You are a professional programmer, you are confident in writing software that consists of hundreds of thousands of lines of code, you know people that can create hundreds of high quality monster models, your brother is a lawyer, your sister knows a lot about software security and the business side of things will be learned along the way.
Even if this is the case, before you start to jump into it you should imagine the worst case scenario and ask yourself one question: what if you fail? What if you spend a decade of your life at something that will never see the light of day? Ask yourself where you could be if you would spend the next ten years working your way up through a major software company, or where you could be if you would spend that time with family, hobbies, traveling, in university or maybe in a martial arts gym.
If you are in your twenties right now, this means that you have to make a decision that you can not revert. Right now you are in the physically best shape of your life, right now you can still pretty much do whatever you want. If you decide to start working on your MMORPG the next ten years, this means spending your ten years sitting alone in the basement staring at a computer screen, while all your friends are outside partying, having kids, getting married, going on vacations and living the real life.
Making a massive multiplayer game will probably be the biggest thing that you work on in your entire life. It will take a decade or more to develop it and if it was a success, it will take another decade to maintain it.
If you are somewhere in your twenties right now, you will be in your forties, maybe even 50 years old when the last server of your game shuts down.
In case you didn't know: this means that you are not twenty anymore. There will be family, health issues, a midlife crisis and burnouts along the way.
Making a MMORPG will be your life project, if you don't absolutely love it with all your heart, then it's not worth it. If you are not willing to walk through hell and back during the next decade, you will waste your time and fail. Yes, it is possible. If you can dream it, then you can make it. If making an MMORPG is what you are on this earth for, then a simple article like this one won't scare you away from it.
You can make your dream become a reality if you really want it bad enough. But never forget, you will have to pay for it either in millions of dollars or in decades of time - so think twice.
