With all due respect (very little), you don't know what you're talking about. Very few variables would be needed, and they wouldn't consume much space. And if you want to talk about ease of use then how about the hassle that would be necessary to fix a typo, if the newspapers were stored in image format. We're scripters, dude. This is what we do. Stick to... whatever it is that you do.

As for the pollution analogy, I think it's been demonstrated that the analogy fits. You might argue about scales, but in doing so you're missing the point of metaphors, and clearly just evading the real issues.

Do NPC servers have space limitations? I assume they're stored somewhere as txt files but never have looked in to it besides classes
NPC Servers are not text files. The scripts they use are stored as text files somewhere, but they're usually comparatively small (even 10KB is nothing) and there's no real limit.
