    you may want to write it up like a screen play or novel first, then copyright the story. after that go find some indie game makers and show them your story and game outline. im friends with a few famous authors in real life and they always tell me about someone with an idea for a book and if my friend writes it, they will split the money with my friend. pretty much the same thing you have now.
    if you go in with a copy written book or screen play, then you have something to offer.
    I hope this helps you

    This is how the world works:

    - ideas are enough in the world
    - money is not. You are practically asking someone to risk money into an unverified idea
    - risking money is not done by a single person that says "Yeah, let's try it" but rather by a comittee/management
    - these are have to be convinced by a proof of concept. Even for crowd funding you need something to show
    - there's the financial, time and technical limitation. No one makes 10 years development like Duke Nukem (anymore)
    - you have to be versed in MMO market analysis, must have market insights and reliable customer data. "My product will make millions" does not sound legit
    - Tera is "boring" because they focus on their core strenght. This is why they bring out "gender lock", easy dungeons, easy gearing
    - if you really believe in making millions with it, I don't understand why you go make a start-up yourself (there are institutions/companies financing this) or go for a crowd-funding
    - polilsh yourself. No offense, but you didn't put in a single period into your text. If you want people to even invest 10k in your idea, you have to sell it nice and shiny

    Good luck, Bill Gates.

    another thing you could possibly do is get rpg maker from amazon or something similar, and make your game idea there. then copyright it and show it to different game makers like .......................... that way they have something to work from. I guess it all depends on what you are expecting to get out of it. try mine and the post above mines ideas if you are wanting to make money from it. if you are doing it out of the kindness of your heart, then email different game companies and give them your idea for free. also the rpg maker is very easy to use and doesn't require any programming knowledge, plus there are youtube videos on how to use it.

    This is actually a really clever idea. You'll need the lore and stuff anyway so it's like hitting two birds with one stone or however the saying goes :)

    thanks, I hope this will help you a great deal. also you could look into crowfunding sites to help you like go fund me or kick starter. ive seen people get funding for writing books and making games.

    As stated above, just by making the above post in the way you did, I don't think you're ready to formally pitch an idea. Example: I'm a musician and I had someone looking to collaborate message me with "hey i wuz wondering if u wuld want to do sum shows with me" and I did not respond to this person. The video game industry (as well as the music industry) is driven by business, professionalism, and a product that people want to buy.

    You need a coherent game design, lore, character/world mock-ups, examples of game mechanics, and a solidified business plan, among many, many other things.

    If you've been "doing this" for 20-30 years, scour your network of contacts and make your way to someone who knows game development and work out from there.
