And what if you're wrong? what if he doesn't fail?
We don't know how good he is in programming. What if he has experience?

"ASK ANYBODY, THEY WILL AGREE."

True. I agree. Start small. Always start small.
But that doesn't mean not to continue and get big.

Maybe he's right? I don't think this is the same thing as a newby posting something like:
"hey i'll create a big mmorpg like wow still need people if anyone wants to join me contact me still need programmer modeler and level designer thx."
He's actually thought about it. Maybe his idea is unique.
I agree with theexpert. stick to this until you see it's too big for you.
If you're devoted to it, why not try it?

Honestly, I believe he's closer to finishing this project already than anyone here who i've seen post a "want to make an mmorpg need help" post.

Hope you find someone to help, and always keep in mind that an online mmog is a huge task...
