Youre probably going to need a lot more than two people for a fully functioning isometric MMORPG. Your coder needs to know the base language for the game engine (C, C++, Basic, Java), the language for and experience maintaining a database(Microsoft SQL, MySQL) and possibly a scripting language (Lua, Python, &#106avascript) in order to run a fully functioning online game. Its probably best that you have two engine programmers, a database coder, and a scripter or two. As for you, the sole artist on this endeavor, you are going to have to design sprites for the 40 or so monsters your game is expected to have, design about 7 different styles of terrain (Desert, Mountains, Plains, Etc), draw the sprites for user-playable characters (and their variations depending on weapons and armor), design items, buildings, and lastly, the user display. You're probably going to want a lot more artists, too.<br/><br/>Cheers Mate.
