   My idea, and a question
  Hey guys,So, I have a crazy idea, and I just think it could work!Basically, the game/website would be called ChattyTown, or something along the lines of "Chatty". Just because that's what the website will be all about.So, the website would be like an online browser built game where users controls their characters, and travel from village-to-village.It would be very similar to Habbo Hotel, apart from it wouldn't be aimed at kids mainly, and it would be less-developed obviouslly.What programming languages would I have to learn, and does anyone think it could work?   
  Yes it's possible :Pi don't know any of those other games you mention but nothing about what you are saying is impossible.Have you ever played neopets?Anyhow, if you want real time graphics and gameplay, i would suggest using flash.If you dont care about real time, you could do it with php, html and &#106avascript.HTML5 is coming out soonish too, maybe you could start in on using that? :P   ;  flash with action script could do it but very hard to do networking with it i think, Java is best bet in my head, also look at the game GREPOLIS it's just a little flash a little php and a little HTML with probably some type of Java app run on a server (or many servers) that updates the HTML code, the flash and php have almost nothing to do with the game, and with HTML5 on the way you could control video and sound with just HTML witch means while although you couldn't do it completely with HTML you could probably figure out a way to do it with out too expensive a server.
