The most simple kind of terrain is just a set of polygons which of course can be done with DeleD. Just create a large grid (with 10x10 at least) and move the vertices up and down with the magnet tool.

Usually the terrain of a MMORPG is not saved as polygons but as some kind of heightmap which stores the height of the corresponding vertices. With that information, you can add some level of detail (LOD) algorithms. If you saved the terrain as polygons and displayed it like that, it would be way too many polygons with a detailed terrain.
You can, of course, build that terrain in DeleD and render it like your other maps if it's just a small part of the map.

Terrain in DeleD can be done.
The mountain in the background is simply a 26 sided cylendar with 6 segments.

DeleD shot

It can be done. Aside from the mountain, the waterfall was also made in deled, as was the house. The base terrain was made in engine using a heightmap made in Paint shop pro.

Just make a big grid, like 10x10 and use the magnet tool, then use the smooth tool. This is what can be achieved. I made this in 2 minutes with the default DeleD grass texture, and a water plane.

Yeah I will, and can you give me an average amount of polygons in a terrain?

Also, the average amount of polys depends on the scale and detail of your terrain, so you should limit the proper amount of polys to your needs.

and It depends on what kind of customers for your game your looking at, the higher the polycount the faster the computers need to be.

Let's say: just keep it as low as possible without losing the quality you want.
