Did you drop out of college?
Good luck. 
No, quit the swim team and scholarship. I also essentially gave up my social life. College is still necessary for me to make connections, so that's staying where it is.
Holy crap, that's (relatively) close to me, I didn't know that place existed! That's awesome!
Looking good. 
Phoenix has a really vibrant gamedev community! Come to the IGDA meetings!
Be very careful with that. The same problems with Haven and Hearth will affect this project without some clever engineering.
Yeah, I actually took on a guy for IT. He manages all of the technical details and makes sure it works out.
As soon as you turn something like this in to a full time job you can't really overlook things you could as a hobby project. Your netcode especially will have to be on point.
Good luck.
I'm putting 60+ hours a week into this thing, so it basically is a full time job at this point. I'm constantly revising old systems and flushing out all the old code I started with, so it will hopefully work out.
Thanks.
EDIT:
I would like to mention that I quit everything because I LOVE what I'm doing with this game. It makes me excited about waking up every morning. Often times I don't eat for hours on end or don't sleep for days because I'm thinking about it. Even if the project flopped, I'd be happy. That's the important part.
