Are you going to use an existing engine? If you do, Unity 3D can be scripted in Javascript like Overgrowth. There will be differences, but overlap is still overlap. I've been looking at Unity scripting and can help a bit if you need it.

Related to the previous question, who is going to do the scripting?

And finally, do you have any detailed plans yet, or list of things you'll need to learn? Are you open to suggestions, in other words.

I would LOVE any help with this seeing as I've only made very small games in blender (I am very much a n00b ) so yeah would love your help and suggestions I am very open to A google wave account would be much appreciated, but I can work with about any way of chatting online.

//define important variables first
// create a new variable called 'object', make it to be of the type GameObject, change values
var object: GameObject;

// Start() is used for things that happen once in the beginning
function Start () {
   // if variable object has not been defined, create a box and assign it to object
   if( object == null ) {
        // print() prints text to console, open with shift+ctrl+C, console also shows errors in script
        print("null, creating cube");
        // the line below made a new Cube, but variable object was still unassigned
        // object.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cube);
        object = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cube);
   }
   // change color, initial position
   object.renderer.material.color = Color.white;
   object.transform.position = Vector3(0,3,0);
} // {} define areas of influence. This } ends function Start. 

// Update() is used for things that change in time: movement, checking if a key is pressed down, movement that happens only if a key is pressed down...
// if you use a rigidbody, use it inside FixedUpdate() {} instead
function Update() {
    // Move the object to the right relative to the camera 1 unit/second.
    object.transform.Translate(Vector3.right * Time.deltaTime);
}

Well, Me and m3nace were thinking of attempting *ATTEMPTING* an mmo, but I'd like to start smaller than that.

Not exactly what i was thinking, i was more thinking thirdperson shooter meets radical combat
