The module thing I was talking about was, each server could automatically send their module to each client so they may play on that modified/enhanced server making the server owner responsible for updating their client module, so there wont be a need to universally update the client anymore (after the proper modifications to allow modules was added of course)
The only thing that graal would universally share would be users and account info so technically brand new games could be made all tied into the graal user base.
People would most likely make their own game but wouldnt get the user base if they didnt tie their server into the network. They wouldnt be allowed to buy the source if they werent going to tie into the network, hopefully.
Every Server would actually run on their own, that is the point of having the source and running your own server. So "hackers" and all of that is your problem not graal's.
The scripting language would be updated depending on you want to do with your server, or auto updates could be enabled downloading updates made by stefan/others could be incorperated so that you wouldnt have to addon to the existing language.
Having your modules and server in a different language wouldnt matter if you werent going to help in the general development of the server/game but some would like to stay using delphi and return source to other server owners/developers to update their client with their modifications

What's the point of buying Graal's source code if you're just going to "redo" it and make it a "whole new game"? I just think that it's not worth doing if you know how to program enough to make any good modifications, and in that case you should do just that, make a new game. There aren't millions (or close to that amount) of players on Graal, so why would you even worry about the same user database? If you want your friends etc. to come play your game, then invite them to. I mean, I'm not against anyone trying to help, but I don't believe that a lot of people editing the source code for many different servers and clients will actually help much; I do believe that more "official" programmers would though, so try getting hired! Now tell me that you don't live in France and probably wouldn't get hired anyway etc.
I don't know, I just don't believe that this should happen.. good luck to whoever wants it to.
