is would a community get behind it? Or do they just want to play an emulator?
