   I was looking into starting a text based mmorpg
  Hi i was wondering if anyone had any advice...i.e. where to get a server, what language to use, and how to get the game to run without me constantly having to change the levels and so on in a databaseplease e-mail me at Rynem99@gmail.comP.s. The game will hopefully end up like syrnia or movoda (http://www.syrnia.com http://www.movoda.net)   
  What programming/scripting languages do you know so far?   ;  basically i have done sql...although i should be able to learn almost any language in a few days, i just wanna know witch one would be the best for me to spend my time learning :)   ;Quote:although i should be able to learn almost any language in a few daysVery very unlikely :    http://norvig.com/21-days.htmljust a wild guess, but maybe , java && ( C# || C++ || python ||...);  I do tend to spend around 6 hours at a computer per night though...so i thought i could...   ;  I wish I could learn a programming language in roughly 18-24 hours... ;  idk, just thought i could get the jist of it in about 30-42 hours   ;  You could get the jist of it, but you won't be able to "learn" it.   ;  ok...ill prolly go pick up some C# or C++ books soon then :P   ;  Trust me, there are people who literally take months, if not years, to learn a programming language. I would personally take a look at C or C++, and then start learning. However, there is one thing I have to say:And MMORPG is way out of your reach at the moment. I would start of making something really simple in C/C++, such as a console-based calculator application, then move on to some more difficult things like the game paper-scissors-rock, then maybe a guess the number game, and so on. An MMORPG (even text-based) will be out of your reach for literally a few months at least.
