1 or 2 dedicated developers of whom share your vision and wish to embark on it to make it even better, but you must have your role be pivotal (otherwise you are wasteful to have around )
host can be done from your home machine (non-hamachi is preferred over hamachi) all that needs to be done is have a decent computer and a modest connection ( 80kb/s actual and up is fine on a seperate computer you aren't using) .. if you are on the same pc that is hosting(browsing net looking at ******.. probably 200-300kb/s +)

pick a software, ascent or mangos. each are tailored differently and both have trunks of different ways they are done. ascent based for customization and mangos for blizzlike was what i remembered 2 years ago, i do believe they have changed slightly but not by much.


quick checklist before all of that:
1) maturity, not a self actualized maturity but true maturity and maturity found in your "co-workers", can't be squabbling over who deleted the tower of the northwest wing, it's deleted get over it and replace it.
2) full idea of what you are going to be doing, do you have it written down with fancy pictures(mspaint even) start to finish(one of the BIGGEST time consumption here on most games btw).
3) idea of how you are going to implement it
4) and is it fun to do said tasks as if you were the player, does it all make sense with out it being obnoxious.
5) why. why are you doing it? for fun: work solo. to work out an idea: make it known to your workers. make easy cash: not unless you dislike the DMCA and lawsuits.
