DikuMUD may be the foundation of the mmo revolution we seek

[Shendare]

I believe a more precise phrasing would be 'imagining the most basic, big-picture steps required in a path forward'. Your current absence of programming and database skills limit your ability to develop such a path. Education and talent in 3D graphics, 2D UI development, prose fiction authorship... these things would also be helpful for such development. Telling people to break ties with others they have long worked and played with and simplifying a years-long development process into such phrases as 'taking the DikuMUD code and slapping a GUI on it' do not fit well with the intention of developing a successor to a multi-million dollar corporate product now in its nineteenth year of continual development.

For entertainment I watched the video for around 30 seconds. When the guy could not remember what he called the variable for mana, well that just kind of killed it for me. If you are going to make a video for showing people C++, Jesus Christ at least do a dry run first.

Saw that, initialized as mana then set as mhp = rand()%50+60;

Edit: Continued watching and he said "and" and put ||, haha.

Edit 2: The blind teaching the blind in that video, to say the least.

I caught that too, I think it was right around the time he could not remember the variable name. I am not intentionally trying to be critical but if you are teaching, especially if you have a chance to perfect the video, get it right.
