Additional Steps:

3. Build a dedicated Server with Unreal Build Tool https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Standalone_Dedicated_Server https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Dedicated_Server_Guide_(Windows_%26_Linux)

General Tipps for creating a mmo game in UE4

• learn how you build a dedicated server in ue4 so read this: https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Standalone_Dedicated_Server and this: https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Dedicated_Server_Guide_(Windows_%26_Linux)

• get familiar with php and take a deep look on UE4AM framework in php (this thing) you need the php script to handle communication between the clients and the account. so you feed your client / player state with all needed account player info you received by your php script

• to make life easier in UE4, download VARest from ufna which gives you the possibility to handle json in blueprint https://github.com/ufna/VaRest

• write a blueprint actor class where you handle all functions needed, like registeraccount, login, etc. these functions communicate with your php script you wrote before
