Hello,

I am brand new to the whole programing world and I am very excited to get going but I need some help.

My intent is to ultimatly create a MMORPG like Darkorbit, or Runescape for example.

Is C++ the right tool for me? I have learned much of the language and am just learning how to fit it all together, but I just need to know if this will lead me in the right path

Thanks for the help!!

C++ is a good tool for this, but you will also have to learn some graphics libraries (such as DirectX or OpenGL), sound libraries (DirectX or OpenAL), etc. It's a long road, but you can get there.

Make sure you know a lot of the OOP methodologies and best-practices. You can easily make a very BAD program (unstable, buggy, hard to maintain) if you haven't spent time on it.
