Hi Tim 
The only advice I can give you is to start very small for your first project. Don''t try to make your ORPG as your first project or you''ll probably give up.
Now for the resources...
This site has tons of them (look at the bottom of the main page and click on "new? Start here"). The "links" section is also invaluable.
You might also want to check http://www.vbexplorer.com, as it contains VB tutorials about nearly anything, including game programming (you''ll also find sounds, artwork etc).
The DirectX SDK, althought sometimes very painful to read, is a great help too. There are VB + DirectX tutorials in there.
That''s about everything I can think about, ''cause I never used VB myself. I hope this will get you started.

first learn how to draw a square.
draw the square on the screen.
second, learn how to draw a circle.
draw the circle on the screen.
the circle is your hero.
the square is your tile world.
your hero''s mission is to see the world.
mission accomplished.
doesn''t git any easier than that)))

There are also a few other''s but these are the main one''s I would recommend. Also if your familiar with C++ you should pretty much stick with it even though VB and C++ are familiar in more then one way C++ has the slight advantage.
Also you say online ? Game server''s can be made with VB but I would highly not recommend it for obvious reasons.

First it will take a lot of time to create such a game. You need to understand the language first. After that it''s very useful to have some math. Which will give you some insight to several techniques. And then I think one of the most important elements: A good story and good graphics.
