Yep, I agree with Ooble. And as he said, it is very hard to make and woudl take time, expertise, people, effort and money.

But you must think about security seriously, because one simple exploit could ruin the whole game and force the servers to shut down.

You'll also need to think about how you will store all of that informatation, there will be (if successful) hundreds, if not thousands of registered users, meaning that ech users stats will need to be stored safely alogn with passwords and account details.

And you must decide: browser based or desktop application

And if its a desktop application, you must decide if you want to make it cross platform (for windows, linux and mac) or not, also the language and graphics library.

For the browser based game, browser compatibility iis a priority. Many people use Firefox (including myself) and it is gaining in popularity.
