An mmorpg in asp will be pretty corny. You should use a client-side language.

there are about 100 000 mmorpgs in asp type languages,


PHP and Perl are the common languages used, and they are pretty fun

Wow. I've never even heard of anyone playing one. I can't imagine them being too much beyond something Zork-ish.

Even a MUD would be more fast-paced and exciting.

You can put client side scripts in ASP.

By client-side I think he meant something like C/C++. But yeah, I agree, it should be written with client side code, not ASP.
