There is a grain of truth to this though. Nevergrind was made using web technologies (JavaScript and some related HTML5 bits), and those technologies are much more accessible than the language and libraries you'd need to make a "real" game like an EQ Emulator server.

If you really just want to make a game, and nothing more complex than say Nevergrind, an entirely different approach would be to learn web tech (mainly JavaScript); you won't be able to make your own EQ Emulator server, but you will be able to make simpler games in less time.

I'm a web guy myself though (in fact I'm almost done writing a book about a JavaScript library), so I'm a little biased.
