Well...start off small, dont be like: OMG IM GONNA MAKE A NEW MMORPG THAT WILL MAKE ME MILLIONS!Start of with a private server, coded in C++ or VB, like a TitanMS (which is the C++ source of Maplestory) Maplestory Private server. Code NPCs, Quests, etc, etc...And Im pretty sure that there are more than just Maple private servers coded in C++.BUT personally, I reccomend learning Java, which is almost like an advanced version of C++ and will get you WAYYY farther than C++ and VB. Because more things and games are coded in Java, and I can go on and on about how much farther u will get with Java.Hope this helps!

Yai64,OdinMS WAS the first private server, though it was private, as in, they did not release their source so other people could create their own. In fact, TitanMS was the SECOND PServer, coded entirely differently, and they released their source first. OdinMS was sued because of being the root of many private servers including mine. Also here is what Nexon did in the scheme of things:1. Sued Odin...Still going through the lawsuit.Then nothing happened for a while...A few sorce owners merged OdinSnow>OdinTeh>FlowsionMS, and now they are on the latest MS version, .61. Theres alot more to this part, but I dont feel like typing it.2. koolk (Owner of TitanMS) Arrested for repacking WZ files, and adding stuff like pacman and KFC and such. People say this is karma for not releasing his source and wz repacking after v.58.3. FlowsionMS Is being shut down (Forums are still up). And Flowsion the owner got a call from Nexon claiming that the shutdown letter is true...and then here is what they also told him: "Vana will be the next we take a look at."Dont know what Vana is? Vana is the v.61 TitanMS source, just like Flowsion is the v.61 Odin. Not owned by the main Odin and Titan creators.That is all.-Przn
