is it possible to make a text based mmorpg with byond?
Yes
In response to Polaruis
What you are probally refering to is a MUD(This will serve your purpose.)

Try searchin around BYOND for the keywords: mud, text.

That should get you started, and I believe there are some tutorials that can help you get started.

This is off-topic, but what does MUD stand for?
In response to Popisfizzy
I think it stands for..
Multiplayer _______ Dungeon.

I could be wrong though.

It stands for Multi User Dungeon. The 'D' can be interchanged with other words such as Domain.

Multi-User Dungeon.

I don't see why they need so many different expressions, but oh well....
I mean:
MUCK =Mutli-User Character Kingdom
MUD=Multi-User Dungeon
RPG=Role Play Game
ORPG=Online Role Play Game
MMORPG=Multi-Member Online Role Play Game
and then there are a few others I can't remember.....

In response to Flame Sage

WRONG!

All ORPGs = Multi-Membered. It means Massively Multiplayer... Sorry for correcting you I just didn't feel as if that was interchangeable.
In response to ManDroid13
No, there are a few ORPGs that only one person can play.
Like Adventure Quest:

Both interpretations are used, but I prefer Multi-Member.
If you choose to use Massively Multiplayer, go ahead.
In response to DarkCampainger
yeah,i've run into a couple problems though
In response to Jamesburrow
RTSRPG: Real Time Strategy Role Playing Game (only a few of these)
MMORTS: Massively Mutliplayer Only Real Time Strategy
FPS: First Person Shaver(I'm not lying. There is really one game called this)
In response to Popisfizzy
I have gotten problems before too. I just downloaded it until it worked..lol.
In response to WindShock
what are you talking about?
In response to WindShock
???
Are you sure you replied to the right topic?
In response to Jamesburrow
that answer makes no sense to anything in this string.
In response to Popisfizzy
Well, it looks like Wind might have meant to reply to Dan13, but somehow got messed up.
In response to Jamesburrow
For MMORPGs, it stands for massively multiplayer in games such as EverQuest and World Of Warcraft. Multi-Member could be used for smaller games. Massively Multiplayer implies thousands upon thousands of people in the game.
In response to Jamesburrow
I thought MMORPG stood for Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.
