Probably Java or Flash for online games. Welcome to the forums.

It is. Most multiplayer games, including MMORPGs, are actually written in C++ - multiplayer browser games such as Runescape are usually written in Java and Flash.

C/C++ isn't too bad to learn as a first language. Making games with it might take a while. Java is slightly easier to learn, in my opinion, because of the exclusion of pointers, and it'll probably be easier to make online games with Java (I'm assuming this is going to be a game that you can play off of a website. If you're thinking about making something like Diablo II, Starcraft, or World of Warcraft, definitely go C/C++).

ok thanks, one last question, what sort of time space are we talking about to learn how to make just a 2d game, what would be probably the minimum time?
