A few points (before anybody else pounces on this thread with the knives out...); if you can't/won't take the time to rewrite your posts into a form others readily undertstand, you'll probably have a difficult time properly expressing to anybody who joins this project the specifics of the project (which you fail to give even the roughest of sketches of in your post; this will not help you recruit anybody to this project...)
And that reflects pretty poorly on yourself when your stated objective is to develop a text-based game.
I suggest you first read this (http://www.idevgames.com/forum/announcement.php?f=4) and this (http://www.idevgames.com/forum/announcement.php?f=3).
With those constructive criticisms (id est, I'm not trying to flame anybody here...) aside, if you're interested in learning how to develop a online text RPG yourself, perhaps using PHP in conjunction with MySQL, I'd search the forums - several threads have covered this topic recently.
Ah, here's one such thread. (http://www.idevgames.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8083&highlight=online+text)
(Although I'll admit I liked the Error-404 Psychiatric Support Page.)
Is it just me or does the name of this game remind of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos?

Judging by the paucity of posts since the first, I'd assume that this project is yet another inductee into the halls of Ambitious Projects That Never Quite Changed The Face Of Gaming™ (http://www.planetdaikatana.com/).
I doubt Blizzard will be unleashing the lawyers any time soon...

I think I have a friend who spends more time playing that than HL2. At least at work...

a taxted base rpg
that's so ironic i almost thought it was intentional
seriously though, if it is actually your dream to make this, then you shouldn't be surprised or discouraged to find that it will take a lot of time and energy on your part to make it happen. don't expect someone else on a message board to just do it for you.
and listen to sealfin. ^
