Here's what I am saying about what is possible right now:
A newbie can sit down infront of a FREE version of chat GPT and say:
"Ok here we go, I want to make everquest like the 1999 version, i need you to set me up with a walkthrough and teach me how to build this every step of the way, starting from scratch, with nothing but windows 11.
IM ready to go, i have no idea, what is the first step, lets get going!"
It will first tell you to subscribe to the pro version so you can, and from there on it will walk you through everyone of the next steps.
And if you did that... and you were a SMART and CAPABLE person.
And you were dedicated to building your own everquest in your free time from scratch.
That you would be able to accomplish that, right now.
Will you be essentially, "learning how to do it yourself?"
Yes.

I agree. I think where my disagreement came from is some of the timelines you have previously posted.
In this specific scenario, it would probably take 5-10 years for a newbie solo developer to make an Everquest-style MMO from scratch in their free time using AI and paying people for some part time work. This assumes the newbie is a very good learner, is dedicated to the cause, doesn't take long breaks, etc. This also assumes the scope and quality of the game is similar to Original Everquest without expansions.
