Knowing VB and C++, you might want to look into Java or dotNet development. You should be able to fairly easily convert your knowledge of VB into VB.Net or C++ into C# or Java.
I would suggest that you start with something simple to build along the lines of you untimate goal. Where your goal is to build an MMO, I would probably build a simple UI prototype in the language you choose to see if it's going to work for you.
Are you thinking of a client-server type app, where there would be a local installation? Or something fully run off of web tecnologies?
One thing to consider with the database choice, would be how complex of data you intend to be saving to the database. MySQL is a great option if you information is fairly simple, if you get into multiple databases or tables, or want stored procedures etc..., you should consider a more powerful database...
