Answer 3

I would use C++ it is supported by both windows and Unix/Linux environments. Most game server will have a *nix server and a windows client mainly because *nix bases systems run faster, more secure and stable. The other thing that you have to take into account is what data base you will use that will make a difference on what platform you chose. For the front end (aka gui) you can pick countless languages I would try a few and bases your decision on witch you find the easiest to program in. Most languages are alike so if you can program in one it isn't hard to move to another allot of it has to do with personal taste and the ability to move it cross platform
