Question - what exactly do you mean by saying that the original guy got all the work done on combat, inventory, and abilities?
Edit - like, does that mean he built the systems? Like "there will be 7 schools of magic, and 10 levels of spells, and a wizard class can only choose to know spells from 3 of the schools and must have a character level of X to cast spells of Y level"? Or all that and all the individual spells, with their ranges and damage and mana cost and cast time and all that?
How difficult would it be to do the spell and combat systems yourself? That's the part of MMO design that I could keep myself the most entertained with
