New to Game Development and could use some guidance.

Many people likely see this as old news but I thought it was interesting.

Also I found a site that lets anyone make MMO's. It seems like a complicated process, even when it is served on a silver platter.

There was that volleyball game too.

I reckon you could build an mmo-type game in Love that would run reasonably well. The problems with this though are that you'd need an efficient way of handling network data (which can be pretty complicated) and I think the server hardware would have to be pretty good to handle many, many players. Indeed if you planned to have upwards of thousands of players you'd most likely need multiple servers, which is a whole new territory.

There are lots of things to take into account, the amount of which varies depending on what you're trying to do. Something turn-based might be seemingly simple, but real-time actions would probably require predictive calculations based on the last received message for an object/player action to prevent visual lag and stuttering.
