I suggest you look at the following threads: Where to start with game programming For those of you that want to make an MMO Game Development resources and tools That should help you get started.

(PHP, C, C++, etc.) Personally, I'd use JAVA because the networking library is extensive. Here's a good tutorial for MMORPG's with JAVA: http://fivedots.coe.psu.ac.th/~ad/jg/

Using a library like SDL or Dark GDK will make your life loads easier, plus you can use other libraries in conjunction with them to make a 3d game if you so wish (which is sounds like you are thinking about). The good thing about single player games is there is no need for a server application nor socket connections (which simplifies things markedly). At this point you can disregard the second link I posted above NOTE - I am not a game programmer, so some of what I say on the topic may be incorrect, however it is something I did once look into. Hope that makes sense.

Most installed 3D games are written in C++. Or, you could use RPG maker for a small personal application.

Three you might want to look at are C++, C#(with XNA Framework) and Java. Any of these three would be good for making an RPG. I would pick one, learn to program in it, then worry about making an RPG. Creating any game takes time and effort. There are many concepts that you will need to learn beyond basic programming, especially if you are going to be doing 3D game programming. Best advice is to start small and work your way up. If you are interested in 2D RPGs with XNA, you can check the RPG links in my signature(not trying to plug my site.)
