1. What does mirage need right now? A good game? Or a new engine?
Mirage doesn't really need anything, but we can't get enough of talented programmers. People outside Mirage might want a engine, but most of the members here are trying to do their own things but I guess there are some here who would love a good engine. But I say make a game, it's much more fun.
2. Where can I learn vb6 fast so i can start programming my project
Just dig into the source. Go through form after form, and then go through the module. For example you can go into frmMainMenu, press the login button. Follow the packet as it travels to the server and back. Basicly read the source, because if your using mirage. You need to know all the subs and functions that exists.
3. Is it too late to learn vb6? Should I learn another language?
As long as windows doesn't make a new OS that doesn't support vb it's not to late. And even if they did, a lot of people would still use xp and vista and then they can play your game. VB is fun to learn, you will enjoy it a lot more the first year compared to if you start learning C# or any other language. There aren't many game programming communities. But you found one, and I suggest you use it and learn how programming works. Before you move forward.
