Hi, jD2R. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Scratch is a bad fit for the MMO genre. Scratch has no possibility of server based operations, and has trouble even telling how many people are using your process at the same time. In addition, cloud variables only work as expected for users who have taken the time to be promoted to ‘Scratcher’ from ‘New Scratcher’, which means that the vast majority of users will be unable to use or join your game, or will experience random results when they try. Finally, remember that any user can view the source code of any Scratch project, which means that your program will be an open book for h4x0rZ, cheaters, and players looking for an unfair advantage.

Your ambition is commendable, but you will have a much easier time if you start with something simpler, like a basic multiplayer game. That should be plenty of challenge, and will help you learn about the same parts of the Scratch language.

Simple MMO may come to scratch as in extensions in project ideas (there is an link to it)

This may come out in scratch 4.0.

A downside is that it will replace cloud variables and new scratchers will mess with it.

It will come out in 3-5 years (alternitive) depending on the release date of scratch 4.0.
