I agree here, there are countless numbers of people asking professionals about 'writing an MMORPG from scratch with a bunch of friends'

A project like that is massive beyond comprehension. I suggest starting with something smaller and extending the gameplay from there.

Also, are you programming in flash as with Realm of the Mad God? I have much experience with java, and most C based languages, as well as PHP and ActionScript 2 when it was popular, but have since moved on (from actionscript). I would love to help with bug fixes/patches and some minor help for free if your interested.
