I agree with you completely.
Not many people fully understand what is meant by "Rome was not built in a day".
Before you run, you must learn to crawl.
I started off with basic C programs, OpenGL, DirectX, then third party game engines ( Irrlicht ), modelling tools like Milkshape 3d and animation tools like character FX.

When you say "I can't get this to work" and expecting us to find the solution, that just doesn't help.

Of course, you could try to build a game that doesn't use any high - res graphics. Ever heard of ZZT? That's what I'd do if I wanted to build a game for a hobby. Why? Because I'm too lazy to even try to learn all that 3D programming bumf :p .

You need to learn to crawl first, my man. I don't think you ought to be concerned yet with writing a game as much as you should be learning how to read and write code. Don't worry about downloading anything yet. Hit Amazon.com and start buying C++ and OpenGL books. If you're going to be using Visual Studio as your dev environment, check out a book on that as well. Speaking of "checking out", you could even go to your local library and take a look at their computer book section.
If you can't get some basic stuff to compile, you're never going to get anywhere with a pre-fab download framework. You've gotta learn what's going on under the hood first.
Best of luck to ya!

hi, i agree completly, learn 3D graphics and c++ before you can even attempt to create a simple game but in the long run developing a unit such as WOW would take a single designer around 2 years. I specialize in HTML and web design i mostly use PHP and Javascript, so if you even need a hand just ask 
anyway yh if you want a full video tutorial download it from a bitTorrent leacher like BTjunkie, Lynda.com

More like 200.
Wow took a few years to make, with many excellent coders
