Hello, Well, scripting made it so that data could be manipulated on the fly without the need to have to recompile and reboot. I mean, even on the developer Site for FarCry and many others, this is the exact reason that they say they choose lua..
Look at LPC or the older style muds like that. With that type of scripting, you could manipulate everything all from within the mud itself. You can't do that with loading to memory or with using sql, pgsql, mysql or any others. Chris
