Can't make private variables by default as it would mess a lot of servers up. Maybe like a server option: privatevariablebydefault=true or something
I also posted this in another thread:

You could just do like:

NPC1:

NPC Code:

---

function onCreated() {

  public this.myvar = "Hello!";

  NPC2.getMyVar();

  private this.myvar;

  NPC2.getMyVar();

}

---

NPC2:

NPC Code:

---

function getMyVar() {

  echo("Test Results: " @ NPC1.myvar);

}

---

Echoed text:

NPC Code:

---

Test Results: Hello!

Test Results: 

---

Color coded to show you the format of the code too ;P
(You would use public and private much like you use new, if, else, while, do, etc.)
