I think Globals should do the work Once. If we could get the legendary Globals together to build One Basic Server that's absolutely perfect in all respects except content - it has a beautiful yet simple movement script, it has push-pull blocks and arrows that work and bombs that work and baddies that act just as their old clientside counterparts did - then they could set that as the Template and have done with. Every server thereafter would have a head start - sure, they CAN rescript movement from scratch if they want, but if they want to just make a GS2 world as easily as if they were making a Classic server, have at it.

Then our genius globals could hash out some clever tools too, like a tiling NPCW that's run from the game proper - you give a Tiler the Tiling Gun and he can go around changing tiles in realtime, but it's got a lockout so he can't put paths where there once were walls - he can just fix the walls so the bricks line up, etc. (Can't change onwall to not onwall, onwater to not onwater, etc, without permission) - little things like that to help every server admin delegate.
