What are you planning? And what technologies are being employed?
Ensemble Online is a Massively Multiplayer Online Realtime Strategy Roleplaying Game. That’s fancy-talk for an online game that can hold thousands (potentially tens of thousands) of players simultaneously and is very broad in terms of genre. The game also persists, meaning if you log off the game keeps going and you’re still where you were when you left. The front end for Ensemble is done in AS3 using Flex 3 and Flash CS5. The backend is done in PHP and MySQL utilizing a sophisticated communication infrastructure known as BITS (Binary Instruction Transport Service).
