Hi there free web hosting talk guys.

(If you are interested, please contact me at:
mati [*at*] matilurey [*dot*] c o m )I'm interested in starting up a small but highly-customizable free MMORPG.
I'd like to keep as much as possible of it playable cross-browser using JavaScript/AJAX, but I'm open to having a Java or Flash version available in the future. I'm just a college student, and I have an intermediate grasp at PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript/Ajax. I have a few people assisting me, but feel that a slightly-larger team could really help.

The basis of the game is to have an Isometric 3D (2d graphics that simulate 3dimensions) graphical rpg that runs entirely using Javascript and AJAX to talk to the server and receive updates.

The game would be based on loadable "zones", or groups of grid maps that connect to eachother. My idea or right now, dream, is to have the game world be entirely user customizable and buildable. It's not a revolutionary idea, but I've yet to see effective browser-based models.

Idea's include custom weapons, items, objects, structures, terrains, monsters, and more.

As far as the technical standpoint goes, I'd like to have a JavaScript Framework created as the "Client-Side Game Engine", and a PHP Framework created as the "Server-Side Game Engine", both with very little hardcoding in any aspect.

Anyway - I'm looking for:
- Programmers
- PHP (Advanced), with MySQL Experience
- Prior MMO or Game Experience a plus

and/or

- JavaScript (Advanced) with AJAX Experience

- Graphic Designers
- To be able to create Isometric Terrain, Characters, and Items in the PNG format. I'm not looking to make something super, but I want enough eyecandy to keep graphical-oriented users interested.

- Idea-Filled People you can also contact me, but make sure you have at least minimal knowledge of the design and implantation of a Online-Based Game.

Unfortunately, this is a 100% free open-source project, and I am not able to pay for your valued time. At the moment I pay for a small development web hosting plan that should be enough for a private alpha of the game, but nothing more. I'm willing to pay to upgrade to a $100-200 dedicated server in the future when the game is ready.
