Modelled after the C language, more efficient as a result: more capabilities for data storage. GUI capabilities.

No, but some of the functions which are implemented can be already emulated by existing functions.

Are you saying that, out of all the potential gamers for Graal, the current number of players is impressive?

I didn't say you said that, I said you can't say that. And 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?

Here we go again.
More of the cookie-cutter, arrogant, snob-appeal attitude. Dude, I'm knocking everything you say down. Don't pretend you're winning this pissing contest.

An update in the sense that I'm using it is an addition/tweak/fix to the Graal client or engine. And anyway, 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.

As I said before. Global messaging/PM/chat system and a global friends list to name a couple.

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.

I never claimed it didn't exist. There are lots of rumors of what it is, but there has been no actual description of it.
