Hi am a bigginer, im 15 and i have started learning vb. I want in some years after i finish school to make with a team an mmorpg. What must i know?

You'd probably want to start with socket programming.

[Bogoh67]

then you must learn how to make the graphics
after that you probably want to go out and buy a really good computer(to render)

i dont think i must learn abou grafiks. I will make a team and i will belong to the programmers

it is a long way and a difficult way to make a good MMORPG

I dont know if MMORPG has to be 3D, in that case its not too hard. I really love socket programming

VB is not really the ultimate language for writing games (I'm not saying its impossible)
unless you really want it done in vb here would be my checklist for C++
-Networking(socket programming is said before)
-DirectX/OpenGL to write your engine OR an engine thats already written like Ogre3D
-Blender/3dsmax(I would choose blender since its free and compatible with Ogre3D)

Other tips to program

-Don't start programming the MMORPG before you have some skills in programming
-Don't EVER copypaste(unless you want to try something out or so)
-Practice,Practice,practice. Reading some article isn't enough, also try the code you learned it will help

you should learn about graphics, its like the most important part about a game

what is the socket programming? I cant do and graficks and programming :/

[Axel]

game writing isn't like "A bunch of coding and its done" its skills, creativity,...
ofcourse if you have a team you shouldn't do the graphics only but like 90% of what you must code is graphics.
socket programming is receiving how to receive the movements and actions of the other players trough the internet. Its not that hard but again experiences don't expect to make it perfect from the 1st time.

wouldnt Cinema4D also be good for the graphics and such?
