Not really sure where to start. If you google about coding it's overwhelming. I'll go look again but I think I saw Visual Basic and one of the Javas offered in the fall.

Yeah, it can be overwhelming, but it's just something you need to take one step at a time and before you know it you're a programmer. As for Visual Basic vs. Java, both are decent introductory languages (I learned on a very old version of Visual Basic myself), but even so I'd recommend Java because it's much closer to C/C++. In some sense Java is just C++ without the hassle of managing memory.

That quote...is that saying EQ is a mix of C and C++?

That was from the EQ Emulator forum, and I believe they were referring to EQ Emulator's code. I assumed when you said you wanted to "work on mods and emus" that you were mainly referring to EverQuest, but even if your interest is more broad C and C++ are both used widely in game development.
As for C# ... if you're
only in to Windows development then the Microsoft suite of ".Net" languages (C#, Visual Basic, etc.) are great ... but if you want to develop for any platform other than Windows they're not so useful.
