MMORPG in VB 6
March 05, 2002 08:08 PM
I was just considering this and thought it funny "Is it
possible to make an MMORPG in visual basic 6? If it is, is it
worth while, or should i just stick to getting better at C++.
Any ideas would be liked so voice your opinion good, or bad and
let me know.

In theory, it''s possible to do it in Pascal or COBOL. Have a blast! 
Seriously, it is not as much a question as to whether it is possible but more along the lines of what is the better tool?

It''s theoreticly posible in COBOL?! I thought COBOL was only capable of producing reports. (i.e. no input whatsoever) Granted I''m still learning COBOL(ugh) but I didn''t realize you could do anything more than mind nubming report records.

Someone is actually still teaching COBOL? When I was in college (in the late 80''s) we proved a point that in order to write a program that asked for 2 numbers and displayed their sum on the screen, you had to code three printed pages in COBOL. I hated that class!

It is very possible, how ever, it will be either
a) Very simple type of mmorpg
b) Crap all together
c) very slow
d very lagged

i''m guessing that you meant me... but anyways i was at work then so i didn''t have the link or the game installed... here it is:
RPG World Online
i haven''t played for several months now, since it started getting overrun with stupid kids... but it seems that the guy is constantly working on it to fix bugs and implement new features. pretty nifty, considering he is working alone and in VB...

yeah, COBOL SUCKS! That''s our comp sci department slogan at college 
.
We had it last year, but we whined so much, that they got it off the couseload. Like, they cancelled cobol from all the colleges that had it in our province(state).
