I been coding for about 5 years now, and I have always wondered what kind of language a MMO like wizard101 was made with. Is it C++? C#? Java? JavaScript?

Thank you in advance! As always, good luck wizards!

I think I remember seeing somewhere that it's C++ but I don't remember where I saw it. Hopefully dworgyn can answer, It's great to see other coders out there, I love doing it.

It is indeed C++.

There's a great blog post from Cheryl Starcher you may want to read:

That is awesome! I know C++, that was the language we used in Computer Science! Granted, my experience is very limited with it.

Yes, it is C++, using the Gamebryo library. The game is also scripted with Lua.
