Hey you guys I know you are probably going to see to use the search feature... but I have and I just run into old outdated engine topics on this subject.
So recently me and my friends decided to resurrect one of our old video game projects, and we would like to find a good 2D game engine, something along the lines of the ECLIPSE VB (free realms spin off) engine, but that supports C++ or Java. Keep in mind I myself am a starting programmer, I'm somewhat experienced with visual basic, some java, but recently moved up to C++. I would like an engine kinda like free realms if not better, with online capabilities.

-Thanks in advance

I dunno about an engine that supports C++ or Java. I know about VBOgre, that supports VB, obviously, but to be honest, I can't think of a 2D engine that uses C++.

I googled, and found this: http://hge.relishgames.com/overview.html. It's not online, but it's a 2D engine. Maybe you can integrate some network code as part of your project?

You could use that HGE, and use Raknet for networking:

They used it for the game Demigod.
