Interviews! Looking at the world files themselves is all fine and well, but it doesn't tell you about future plans or how the staff will handle the conversion process. Houdini, you mentioned some criteria for grading the world's scripting. One extremely important criterion that should be used is security. How many times have I seen client strings used for sensitive data? You don't know, but I do, and it is thus: TOO MANY. The server's scripters should be interviewed to see just how much they know about creating a secure client/server model etc. Nothing ruins a playerworld like duped items and cheating idiots.
Precisely!! Whichs brings me to say: Developers should be reviewers. PEople who can do everything; ganis, graphics, levels, NPCs, the whole deal. Then a true review can be made, because then we can look at the script quality and functions, the ganis quality, ganiscripts...everything. Or a team of 4, covering each area heh.
