While browsing the web I have come across an opensource MMORPG titled PlaneShift. The graphics and animations need alot of work but It will give me a chance to learn about how mmorpgs are created, while also offering programming practice. You can read about the game at http://www.planeshift.it

My goal is to learn the mmorpg development skills needed to create a TCOS similar mmorpg. please let me know what you think.
