The current engine is in C++, hard coded on the gserver (mudlib). As a result, it's (usually) very efficient. It could be coded in GS2 but the engine would be much less efficient on whichever physical server it resides on.

Once the engine was completed, if it were scripted in GS2, the developer would then have to create the content which uses it - such as farming, mining, dungeons, etc. For the lifetime of the product... one I think may be dying... I don't think the effort is worth it.
