What languages do you think I should know to create a game. My meaning of a game..and MMORPG such as one you can download off the internet.
I believe you should be looking into Java, possibly Shockwave/Flash and C++/C#/C for you're serverside processing.
Why do people always assume they can pick up a programming language and make a MMORPG right away? Is your next post going to be "What program can I use to make game graphics?"
Depends completly on the platform that you wish the game to be run. If you want the game to be completly webbased then you should go for a technology such as flash. If you want the user to download a client; if the client (game) is going to be graphic intentive then go for C++ , otherwise you can use C# or Java. ...... though, no offence, but to be honest, if you need to ask that question, you have a long way before you will be in a position to write a game. ( dont kill the messenger ) ..good luck though
If your plan is to create a game with realtime user interactivity like a flash browser game, then hire and c++/java programmers. In case you plan to create a game that ist web-page and turn base oriented, then hire html,javascript and php programmers.
Apparently, the Torque Engine has a free MMO kit now. The Torque 2D engine costs $250 and the 3D engine costs $1000. Many developers do not like Torque for one reason or another, but it has been used to make a lot of simple indie games.
ActionScript is good for starters and to make games that are easy to expose on the Web. Java is great for mobile games nowadays, and it might also be a decent language to cut your teeth in.
I hope you are not intending to make a super-3d-game right away. I'd say Delphi is good for beginners, and I've seen some nice "how to make a game" tutorials, for complete newbs (Russian only, though). Flash is nice, too, but its slowly dying away, HTML5 Canvas incoming.
Eve if Flash is dying (I'm inclined to believe that it will be around, especially for games for quite some time), Flash is still a great tool to LEARN about game development.
If you want to make MMORPG like Lineage or WoW, i think it will take very long time. Usually the programming language is not to different, but if you want to studying it, you can learn java or C#.
All guys here made some valid arguments, but let me tell u this... First MMORPG is not so much about programming, as it is about content and constant fight against malicious users. You also have to monitor and tune your game engine constantly in order to iron the possible irregularities that puts some players in disadvantage...but this was not a question, right? As with any game go with C++ if you want to have complete control, or as Cash Nebula suggested Torque which will suite you just fine.
Volux, would you please reinvolve in this thread to fine tune the direction a bit? Do you want to know what to focus at the moment to apply for a job after graduation or do you want to create a game your self and now?
