WOW! $100 Million
Recently, a client authorized webmasterlabor.com to research (and publicize info on forums re) massively multiplayer online games. Specifically, we are looking at handling the project management of a possible World of Warcraft-type MMOG. A company we recently contacted said that it costs $50M to $100M to develop. Anyone know if this is true? Are there any existing solutions that can be licensed or customized?
Here's the email:
Hello,
Our company specializes in online multiplayer games. If you are total serious about this project and expect to $1 to $2 Million dollar and have a timeline of 2-3 year to complete this project please contact (EDITED). This is a HUGE project as you know and something like WoW or EQ2 took over 3 years to build and cost about $50-100 Million each. So to build one on a smaller scale $1 - $2 Million is a very reasonable budget. So if you have any questions please contact (EDITED).
