Or you can use Unity and skip, at least for now, the need for worrying about the netcode (which may very well end up being a steep mountain to climb).
Netcode in MMORPGs is the #1 important thing to be worried about, especially if you are concerned about cheating. Validation on the server and knowledge about what the client and server are actually doing is going to be key in stopping undesirables and making an optimized gameplay experience.

Unity doesn't offer a solid netcode solution, or historically hasn't at least. I don't know about now, but Unity's netcode solutions were limited to "Photon" or "Make your own" from what I last looked. UE4 requires a bit more hand-on with replication and client/server functions but is ten times more secure (also ten times the effort, which is not good for indies)
