No. Laughable. Overall, GS1 was closer to C than GS2 is - and resemblence to a completely unrelated programming language does not determine efficiency

more capabilities for data storage
'Capabilities'? Only in the very loosest sense.

Quote:
No, but some of the functions which are implemented can be already emulated by existing functions
Like what?

Quote:
Are you saying that, out of all the potential gamers for Graal, the current number of players is impressive?
Can you show that editing the tileset would bring in throngs of new players?

Quote:
what's the point of adding a ton of features in GS2 if less than half of the developing community know how to use it yet?
Ugh. The sheer stupidity. What if Thompson and Ritchie had said "What's the point of designing C if nobody knows how to use it yet"?

I wasn't defending myself with a question, I was posing a question to you
The question to which you took offense was "you're 'quitting', right?" I wasn't defending myself with this question, I was posing a question to you.

All of those is immaterial, of course, since you haven't shown why ending a sentence with a '?' automatically invalidates the point it makes.

Here we go again. More of the cookie-cutter, arrogant, snob-appeal attitude. Dude, I'm knocking everything you say down
Haha, do you never proofread? How can you possibly call me arrogant in the first sentence and then have the gall to write the second? It's blatant, hilarious hypocrisy.

I don't consider an update an update until it's complete. There's no such thing in my book as a 1/2 update
That's fascinating, but wholly irrelevant. Please try to use words to mean what they actually mean.

Quote:
As I said before. Global messaging/PM/chat system and a global friends list to name a couple
As far as I'm aware, those are all features in v4.

Quote:
A scripter could easily disable a server and delete alot of hard work, and also do alot more damage if the RC, PMs, and playerlist are all scripts
So we're envisioning an everything-deleted situation here? How much of an average playerworld's lifespan does that represent? How many people actually try to play the game during those blackouts? Do you really think it's worth limiting the game's flexibility just so that it will remain 10% playable in those specific circumstances, as opposed to 5%?

Also, "DELETE EVERYTHING RAR" does not count as an "exploit".

Quote:
I never claimed it didn't exist
"Graal4 is simply rumors"

At the very least, you implied that it doesn't have any real features.
