To START a server then you don't need to know any programming language as all the tools used for this is already available for public you just need to follow some simple guides and if you are fast enough then you can have your server running in 20 minutes.

BUT, if you want to develop a good server and build some new features around it then you will need to know SQL and how the the vSRO database really work . If you are going for client or server files modifications then you will need to know ASM and C or C++ mainly.

First understand what does the files really do and understand how everything works starting from the Database tables. Look at some SQL Queries around the forums here they may let you understand how tables are related to each other and so.

At least that's how it worked for me,

Vb.net would help you make Programs which could help you manage your server (Packet Filters , MySQL Managers , bots , etc... ) There is no limits in this you could always do whatever you like , Everything got its advantages and disadvantages.
