Pretty much any game-engine out there can help you build a game like that.
Its a matter of finding one that has everything you want in it. Things like:
- Sound
- Networking
- Specific engine support (Direct3D, OpenGL, SDL, etc.)
- Controller support for input if you want it.
- Physics support if you need it.
- etc.

Its more of less a manner of finding what you need for each aspect of the game. Given the game you gave as an example so far I would say you need:
- Networking support. (Its an MMO.)
- Basic texture / lighting. Pretty much any lib will have this.
- Scripting of some sort unless you plan to hard-code everything.

Some engines that will handle all of this for you would be:
- idTech
- Blender
- clanLib
- Cube/Cube2
- Ogre
- Source Engine
- LOVE (if you want to make the game fully in Lua)
- Irllicht

There are tons of libraries out there, just look for one that suits the needs of the project.

clanLib seems nice.
This might sound stupid, but can i import objects that I've created in Blender to clanLib.

I think that I'l use Shiva engine. Since clanLib's forum is dead, and I can't find the answer

atom0s's tips are good, but I'd add Unity3D to the list. You have to pay for it, but it's a good engine. More and more games are coming out on it.

Build core using the free version, then buy monthy license to finish up and release - no need to pay 1500 (the fee for 20 months).
