If it's your first time giving ORPG/MMORPG coding a shot, I would suggest finding a nice online base, (just with all the networking code done/been done) and then add a graphics engine into that.
Your best bet for the graphics engine, if you want to be unique (and because 2D graphics engines are no where near as customisable as 3D), is to create one from scratch, and if you have a few programmers, or even one, working full-time, and if you have the graphics and map/map plans been done with it simultaneously, then 6 months should be an easy target.
Just my £1.50.
(My train fare costs that much each day. £7.50 - £10 a week! (I could buy 2 copies of GMod10 each week for that much!)
